My stay at the Alpine-Pacific holiday park was wonderful overall! We enjoyed the cleanliness and comfort of our room, and the water pressure in the shower was fantastic. Elise, a team member, was a standout with her warm and friendly demeanor, which made our experience even better. However, the distance to the bathroom can be inconvenient, especially at night, which was a downside. Despite this, the overall vibe of the place, including the pet-friendly environment and beautiful nearby hiking trails, made it a great choice for our family.

My stay at the holiday park was a mix of good and bad experiences. The campsite was clean, and the area was peaceful, with stunning views of snow-capped mountains. However, the management was unhelpful regarding booking issues, and the proximity of tents made parking challenging. Overall, it has a beautiful setting but lacked proper customer service and space.

We had a fantastic stay at the park hotel, using it as a base for whale watching and exploring the area. The rooms were spotless and offered stunning views of the mountains. We enjoyed swimming in the pool and relaxing in the hot tub, which were clean and well-maintained. Although our overall experience was excellent, we faced a slight inconvenience due to limited dining options in the area. Overall, it was a great value for a tourist hotspot.

I had a decent stay at the hotel with some positives and negatives. The location is beautiful, and the accommodations are clean and comfortable.

I had a great stay at this campground! The beds were comfy, the location was peaceful, and the facilities were definitely a highlight. However, my recent experience with staff left me a bit disappointed, which overshadowed an otherwise nice visit. The amenities were great, but the interaction with one staff member was not ideal.
