The Spotlight on Sunrise Ridge Waterfront Resort

Coastal Comfort Just Minutes From the Music

Modern and relaxing, Sunrise Ridge Waterfront Resort offers a peaceful seaside retreat in Parksville, just a short drive from Nanaimo's concert venues. Nestled near the shoreline and surrounded by natural beauty, the resort blends west coast charm with practical amenities like free Wi-Fi, a seasonal outdoor pool, and on-site fitness facilities. Whether you're in town for a show or a weekend getaway, this resort gives you space to unwind.

Rooms are well-equipped, with private bathrooms, coffee makers, and some even offering full kitchens — ideal for longer stays or group trips. The resort also features a hot tub, bike rentals, and a terrace perfect for unwinding after a big night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

With Nanaimo's major music venues only 30–40 minutes away, Sunrise Ridge makes a great base for fans who prefer to be close — but not in the thick of it. After the show, escape the crowds and return to quiet surroundings for a restful night. The 24-hour front desk makes late arrivals easy, and free private parking ensures no hunting for a spot after a late concert. It’s a smart pick for those prioritizing tranquility after high-energy shows.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends on a road trip or festival weekend
  • Solo travelers seeing a big-name artist
  • Couples combining music with a romantic oceanfront stay
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space
  • Budget-conscious music fans who prefer value and nature

Food and Drink Options

While the resort doesn’t have a full-service restaurant, its in-room kitchens and coffee facilities let you prep your own late-night bites. Plus, Parksville’s local eateries and cafés are just a short walk or drive away. There’s no 24/7 room service, but options for breakfast the next morning are easy to find nearby — perfect for sleeping in after a late night.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find live music on-site, but the resort’s peaceful vibe and shared lounge make for a great wind-down spot. For those looking to keep the night going, local pubs and beachside lounges are accessible by car or bike. Nanaimo nightlife is close enough for an adventure, but far enough to leave behind when it's time to relax.

What People Say

Guests rave about the peaceful location, clean rooms, and friendly staff. Many highlight the proximity to the beach and the convenience of in-room amenities for longer stays. The hot tub and pool are also popular for post-hike or post-show relaxation.

Areas for Improvement

Check-out time at 10:00 am can feel a bit early after a late night, so be sure to plan ahead. Also, while the resort is beautiful and quiet, fans attending shows in Nanaimo should be ready for a bit of a drive back after the music ends.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a peaceful, coastal base with easy concert access and room to relax, Sunrise Ridge Waterfront Resort strikes the right chord.

Lovely resort

Liked: Nice big space, decent kitchenette with sink and dishes, floor to ceiling blackout curtains for nice dark room to sleep in, interesting room configuration creating a quieter room - no noise from the hallway. Easy walking distance to ocean and nearby restaurant.
Disliked: No easy beach access

Great location and good value...

Liked: Site is quite well maintained, well laid out, easy parking and access to accommodation. The room was well appointed, comfortable bed, nice kitchenette.
Disliked: The access to the beach was not possible; the access trail leading to the beach ended at a drop-off. The room had only one chair, a small bistro table and a couple of small chairs would be better.

Passable

Liked: Located along Resort Drive with access to Rathtrevor Beach was definitely the highlight. Had a nice evening walk on the beach though the final step down to the beach is a bit treacherous. We were only there one rainy night in March so didn't use the pool or hot tub, but they looked nice and clean. Staff were pleasant and apologetic in dealing with our delay. Bathroom was large and had a nice shower.
Disliked: 4pm is already a late check-in time relative to other properties and when we arrived the room was not ready. The wait was only 20 minutes. Still when there for a one night stay and after a day of travelling, a delay we'd have appreciated not having. The room was clean, but seemed to be showing the wear in places. Also, it wasn't clear when booking that this room shared an entrance with another room and had all its windows along a balcony walkway. This made it quite noisy with other guests passing outside and the neighbouring room had a dog that barked quite a bit. Room was an okay size but had no seating aside from the bed, not even a chair. None of the pictures on the site matched the type of room we stayed in.

Very good

Liked: The location is good. I thought the servicing to the room. ie providing fresh towels, coffee, teas could have been more consistent. I also found that taking out the garbage &// or wet towels was my own responsibility. Otherwise all good.
