Black Bear Resort

Vancouver Island


More a superior motel than a resort, this hillside spot overlooks the town and is conveniently located across from the town's shops and restaurants. Standard rooms are small but clean and include microwaves and refrigerators; full-kitchen units are also available, as are a string of roadside cabins. Big bonus: there's an indoor pool, small gym and sauna.

Complimentary breakfasts are modest motel-style meals.
