The Wickaninnish Inn

We recently stayed at the Wickaninnish Inn to celebrate my retirement, and it turned out to be one of those rare experiences that is difficult to fully put into words. The setting is extraordinary, but what stood out most was the care and thoughtfulness throughout our stay. From the moment we arrived, everything felt easy and well considered. There is a quiet attentiveness here that never feels intrusive, just consistently present. Our room was beautifully done and very comfortable. It struck a nice balance between being thoughtfully designed and easy to settle into, with nothing feeling overdone. The space felt calm and well considered, and it was clear that a lot of care goes into how the rooms are prepared. One of the most meaningful moments was meeting George, the carver, and learning about the history behind the beams and doors throughout the Inn. It added a depth and sense of place that made the experience feel even more unique. Dinner at The Pointe was exceptional, both in the quality of the food and the thoughtful touches that made the evening feel personal and memorable. We arrived having gone through a somewhat stressful period, and this stay felt like pressing a reset button. We left feeling restored, which is exactly what we needed. A truly memorable place, and one we will return to.

I rarely post reviews, but the experience at The Point Restaurant left me feeling I had no choice — others need to know. The Wickaninnish Inn itself is beautiful — stunning views, lovely hotel, and the service at The Point Restaurant was genuinely excellent. Our server was attentive and professional all evening. I want to be clear about that. But the food? That is another story entirely. Nearly $400 — and let me be specific about what that got us. Two mains. No appetizers. Just two 5oz glasses of Burrowing Owl wine. That's it. For that money, the food should have been extraordinary. It was not. Both meals arrived cold, and the flavours simply were not there. I ordered the sablefish, my wife had the surf and turf. Neither was worth a fraction of what we paid. This was actually our second visit to The Point. After our first disappointing meal we gave them the benefit of the doubt — everyone has an off night. This trip has removed all doubt. The food is just not good, and no amount of beautiful surroundings changes that.

The Wickaninnish Inn is an absolute gem of an establishment. From the moment you arrive, you are treated to a first class experience in hospitality excellence. Kudos to the staff for their excellent work and the rooms and amenities were top notch. Will definitely come back❤️

An incredible location topped only by excellent customer service.

Since we were there for our son’s first birthday, it meant a lot that the front desk and room service teams put so much thought into making the day special. Their warmth and attention made the celebration feel personal and memorable. Any small suggestions I’ve shared are just that—small—because the way your staff cared for our family truly stood out.
