Mineral Springs Resort - Salt Spring Island, British Columbia

J'ai adorer cet endroit si paisible c'était abordable vu le privé du chalet et la tranquillité de l'endroit. Il y a tout ce qu'il vous faut à l'intérieur. Par contre , au niveau de la décoration, c'est trop sobre. En fait il n'y en a pas. J'ajouterai des plantes et décorations pour ajouter un effet "spa" puisque l'endroit se califie de "spa".L'ambiance spa n'y est pas au rendez-vous malheureusement.

This was our 4th year going to Mineral Springs Resort for our summer vacation. We found paradise when we found this place! Melissa is a gem! She almost (she does have a great part-time helper) singlehandedly cleans and prepares units, greets vacationers, and takes care of the overall property as well--all while being accessible for any needs or questions. ||The view is priceless and the surrounding beauty (St. Mary Lake, etc.) complete the package. We come here in the summer and then again each winter. It is our peaceful, beautiful retreat and we are grateful to have found it. Thanks, Melissa, for another special stay at Mineral Springs Resort!

The view is amazing! There were 3 of us in the 2 bedroom. The layout is great, and the amenities are nice. The overall stay was fun! The resort needs some updating. There were rotten boards on the deck but we still were able to sit out there and eat. Having a barbecue grill was a game changer. We used it a couple of times a day. Even with the resort needing upgrades, I would still stay here again. The staff was kind and helpful!

This was our 4th year coming coming to Mineral Springs Resort for our summer vacation. We found paradise when we found this place. Melissa is a gem! She almost singlehandedly cleans and prepares the units (Thanks, Patti, for your help cleaning and friendly assistance as well!), greets vacationers, and manages the entire grounds as well. Even though Melissa is busy managing this property, she is always available with answers to any questions or to help with any issues we have. She is a friendly face and we look forward to seeing her and Patti each time we visit.

We go to Mineral Springs twice a year (summer and winter) because it is such a different experience depending on the season--it is always perfection for us. It is romantic and so peaceful and beautiful. The surrounding locations, such as St. Mary Lake, really complete the package.

This is a 2-star resort, so if you are looking for a 4- to 5- star experience, you may need to adjust your expectations. To us, it is the absolute beauty and peace that make our stay such a perfect experience for us. We look forward to each trip! Thanks, Melissa, for another wonderful time at Mineral Springs Resort!

First let me say that Melissa who does the day to day operations is wonderful. Quick to respond to our many questions and was able to problem solve when there was an issue with the design of one of the units (bedrooms on 2nd floor and bathroom on 1st floor for someone with mobility issues). The views are stunning and we had such a good time because we were able to accommodate the whole family and other members of the wedding party in one place. However the units are all in need of repair and some upgrading. The deck and step up to the 3 bedroom unit are borderline unsafe. It is clear that the ownership group has allowed the units to fall into disrepair and are not investing the necessary money to keep the buildings in good condition. From a visual it appears that one of the 10 units is unrentable because of the condition. The pots and pans are old and well used and the interior furniture very worn. The lay out of the 3 bedroom is ok for families but you have to walk thru one bedroom to get to the other rooms so not private. Also the one bedroom units were very hot and had poor air circulation. Having said this the beds were comfortable enough and the bath robes were a hit.

Our stay was awesome! Thank you Melissa!!! Melissa has the best customer service skills. She also did her best to accommodate our request. The cabin was super clean and it had everything we needed. We will definitely come back🌺

We had a cabin for two. The place is run down and while the local folks are trying their best to keep it up the owners are not. The kitchen linens had stains, holes and were more like rags. The furniture was worn out. The deck, chairs and table were heavily weathered. The stove top is over 30 years old as is the jet tub.
The charred remains of a larger building is an eyesore. Note that a road separates you from the rocky beach but the stairs down are broken and it unsafe to use them.
While it’s clearly a has-been place the place was clean and quiet.
Do your research so you won’t be disappointed as I fear the office manager must get a lot of complaints lately.

This resort is spectacular. Our cabin over looked the ocean. It was cozy for 7 of us. We loved the setting and felt like we were staying in the woods. We loved the kitchen, which was so useful in preparing all our meals, the fireplace added to the ambience of the rustic cabin. I loved having baths in the tub. It was a singles weekend of friends who are more like family. Only drawback was that everyone didn't get a proper bed but otherwise we loved our visit to the resort. We're planning on coming as a bigger group and hope that 2 cabins are available for us! Incredible place that felt like home! The manager was so helpful and responded to our questions and requests promptly! She was super friendly and made us feel os welcomed. We'll be back!
