The Wickaninnish Inn

So enjoyed the extraordinary beauty of Tofino and the magic of the Wick. The views are breathtaking! From Vancouver you must either take a seaplane or a ferry, then drive three hours through the forests. The Wick is lovely but I did have a few suggestions, which is in part why I gave it a 4. First, it’s not for everyone as it is rustic and the food is limited and good, but not varied or incredible. We also had an odd and very unsettling event. If you’re familiar with Fawlty Towers, it was something that would’ve been comical, if it didn’t happen to us! We were celebrating a special birthday and reserved a table near the sea for dinner. When we arrived to eat, the very peculiar maître d stopped us and said “ Do I detect a scent????” (Jo Malone and Hermes would be appalled as we lightly spritzed after we showered!) He then told us we’d have to sit elsewhere as they “had a scent sensitive couple sitting near where we were to sit.” Why wouldn’t that couple sit away from others if scent is an issue. Truly, if scent is such an issue one can’t go anywhere in public! It was insulting and disrespectful and we were seated in the back. Service overall was good but not outstanding. But, besides this mishap, and it being the running joke of the trip, overall we enjoyed the stay mostly because of the beauty of the nature surrounding us. If you’re seeking elegance, top notch respectful service and magnificent ocean views, the Post Ranch checks all those boxes.

An amazing hotel in a breathtakingly beautiful location. Very comfortable rooms with all amenities. We saw eagles and whales from the hotel and restaurant. This hotel is now one of our favourite

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The staff were superb. I had a one-on-one with a tree stump and everyone involved were so caring and generous, from the Receptionist, Gaz the First Aider, the Events Manager (who took me to Tofino ER) and the Director of Operations ( who collected me). I would like to thank them all. The food was delicious, the scenery impressive. I cannot recommend this place enough.

We are currently staying in a Premier room in the Pointe building of the hotel and the view from the room is world class. The bedrooms are lovely but expensive, we left the door open overnight to hear the sound of the waves. Service in the hotel is good if a little formal. We ate in the Pointe restaurant the set menu which was good. Only a few small things would improve the room such as a/c , you can only heat the room and the sun comes in the afternoon its very warm through all of the windows. There are a lot of window blinds but only the bathroom is electric. Overall a great place with one of the best views of any hotel in the world but its very expensive.

Just finished our 4th trip to the Wick, one of our favorite resorts to visit anywhere. The staff under Charles is outstanding including Clayton and the restaurant manager along with our favorite wait person Loretta. Vanessa set up special arrangements for whale watching. The Wick is a very special place for us. We will return as often as possible.
