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.

Very relaxing.Good for the soul...

Liked: The hotel is all fresh and newly decorated. It’s very bright and clean with nice white furniture in the bedrooms. There are stunning works of art all around every room. The staff are lovely and the waiting on staff in the dining room are very attentive. The dining room is extremely popular and always busy. Advise to book. Sometimes have someone playing the grand piano. Beautifully cooked food with views to die for. Fallen in love with the view and the ever changing tide and light on the sandbanks. Really sorry to leave this place. It’s magical.
Disliked: It was perfect!

Good

Liked: The location is great and the hotel is very clean and comfortable.
Disliked: we booked a "balcony view room" and we assumed this would be of the ocean, but it was in fact on the parking lot side and our "view" was of the roof and air conditioner. be careful to be sure that you book and "ocean view" and not "balcony view room".
