Riverside Resort & RV Park

The unit was very nicely stocked with dishes and utensils. Microwave, coffee maker, frig with freezer. Everything is good. The staff were very pleasant and very helpful and we had so much fun with the mini golf.

We had a wonderful stay at Riverside Resort in Qualicum Beach. It is very family-friendly, and our detached one-bedroom cottage was comfortable and private. We especially enjoyed the firepit, barbecue, and outdoor dining area. The mini golf was a lot of fun, and the outdoor pool and waterslide were a big hit with the kids. It’s a great place for a relaxing family getaway!

Overall it was a nice stay. Great amenities for the kids and they were all open and in good repair. Staff were quite friendly. We stayed in a two-queen bed poolside unit and the music from the pool goes from 10am to 8pm and is very loud, so if you're looking for quiet, that's not the unit type for you. Bonus was that there was a BBQ on our patio that we didn't expect. Our room, bedding and towels were clean and everything worked well, although the stovetop was a bit tricky to use. One area for improvement is housekeeping. They need to respect the signs that are on the doors. Once they knocked when it said Do Not Disturb, and once they walked right on in when it said Do Not Disturb. A couple times we did not get our maid service because they said the sign said Do Not Disturb, but I guess they had seen that in the morning and never circled back after we left around noon and flipped our sign to Maid Service. They were responsive though and generously replenished what we needed when we asked. Note that housekeeping doesn't make the beds during maid service, which is lame when you're in vacation mode. Lol! One area of concern was that one of the lifeguards wasn't very attentive. He kept doing handstands, stepping out of the pool area, and was busy on his phone. If parents weren't watching their children, that could have been tragic. Also, while the music was generally fun, some of it had adult themes and swear words - inappropriate for the many young children at the pool.

The hotel staff were beyond friendly and the room was spacious and clean with a comfortable bed. We got a pizza from the store and it was delicious. I browsed the store while waiting for the pizza and it was really well stocked. Will definitely come back.
