I had a really nice stay at the resort, especially considering the beautiful views and the accommodating staff. The room overlooking the bay was fantastic, and the meal at the restaurant was excellent. However, I did encounter some issues with the housekeeping, and the suite we received didn’t offer much privacy compared to standalone units. Overall, it was a great experience, but there are areas that could use improvement.

Rooms

The room was beautiful with stunning views of the bay, but the suite we received lacked privacy due to it being on the second floor and not standalone. The kitchen was well stocked, though the absence of an oven was surprising.

Staff were very accommodating, and I appreciated the manager’s effort in returning a lost item to me at no charge. However, I found the response to requests for fresh towels a bit reluctant.

We had a wonderful and relaxing getaway at the resort. The oceanfront villas were modern, clean, and spacious, offering stunning views that made our stay even more enjoyable. The dining options were fantastic, with top-notch service at the restaurant, but it would have been nice to have more breakfast choices available. Overall, it's a great place to unwind, although some amenities were not available during our visit, which was a bit disappointing.

Overall, I had a lovely time at Mayne Island Resort and Spa. The room was clean, comfortable, and came with an amazing view from the private balcony. The staff was friendly, and I appreciated the relaxed vibe. However, I was disappointed by the state of the fitness room, which didn't have the equipment I was hoping for. The dining options were a highlight, but knowing the spa was closed was a bit of a letdown.

I recently stayed at Mayne Island Resort and had a pleasant experience overall. The views from the hotel are absolutely lovely, and the ambiance is quite relaxing. However, some areas need attention, particularly the cleanliness of the pool and hot tub, and the comfort of the beds could be improved. The dining options were limited, but the food was surprisingly good.

My stay was a bit of a mixed bag at this resort. The views from our cabin were absolutely stunning, and the amenities like the heated floors and soaker tub in the bathroom were truly top-notch. However, my experience at another part of the resort was disappointing due to cleanliness issues in the room, which really dragged down the overall experience. Despite the service and food being excellent at the Bistro, the upkeep of the accommodations needs significant improvement.
