Fodor's Expert Review Poets Cove Resort & Spa
9801 Spalding Rd., Pender Island, British Columbia, V0N 2M3, Canada Fodor's Choice
One of the Gulf Islands' most well-appointed developments fills a secluded cove on South Pender. A nautical-theme lodge and a scattering of two- and three-bedroom cottages overlook a 110-slip marina and a forest-framed cove. All units have fireplaces, heated bathroom floors, and decks or balconies with stunning ocean views; most cottages have private ocean-view hot tubs. The Aurora Restaurant serves Pacific Northwest fare, and the lounge offers high-end pub meals. A waterfall tumbles over a steam grotto outside the lavish Susurrus Spa. Activities include whale-watching, vineyard tours, yoga classes, and kayak tours.
