We enjoyed the Oceanside beach suite. By staying there we experienced the beauty and tranquility of living on the beach and the sunrise in the morning is breathtaking. You actually wake up looking at the sunrise from your bed. Fiona was a friendly and helpful host. The suite is smaller (like European sized) but we had everything we needed for a week long stay and the deck adds so much space. The location is central to the Victoria area east coast with a short drive to Victoria downtown, the parks nearby and the airport. This made it easy for us to experience a variety of activities, and to easily get around, this being our first visit to the area. Cordova Bay, as a resort community, is enjoyable in itself especially if you enjoy walking the beachside.
