We spent one night at the Beach Club Resort before catching the ferry back to the Canadian mainland. This appears to be an older property but nicely renovated. From the moment we were greeted at the front desk we felt welcomed. The young man checking us in went out of his way in several areas to help us out: recommendation, an envelope,complete with a Canadian stamp (and didn't accept any money!) Our waterfront room had a good-sized balcony and we wished it wasn't December so we could have enjoyed it along with the boardwalk below. The water view and mountains on the far side were spectacular. We enjoyed lunch in the intimate, onsite restaurant. For dinner we selected a cozy table in the corner of the bar to enjoy the fireplace. The drinks and small plates we ordered were perfect and the bartender/waiter couldn't have been nicer. He provided a detailed list of places to visit at our next stop, Whister, B.C. The drive to the ferry the next morning was easy. Next time we are in the area, we will stay again.
