Introducing Our New Parksville Hotel – the Perfect Family Getaway

13/08/2020

On Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, you’ll find a unique and very special kind of island life. You might expect the broad sandy beaches and Pacific Ocean saltwater, but there are also expansive mountain vistas, lush forests, and much more. In Parksville, located on the Vancouver Island’s eastern side, you’ll find all these quintessential island enchantments, plus world-renowned tidal sand flats and an irresistible small-town charm.

Coast Hotels recently had the opportunity to become part of the Parksville community and open a new property here, the Coast Parksville Hotel. Combining the best aspects of Vancouver Island culture with a location central to all of its hottest attractions, our Parksville, BC accommodations are ideal for holidays taken as a family, a couple, or even solo travelers.
