Nice balcony with great view over the harbour. Grounds were nicely maintained and we enjoyed the pool and hot tub. We had one dinner and one breakfast in the resort’s restaurants and they were both good. We’d definitely stay here again.

It’s an absolutely gorgeous property. Definitely the place to stay on Pender. However, the staff are not well versed in the art of hospitality and when you look at details, the place is not well maintained.

We had a wonderful stay at Poets Cove Resort. Our room was spacious, clean, private, and very comfortable, which made it easy for our family to relax and enjoy the island. The hot tub was a great feature and made the stay feel extra special. We also really enjoyed the food, and the overall atmosphere of the resort was peaceful and welcoming. We had a great time and would happily stay again.

We enjoyed our stay at Poets Cove. The food was excellent, the bed was very comfortable, pools were well maintained. The room was very warm as no A/C but once we got the fans going it was nice. The location is remote and very quiet which we liked.We took advantage of the kayak rentals and drove to some lookout spots nearby.

Had a wonderful weekend at the poets cove resort! The room is cozy and clean and has spectacular views of the harbour. The restaurant downstairs has great vibe serving delicious dinner with sunset view and live band by the water. We made good use of the well maintained tennis court and the hot tub during our stay which is such a bonus!

We have really enjoyed our stays at Poets Cove. The amenities are great and the accommodations very comfortable for our family of 5. The property is very clean, however, it is showing its age and could definitely use a refresh. The living room furniture in our cabin was old and worn. Updated furniture would go a long way to improving the overall experience. You will be very happy as long as you are not expecting a 5 star property. Still the best resort of all the Gulf Islands, in my opinion.
