Fodor's Expert Review Pacific Sands Beach Resort

On 45 acres of lawn and forest along Cox Bay, Tofino's only all-suite resort underwent a $10-million expansion in 2018 and offers a range of lodge rooms, waterfront suites, and beach villas, all with full kitchens, fireplaces, and private ocean-view decks or patios just steps from the beach, plus the four-bedroom Sunset House at Rosie Bay. The bay is a magnet for surfers (though it's not safe for swimming), and the adjacent forest is a nature lover's paradise. On-site dining is available at Surfside Grill and provisions can be found at the Gourmet Pantry. There's the obligatory rain gear for storm-watching and walking, plus bike rentals and, unique in Tofino, a range of kids' programs in summer. The front-desk staff will help organize eco-adventure outings.
