Located on the rugged west coast of Canada in a peaceful spot on Quadra Island, April Point Resort is the perfect getaway. You can experience tranquility surrounded by pine forests and the teal waters of Gowlland Harbour.
Most of the rooms have ocean views and an outdoor patio. The oceanfront location is the perfect spot for lovers of wildlife; you will often be able to spot whales, curious harbor seals and other marine wildlife. You might spot bald eagles swooping from above and heron fishing below.
There are a number of activities on offer at the hotel that make the most of the surroundings, including guiding salmon fishing and grizzly bear tours. To explore further, kayak and bike rentals are available as well as more relaxing treatments in the spa.
OUR OPINION:
April Point makes an attractive alternative to Campbell River properties if you are staying for more than one night, but you will need to build in a little extra traveling time for getting to and from the resort either via the ferry or the shuttle boat.

Rooms
The rooms are simply decorated with floral fabrics and lots of pine, providing a clean and comfortable base from which to explore. Most are set in one- and two-story wooden-slatted cabins which blend in with the surrounding landscape.
Most rooms have views of the ocean but we particularly like the Harbourview rooms which have a view across Gowlland Harbour. The oceanview rooms have dramatic views of Discovery Passage and the surrounding Coastal Mountains.
