Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant open late, many units offer kitchen facilities to prep your own post-concert snacks. A short drive brings you to local eateries in Parksville, several of which stay open late. There’s no 24/7 room service, but you can plan ahead thanks to the in-room kitchenettes. Breakfast options are available nearby for slow, late-start mornings.

Nightlife Options

Though the resort itself is more about tranquility than nightlife, you’re only minutes from Parksville’s low-key bars and lounges. Nanaimo, just 30 minutes away, offers a wider nightlife scene with pubs, craft beer spots, and occasional live music venues.

What People Say

Guests love the peaceful setting, clean rooms, and the chance to unwind in nature. Reviews frequently mention the spacious suites and the convenience of having a kitchen. The friendly staff and great value for money also earn high marks, especially for longer stays.

Areas for Improvement

While the location is beautiful, those without a car may find it a bit remote. Limited dining options on-site mean you'll likely need to venture out for meals. The early 8:30 AM checkout can feel a bit rushed after a late night out.

The Bottom Line

Pacific Shores Resort & Spa is ideal for concert-goers wanting a peaceful, affordable, and amenity-rich stay near Parksville and Nanaimo music venues.
