What guests think

At The Quarterdeck Resort, travelers consistently praise the gorgeous beachside setting and ocean views, along with friendly staff and convenient on-site amenities like indoor and outdoor pools, a sauna, and a small theatre that keep families entertained.

Rooms are often described as clean, comfortable, and modern, many with balconies or kitchenettes and impressive views. Many enjoy the on-site Grill, but reservations are wise; some note limited menus or higher prices and few alternative dining options nearby. Expect a scenic, relaxing beach stay with family amenities, plus occasional maintenance issues, pool safety concerns, and a few layout or pet policy quirks.

Amazing property with great views! This resort has thought of everything. Comfortable beds and pillows, great views, very clean, excellent amenities including indoor and outdoor pool, movie theatre and more. Walk to Summerville Beach ranked number 2 in Nova Scotia. The Grill was fabulous 5 out of 5. We had 4 meals there all were exceptional and couldn’t have been better. Also with amazing views as it overhangs the beach. Will definitely be back to this lovely property.

Great location and amazing facilities, my family and I explored nearby Summerville Beach (direct across the road) as well as the restaurant with amazing ocean front views. The movie theatre was a big plus for my kids.

The restaurant was very good, with a great view. Trying to figure out where to check in was an ordeal. It's in a tiny building on the opposite side of a dangerous road. Pulling out from the check-in side of the road, we were about to be hit by a truck because of the bushes in the way. Also, there is very little parking for the restaurant. The room was fine, but the bathroom had nowhere to put your things.

I cannot in good faith give less than 5 stars because even small issues such as our door lock not latching were addressed immediately by the most kind and attentive staff. We had an excellent stay, the rooms were great, the beds were comfy, the sound of the ocean was perfect. There is constructing happening to expand the resort, but other than an occasional backup beeping, it didn’t impede our stay and we barely noticed. The club house is a great space for rainy days, the outdoor pool was clean and temperature was warm.

We had a horrible stay because my wife broke her foot at the indoor pool. The handrail into the pool was broken, but not visibly. It swung out when she gripped it. She fell badly and banged her foot on the concrete steps into the pool. I wrote to management, told the front desk and called several days later. Each time i reached out i was told management would be in touch. That was several weeks ago and we haven't heard a word. We are not looking for anything other than an acknowledgement and an apology. I will make sure i tell everyonecwho asks Not to stay at the Quarterdeck. Their management is rude and insensitive. We will never go near the place again.

I'm deeply sorry for the experience reflected in this review. The location is stunning, with a beautiful beach, lovely surroundings, and nice rooms. However, our room had a strong sewer-like odor. Initially, I thought it was something else, but after checking the bathroom and searching for a possible dead rodent, we closed all the windows, and the smell eventually faded. The parking lot also had an overwhelming stench that was nearly unbearable. While at the beach, we occasionally noticed a similar odor, raising concerns about possible sewage dumping. We stayed in a beachfront room, but our last night was in a room across the road, where we experienced no smell issues. Despite the beauty of the area, I likely wouldn’t return due to these concerns.

I would suggest that the over rated hype related to this place is directly related to its location on a beautiful beach. It includes a nice restaurant but is otherwise highly overrated for high priced accommodations and meals that are nothing extra. The room includes a well used love seat with dirty arms, an annoying gang of house flies and a leaky toilet. The power was out for several hours but we didn’t hear from anyone or see anyone other than a few unfriendly workers around the property upon departure. No housekeeping staff were visible. Our phone flashed red continuously but we were advised that it was malfunctioning and not messages. It is easy to be mislead by website room descriptions and locations and the restaurant appeared to be fully booked online so had to call several times. It wasn’t busy at all other than a booking of several people with reservations on the second floor who drew our waiter away. Disappointing.

The hotel presents itself as a beachfront property when, in fact, only a small number of rooms are “on” the beach. Also, the door lock was ripped of the door so all we had was the cheap handle lock. Felt a little nervous about that.

When you book what you think is a very nice hotel!! I think I expect a little more!! Jumped in the shower quick cause we arrived at 5 after a long day flying from Alberta. We had dinner reservation for 6. I went to grab a towel and there were 2 hanging up, BOTH DIRTY AS SEEN IN PICTURE, GROSS, took them to the front desk and all that was said, was “I’ll get you a couple of new ones” Couldn’t control the temp in the room, it was freezing!! Then jump in the shower in the morning, they have bottles of shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Instead of pulling mine out that was already packed up, I jumped in the shower thinking I would use them. And lo and behold THEY WERE ALL EMPTY!!! absolutely unacceptable!!!

We loved the Grille, staff and food. We loved our room. Very clean and comfortable with a gorgeous view of the ocean. Our only complaint, we were in the 3 story section facing the ocean on the 2nd floor. (219) and the person or persons occupying 319 were very heavy walkers. Stomping all day long. The rooms a small enough, I don't know where they were going, back and forth it seemed. It stopped before time for bed, but all day long. I did not complain to the front desk staff. It is very difficult to ask someone to change how they walk. We will definitely be back; but would be sure to ask for the lovely little rooms along the water with no one above. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

Booked this reservation through Expedia which indicated that it was pet friendly. When I chose the room it did not provide any indication whether the room I chose was pet friendly. When I arrived I discovered that I did not get the room I selected it was much smaller with no kitchenette but still had to pay the rate for the original room. That seems to be an Expedia issue. Also they provided a TV but there were only about 5 channels available and they didn’t provide any information on what they were.

My bad I guess I should’ve studied the menu and preordered…but I grew wiser and reserved for other dinners and breakfasts in advance and things went great! The food and staff are both delightful!!

Overall, we had a very good stay here. The room was spacious, very clean, and had a beautiful ocean view. Housekeeping was prompt and responsive whenever we needed anything, and the front desk staff were all friendly and welcoming — really appreciated that. A few downsides: the on-site restaurant had limited options, opened relatively late, and the food selection was small with just average taste and value for money. There aren’t many other dining choices nearby either, so you’ll need to drive a fair distance for alternatives. As for entertainment, the facilities were quite basic — the "movie room," board games area, and indoor swimming pool felt a bit underwhelming. While we understand that most guests likely come for the beach and surrounding nature, it would be nice if the indoor amenities could be made a bit more engaging, especially since they’re already part of the offering. That said, we would still recommend this resort. It's a great stopover for anyone exploring the southern coast of Halifax — including the many scenic beaches, coastal parks, and charming small towns along the way.
