“Had a wonderful weekend at the poets cove resort! The room is cozy and clean and has spectacular views of the harbour. The restaurant downstairs has great vibe serving delicious dinner with sunset views and live band by the water. We made good use of the well maintained tennis court and the hot tubs during our stay which is such a bonus!”

“Amazing Experience, the resort isnt 100% polished (could use some love) and money spent on it but it's still very clean. 8/10 for resort (could be a 10 easy if the furniture was re-stained and odds and ends fixed, pool area probably is where its the most rough.) Customer service is great, and grounds where very tiddy. 10/10 Had an amazing time and price is very good value for the stay. Value 9/10 The restaurant was also enjoyable but price was a little high for the portion sizes but the food was delicious and on point 7.5/10 value, dining service was 10/10. Overall a great place to stay on beautiful Pender Island.”

“A beautiful resort built on South Pender and has a lot of interesting history. The marina is beautiful and a great spot for boaters to spend a day or two. But being supplies. South Pender is remote and there’s no easy way to get to town without a car. The resort is great for land lovers, and the views from the pools are simply worth every penny to spend a day or two. Such a beautiful spot where the Ravens chatter, the wind blows softly, and the sunshine on your skin feels like you’re refuelling. The food is good and there is live music on the weekends while you enjoy an oceanfront view from their restaurant . Romantic but also family friendly, this is indeed a special spot.”
