Tigh-Na-Mara Seaside Spa Resort

Other than semi-limited parking, the one night stay here was great. I had to leave my room to go to the front desk for assistance then again to pick up my food and I lost my spot both times. I ended up having to park by the next building over. The front desk staff were fantastic and extremely helpful. The pizza from the restaurant was great. Fantastic room and beautiful view of the ocean. The only other small thing is I think the coffee maker was fried so I did a make shift pour over method.

Love the area space was nice, parking could use some work.

The grotto is extremely overpriced and you cannot book a massage without. A $150 grotto 2 hr charge. Outrageous. Room service is not automatically done

The ocean views are amazing. The Grotto spa is a relaxing way to spend time with friends at the resort. My esthetician was excellent.

Parking at Oceanview Suites was not well done. Need better marking of parking spaces. Also need to pave are or fill potholes.

Fantastic stay! The room was clean and comfortable, but what made it truly special was the outstanding service from front desk staff, Navdeep. He was warm, professional, and went out of his way to help with every request. The Grotto spa experience was great as well.

Quiet and relaxing. Perfect for couples to get away from the kids. The spa is a bit pricey but worth it.

Great place and the grotto experience was stellar!

Best Spa

Check-in was easy and the staff were polite. Parking was a nightmare. We stayed in one of the spa bungalows. There are 4 bungalows to a building and 4 buildings shared our tiny gravel lot. Trying to find a spot to bring in luggage was difficult and even coming back late at night, you were lucky to get a spot. The room was clean but the walls were paper thin. You could hear every conversation on either side at all times. The spa was within walking distance but given the muddy/gravel road, you had to wear regular shoes to get there. The spa was gorgeous and the service was amazing. The spa was, in my opinion, the only reason the stay was worth the price. However, you do not need to stay on the property to visit the spa. The tapas dining was a fun and unique experience. We also dined at Cedars. The food was good and service was fine for how busy they were. Check-out was a bit of nightmare and it was partially due to Expedia (we booked our trip 3rd party). Expedia discloses on their receipt "Final payment will be settled in local currency directly with the property." Whenever we visit Canada, we always pay a deposit in US dollars and then it is converted into CAD at check out. This often results in a credit to go towards final bill. When I asked for the room bill, I was told I was not allowed to have it. It was "confidential" and they would bill Expedia directly. This felt shady to me. I wanted to know what the rate we paid was. Neither Expedia nor the resort would tell us.

Well the shower was moldy and it was definitely super misleading on the website i thought our bungalow was on the beach, the grotto had canceleld our reso for the spa dinner so we went to the other place and our food was terrible this was supposed to be a couple get away and it was just over all very disappointing experience the staff was great though no conplaints in regards to the staff members

Such a lovely Bungalow! Private, clean, romantic

Clean, bed was very comfortable, friendly staff

The balconies were nice, the overall facility was nice, the spa was excellent, and it is very understandable why this is a popular place! It's expensive but what isn't these days! WARNING ⚠️ One thing that really bothered me was the amount of spiders & spider webs surrounding the bedposts, and throughout the facility (i.e., light fixtures in the dining room, cobwebs

Fantastic stay! The room was clean and comfortable, but what made it truly special was the outstanding service from front desk staff, Navdeep. He was warm, professional, and went out of his way to help with every request. The Grotto spa experience was great as well.

When we checked in it would have been good to have known the next day we could have had spa treatment at half price. The three of us would have been interested in that and frustrated that we were not told at time of booking in or any information in our room. The room was dated the bathroom lacked soap, tissues, The door had some damage to it where some hooks had obviously been and fallen off and holes were in the door. The door at the bottom was so ratty and the taps hot and cold indicator were just placed on so every time you turn the handle to get water they popped off.

The room is clean and spacious. Parking space is in front of our room. Very quiet and pleasant place to relax. Staffs are friendly. Grotto spa is nice and clean. If you’re interested to take the dine in package, make sure your robe is dry because it will take you 1 1/2 hrs to finish the whole small serving course.

When we checked in we were told that no working in house staff would be available. We entered our unit 510 and immediately found out that the closet on the right after entering was broken and part of the door could not be opened. The next thing we discovered was when we would flush our toilet the toilet bowl would not re-fil which required me to take the top off the tank and play with the parts to get the flush to re-fil. This was required every time we would flush the toilet. Next we discovered that the stopper in the sink did not have the part required to open and close the sink and we had to use two knives to open in order to brush our teeth without having the sink fill up. Then the first morning I could not use the sink to shave as the sink would again be closed and would require us to use knives to open again if we could. This did take some time to do the first time and we did not want to have the sink full of water during our stay. When I reported the above information when I checked out, the agent did say sorry but I would have thought some adjustment would have been awarded to us for our aggrivation that was experienced by us, but was not. Very doubtful that we would go to your property again. Perhaps we would attend at one of the other properties available near your property. I have checked them out. Thank you and have a great day.

The location is terrific. Room was very clean, but was pretty dated, and smaller than I had imagined from the photos.

Beautiful scenery and their own beach area. Helpful staff. very clean.

The property is beautiful and the beach access is fantastic. We did the Dip and Dine package at the Grotto Spa as well which was lovely. Our room was in the Jedidiah rooms (studio with a kitchenette)—it was nice but unfortunately couldn't sleep well either due to the bed or lack of AC (warm sleeper). Overall great stay though!

Room was beautiful. Loved all the wood furniture and beams

Staff was very friendly, room was great. TV didn't work properly and kept turning off and rebooting randomly which was unfortunate but otherwise everything was lovely!

Got this bungalow style from hotel.com. But when we have arrived to the site it’s not a real bungalow house it’s more like low level apartments. And the room has a very small kitchen( or I should say it’s more like camping kitchen) place is small for 4 people to stay.

We saw a double rainbow on our beach stroll and had a lovely mineral bath in our room with a jetted tub, we stayed in one of the bungalows, a bit of traffic noise due to proximity to the hwy, but still lovely.

Bungalow spa suites are overdue for new mattresses .

Actually the bungalow room was a little tired, but the staff were wonderful!

I like the forested surroundings and the accessibility to the sandy beautiful beach. We were on the first floor and unfortunately we could hear the guests above us walking on the floor and moving the kitchen chairs. Also, it was quite loud when the cleaning staff were cleaning the unit above us.

Rooms are extremely dated and not worth the high star rating. Spa is the highlight forsure rooms are very lacking. Did love the new communication via text when rooms are ready.

The location is terrific. Room was very clean, but was pretty dated, and smaller than I had imagined from the photos.

The staff are very friendly and professional .

Have been coming here for 20 years on our wedding anniversary. Great service

friendly front desk

Totaly enjoyed our stay. All staff were extremely friendly, helpful and efficient. Only one suggestion: the hot tub by the pool is ancient and needs to be replaced.

The bedskirt was ripped. There was a chunk missing from the carpet. No room service. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was delicious.

Checkin was quick and the host allowed us in early. Room was clean and had all amenities you would expect. Beautiful place!

We paid extra for an ocean view and we got ground level obstructed by trees and bushes. The ocean view was the purpose for the trip.

Beautiful scenery. Loved the fact that we could sit on our balcony and overlook the ocean.

We had a beautiful ocean view room, walked on the beach everyday

Beautiful wooded property on the water. Our room had an ocean view. The rooms are in many smaller buildings scattered through the property. It is large enough that we drove back to the main building for dinner.

quite and beautiful place.

A quiet, tranquil forest get away with sandy beach just 5 minutes away. Beautiful spa, and nice people.

Beautiful forested grounds and outstanding beach. So much sand at low tide!

Great tapas

The grotto spa, late night pizza and jetted tub made our kid free date night a 11/10! We will be back.

We booked the end of the year at this resort because the dinner and brunch packages were well advertised and we wanted something special to celebrate our anniversary. The resort was fairly busy but we enjoyed our room which was well appointed and very cozy. The dinner was excellent and made for a special evening. However, the bottomless brunch buffet was a cringe. Serving a buffet one bite at a time on tiny plates defies the rules of a traditional buffet. So I believe the advertised package was quite misleading for anyone who planned their food options step by step. And embarrassing in the same time as we had to struggle with the orders every second bite. My husband literally had 4 pieces of bacon and a poached egg for $80.00 and then the server charged us for the latte just because there was no coffee station and we believed coffee would be included in the menu. Latte or not! The thing is, we didn’t mind the price of the package at all, but we didn’t really experienced all the selections because we got fed up of studying the menu while we were trying to enjoy the breakfast. In the end, we had a good time there and we will definitely come back, but next time I’ll ask more questions ahead of time.

I booked a one night stay here with my family after spending a week in Tofino so we could break up the travel. It was a hidden gem. It reminded me of the place in Dirty Dancing. Cute cabins spread out, sports court, great spa, fitness centre and pool and beach access. Also the highlight was probably Cedars restaurant. I ordered the short rib and gnocchi and while we enjoyed the food in Tofino this was probably the best meal we had all week. We will definitely go back for a longer stay.

We loved the location! Also our accommodations were lovely. We also truly enjoyed the Grotto Spa and the Treetops dining experience. Very memorable!

Food at restaurant was very good. Need more packets of medium roast coffee in kitchen.

Stayed in spa bungalow. Needs a bit of a refresh of carpeting. Food at Cedars restaurant was not good

The restaurant food is not up to standard

The bedskirt was ripped. There was a chunk missing from the carpet. No room service. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was delicious.
