Each suite comes with a full kitchen, free Wi-Fi, and in select rooms, sweeping ocean views. Whether you're here for a show or just the seaside serenity, Buena Vista is an ideal mix of comfort and convenience.

Why Concert-goers love it

While it’s not in the heart of a major city, Buena Vista by the Sea is a great option for concert-goers heading to venues in the Qualicum Beach or Parksville area. After the show, come back to a quiet, restful environment—perfect for winding down. With free parking and easy highway access, getting to and from events is simple. Plus, the 3:00 PM check-in and 11:00 AM check-out offer just enough flexibility for a weekend gig.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends looking to share a suite with a kitchen and ocean views
• Solo travelers seeking a peaceful retreat after a show
• Couples planning a romantic music-filled weekend

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, each room’s full kitchen makes it easy to prep a quick bite after a late night. The beachfront BBQ area is a great touch for group meals, and there are local cafés and eateries just a short drive away. Want breakfast after sleeping in? Several nearby spots offer brunch options into the afternoon.

Nightlife Options

This hotel is more about relaxation than revelry. There’s no on-site bar or live music, but you’re within easy reach of local pubs, breweries, and beachside lounges in Qualicum and Parksville. It’s a great base if you want to party at the venue and then escape the crowd.

What People Say

Guests love the peaceful atmosphere, spotless suites, and ocean views. Many reviews highlight the friendly staff and excellent location for exploring nearby beaches and parks. The full kitchen is a hit with longer-stay travelers, and the private patios are perfect for a morning coffee or post-show nightcap.

Areas for Improvement

Some concert-goers may prefer a hotel closer to downtown nightlife or with on-site dining. Also, no daily housekeeping might be a miss if you're staying multiple nights. But for most, the trade-off is well worth the serenity.
