stopped in here with my wife and our friend who lives on the island who was touring us around as we are from Ontario. Classy entrance to the resort. We were here for dinner before returning south of Nanaimo. Although service was slow, everything was at a relaxed pace and we were not in a hurry. Found out later that the lounge was understaffed that evening. We enjoyed the view from the oceanfront lounge as we sipped our drinks and awaiting our dinner. Food came hot. My wife & I both enjoyed our fish & chips. Washrooms were a distant from the lounge but they were spotless! Everything about this place oozes classiness. I had a quick look around the ground floor of the resort: the main dining room, lobby, washroom, outside terraces. Looks like a marvelous place to stay, too. We were only here for dinner. My ratings are only of the restaurant as we did stay the night. Read less

We stayed here during our trip to Ucuelet and Tofino in the summer. First of all, this part of the world is breaktakingly beautiful. We picked Black Rock because the hotels in this area are super high end (Wickaninish) or low end (Best Western), and the Black Rock was a good mid-range option.

We stayed here during our trip to Ucuelet and Tofino in the summer. First of all, this part of the world is breaktakingly beautiful. We picked Black Rock because the hotels in this area are super high end (Wickaninish) or low end (Best Western), and the Black Rock was a good mid-range option. The hotel is in a beautiful location on the Pacific Trail and has great views of the coast line. It's also a short drive (5 min) or walk (15-20?) from downtown Ukee so it's location is prime. The staff was super accommodating and helpful as well. The hotel must've been beautiful at one point, but it felt like it was in desperate need of some TLC. The walls needed paint, the bathtub faucet was rusted, the hallway was dingy, even the "Do Not Disturb" sign was falling apart. That being said, compared to the other options in the area, I still think the Black Rock was a great option and would likely stay there again. One other word of caution - their "spa" isn't really a spa. We decided to get facials (which usually come with steaming, exfoliation, extraction, hydrating, UV) but only got an application of different creams to my face. I understand that they may not have the equipment to do these services, but they shouldn't advertise as a full-service spa especially if the facials cost $200+ for some creams. I can do that myself!
