The Spotlight on Bayside Resort Ascend Hotel Collection

Beachfront Comfort Just Steps from Live Music

Modern and relaxed, Bayside Resort Ascend Hotel Collection offers a scenic escape right on Parksville Beach. With a blend of coastal charm and practical amenities, it’s a solid 3-star pick for travelers looking to pair their concert nights with a stay that’s both comfortable and well-located. The hotel features both indoor and seasonal outdoor pools, a fitness center, and ocean views that are hard to beat.

Why Concert-goers love it

After a night of live music, guests appreciate the quiet, beachside atmosphere that offers a welcome break from the noise. The hotel’s 24-hour reception is helpful for late arrivals, and with Parksville’s music and cultural venues a short drive away, you’re never far from the action. Free Wi-Fi and spacious rooms with desks and fridges make it easy to regroup post-show or plan your next outing.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends – Roomy layouts and nearby bars make it easy to stay together and unwind.
  • Solo travelers – Safe, quiet, and relaxing for those checking off a bucket-list concert.
  • Couples – Beachfront views and on-site dining set the mood for a romantic weekend.
  • Fans needing recovery time – Peaceful surroundings and beach walks help you recharge.
  • Budget-conscious fans – Great value for its location and amenities.

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s on-site restaurant serves up fresh seafood cuisine with vegetarian, vegan, and dairy-free options available. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the on-site bar and nearby eateries keep you covered well into the evening. Breakfast is available, ideal after a late night out.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re close to local venues and laid-back bars in Parksville. After the show, keep the vibe going with a drink at the hotel bar or explore nearby lounges for a nightcap. The quiet location also means a restful sleep once you're ready to call it a night.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s stunning ocean views, friendly staff, and clean, cozy rooms. Many mention how relaxing the beachfront setting is after a high-energy concert. The pools and fitness center add to the value, especially for travelers looking to mix leisure with entertainment.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that the décor could use a modern refresh, and the seasonal outdoor pool means summer travelers get the best of the amenities. A few reviews mention slower service during peak times, but most find the staff helpful and accommodating.

The Bottom Line

Bayside Resort Ascend Hotel Collection offers a peaceful, beachfront base with all the essentials concert-goers need—comfort, convenience, and a chill vibe after the show.

Liked: Amazing food in the restaurant!!All of our dinners were so good.Great breakfast and a great value. Fantastic location!Outdoor pool with loungers.And rooms facing the ocean view.Amazing views!!!!
Disliked: My air conditioner (105) when sitting out on the deck sounded like a jet engine warming up. It was loud. Little loud in the room, as well.Building is older so the walls and floors are thin and creaky. A family of 4 with their 2 dogs woke us up when they went into their room above us, at 10:40 pm .. Hall way smelt musty... .Balconies were sloped and a big dip in 105.

A lovely location right on...

Liked: Our room with a view over the water was very nice. Beds and bedding were very comfortable. Breakfast was very good, and the view over the water from our table was beautiful. The art displays were an added bonus.
Disliked: The lighting in our room as well as throughout the resort is an issue for me. I have problems with ultra white LED lighting, and my doctors have assured me that I am not alone. For me, soft white lighting is much preferred (and a more welcoming ambience).
