Ocean Village Beach Resort

I’ve only ever stayed at Ocean Village Beach Resort and after visiting other accommodations in Tofino, for the value, I will ALWAYS stay at Ocean Village Beach Resort. Our upper floor suite was perfected outfitted and lovely. The people staying below us were quite rowdy and drowned out the ocean sounds but we put on the bathroom fan and could no longer hear them!
Great beach access, lovely facilities and great front desk staff. We’ll be back!

I will be honest. I was not expecting much from this place. Was figuring it may be run down. I could not have been more wrong. It was very clean and modern in a rustic sorta way. We stayed in a upstairs unit along the beach in one of the four «huts» to the right side of the property. Great view and having once lived on the beach I loved leaving the deck door open during the evening sleeping to the sound of the surf.
Kim at the front desk was super friendly and helpful as was the rest of the staff. Awesome indoor pool and jacuzzi. My only complaint would be lack of usable Wifi but I was not very concerned with the outside world while I was here. I know there are some other great hotels in the area but I’ve found my home when in Tofino.

Had an amazing time. Everything was clean, the natural shampoo/​conditioner/​body wash was great, staff were friendly. Even the pullout couch was comfortable. Organic coffee was restocked everyday. Although I didn’t use it, the pool area looked great. Location is close to Tofino but far enough out that it’s quiet. The beach is gorgeous, and for ocean view with a balcony the price was a steal. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is because the wifi/​reception was very frustrating. It rarely worked. Other than that I had no complaints! And can’t wait to go back

This place is like a fancy summer camp for families. They have boogie boards, sand toys, board games etc. The cabins are nice, right on the beach. From the kids running around to the families cooking on the big communal grills to the camp fires on the beach, the atmosphere of this place is amazing. My son didn’t even realize there wasn’t a tv until day 2 of our stay. I will definitely come back. My only complaint would be that the internet is extremely slow and the rooms are not serviced except for trash and towels. We really needed a vacuum cleaner. After four days there was fine sand everywhere — beds, bathroom floor, etc. I don’t mind not having the cabin serviced, especially if it saves money, but I do need some cleaning tools to do it myself. Even just a broom would help.

Just got back from a 3 night stay at the Ocean Village Resort. We’d booked as a group back in April, 4 lower studios, on arrival we were told that we were split and not able to keep all four families together. Very disappointed. Each of us complained at the front desk only to be told that it was tough luck. No apologies, no admitting they’d made an enormous cock-​up and no help fixing the problem. To cut to the chase if you’re wishing to travel here with other families/​friends and want cabins next to one another, don’t bother even requesting it because it won’t happen and management don’t care. Customer service sucks!

This place is incredible.
I’m from the mainland, but from now on when I come out to Tofino, I will be staying here.
Very relaxed atmosphere, great little cabins on the beach, clean indoor hot tub and pool. All at affordable prices!
I honestly can’t say enough good things about ocean village. Check it out!
Stay here.

Ocean Village is a wonderful place to stay in Tofino! The cabins are basically right on the beach and the back of the property is a beautiful forest. The cabins are decorated in a beautiful rustic style and all face the ocean. The beds and couches are comfortable and the kitchenettes have everything one needs to make meals. The coffee they supply is great and the toiletries are fabulous (and locally made) — they also sell the products (Sea Wench Naturals) in the front office. The cabins and grounds are very clean and well taken care of. The pool and hot tub are nice as well. The front desk staff are always very nice and helpful (especially Kim!) and we always receive excellent service and have a wonderful time when we stay here. We recommend Ocean Village to all our friends when they are going to Tofino :)

This is such a nice place!!! You really are just steps from the beach.
When booking this place I wasn’t too sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised! Started with check in. We were a tad early but no problems, our cabin was ready. The checking building is really nice. They have books you can borrow (adults and kids too!) as well as lots of fun board games to keep the kids happy at night.
The cabins are great! We had a lower studio and it was perfect. I’m glad we had the lower one cause the upper studio only has a small deck. It’s nice having the picnic table right outside. I don’t know when they updated the inside but they are in perfect condition and amazingly clean!!! Each kitchen has everything, and I mean everything, you need to make your meals. The coffee they bring in the room is wicked! Wish I could get this in Vancouver!
But it’s really about the beach. All cabins are right on the water. Ours was about 20 steps. The beaches are all sand — just beautiful. I like how they have a wash off station when you come back from the beach — nice touch!
We really loved it here. Wasn’t that expensive and was better than we imagined. We will come back here without giving it a second thought!

We’ve been going to Ocean Village for, well, centuries. That said, a few quibbles coming. And I really hope the folks that run the place will read this:
1. WIFI. Yeah right… They really shouldn’t list this among the amenities: it’s hopeless. The girl at the office described it as flakey when asked. That’s being kind. We actually got further with their neighbor’s WIFI: Crystal Cove.
2. Housekeeping kitchen. Not bad, except the fridge, at least in the upper duplex units. It’s barely a bar fridge, very tiny. Also, some sort of carving knife would be a nice addition to the utensils: it get’s tiresome trying to cut veggies or what have you with a Swiss army knife.
3. Our son came along, and we were expecting the built-​in couch living room with the couches converting to cots on the fly. They’ve updated (at least the upper duplexes) to a fold-​out couch bed. It’s great, except: there goes the living room, it’s kind of totalled for the duration of the visit, unless you’re inclined to fold the whole contraption up every morning.
That’s about it, a short list, to be fair. And as I said at the outset we’ve been coming back for donkey years. But the wifi in particular might be the deal breaker, next time.

Beautiful design, clean, friendly service, indoor pool. Can’t be beat!

I enjoyed the stay at Ocean Village in March 2011. The location is fantastic because you are steps away from the beach. We were staying in the lower studio. If you plan on using the kitchen, you might want to bring your own dish washing sponge. The dish washing sponge that was available in our unit was a bit too dirty. The dish rack was also not very clean so we opted to dry our dishes on the towels provided to us.
This resort is very pet friendly. My dog had a lovely time running on the beach and meeting other dogs. The resort also gives you a dog bowl to use, some milk bones and a doggy bag.
The kitchen could use a fan above the stove and the washroom could use a fan as well.
The WiFi is mostly slow during the evening, probably due to high number of users. In the morning or during the day, the speed was acceptable.
The swimming pool and hot tubs were good. The staff was friendly.
I would come back to this resort if I decide to visit Tofino again.

Great place to stay, nothing fancy, but when in Tofino there is too much outside to worry about the inside of your accommodations. The loft we had was clean and small, but perfect for us. Kitchen unit and patio with ocean view, cant be beat.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The price cant be beat. The only reason I wouldn’t give 5 stars is that is isnt walking distance to any pubs, surfing beaches or hiking trails. However, it is a 5 minute drive to downtown Tofino, so its in a great spot. Good beach out front so it was a great experience.
Although we didnt have any, it did look pet and kid friendly.

Excellent experience at the OVBR. VERY pet friendly; as a matter of fact we had two dog bowls, dog towels and some doggie treats waiting in our cabin and based on the number of dogs we saw around the property I would be surprised if any of the guests at the time didn’t have one with them. Each cabin has it’s own parking spot and there is an indoor pool and hottub for use when it’s raining. The service upfront was really good as well. Cabins have nice clean bathrooms, separate bedrooms, and teeny but fully equipped kitchens as well.
I would definitely recommend OVBR.
Winter price $ 150/​night
Summer price $ 200/​night (around that)
Pet fee $ 20/​night

I *heart* Tofino. The first time we visited, we stayed near its harbour. This time, we opted for one of the resorts along Mackenzie Beach. The Ocean Village Beach Resort is located right on Mackenzie Beach.
We went to sleep listening to the ocean and woke up listening to the ocean — sharp contrast to the sounds we endure living in Yaletown off the Cambie Bridge.
The cabin was comfortable and boasted a beautiful view of Mackenzie Beach.
I was a little disappointed that our porch light had burnt out prior to our check-​in time and no one came to fix it… we were offered another cottage, but it was late and we didn’t want to pack up everything and everyone and move to another cottage. Despite this, we would happily stay at the Ocean Village Beach Resort again! :)

GREAT spot. You can’t get accomodation this close to the beach any cheaper. Cabins are kinda rustic but really clean, staff are helpful, and they allow dogs.
I’m docking one star only because when staying in a studio cabin, I thought that meant we’d get our OWN cabin, not have somebody above us (this is not especially clear on the website). And by somebody, I mean elephants. The sound really travels in there. Next time I’ll definitely bite the bullet and pay a little extra for a one-​bedroom cabin.

Check In: April 17
Cabin: Small
Price: $ 150 Night
First off, Tofino is one of the most beautiful places in the world. This resort is right off the beach. The magnificent sea and sounds of the crashing waves are only steps away.
Being from Vancouver, Tofino is a regular weekend getaway for me. I think this rustic resort is a great deal. People are friendly, cabin is comfortable, and the view speaks for itself. I came with a few friends to surf and hang out in town for dinner and drinks.
The cabin has a small kitchen to arrange snacks and light meals (bigger cabins are available). It has a microwave, toaster, fridge and stove. It was furnished many years ago, and the décor is plain tho maintained very well and very clean. I’m so picky about that stuff. It does the trick! I’m very happy here. The view is spectacular as you can see in my pictures I uploaded, it rained this weekend tho still wonderful. They have a saying here in Tofino… «If you don’t like the weather, wait twenty minutes!» How true :)
It a six minute walk to a place where they have a coffee shop, surf rentals, small grocery store, and amazing taco truck and the best fish and chips and fish tacos I’ve ever had in B.C. There is also laundry, pay phones, and board games to borrow at the resort. There’s lots of grass and picnic tables around as well. You can’t find cheaper on the beach unless your camping or seriously downgrading in quality of cabin. I’d say this place is good for couples, surfers and family. I’m in my late twenties here with a few friends and it’s perfect for what we want.
