My boyfriend and I went to Fossil Bay Resort in 2012 for the first time, and we are currently planning a trip back there in the next week (March 2013). The private deck with the hot tub was my favorite part, not to mention the beautiful view. Tip: Wear slippers when entering from the deck: if your feet are wet... More

Recently spent one night with my sweetie at this amazingly private resort and it felt like we were away for a week! The room was spotless, warm and comfortable and the views spectacular, even on a rainy day. Loved the full size hot tub, wood burning fireplace and the well appointed kitchen. Next time we will bring our robes and... More

We have visited several times for the beauty, serenity, hot tub and privacy. For the price, a bit heavy for our budget, it would be nice to be able to open the sliding door without the help of a 220 lb friend. And if you want to lock the sliding door be prepared to donate some skin! Cabins are spotless... More

Recommended for couples who want a quiet, peaceful and private place with all the comforts of home. Wonderful views from the patio and hot tub, and the overhanging roof means you can stay dry no matter what the weather. Bring your own robes, and slippers recommended as the floors are cooler tile. We will return!

The beauty of the cottages at Fossil Bay resort is the complete privacy for the most wonderful romantic weekend one could want. King size bed, fireplace, ocean view from every window, private patio with hot tub...it is amazing! There are only 6 cottages at this little resort and it is a fair ways up the road from Sooke so pack... More

Just returned from 5 nights at Fossil Bay Resort. We have been to this area many times, but this was our first visit to this resort. The cottages were lovely--immaculately clean and contained all the conveniences we needed. Absolute and total privacy--it was bliss! Gorgeous views from the hot tub.... Best of all--they have a couple of cottages that take... More

After 10 years (or more) of staying here I still think it is the best place I've ever stayed. Where else do you get a king size bed, full kitchen, fireplace, full size hot tub that is on a cliff over the ocean and absolute privacy. What more could you want? Also Maria, (the owner) is about one of the... More

Fossil Bay Resort is a great place to stay on Vancouver Island's west coast. It is a quiet beautiful part of the coast if one doesn't want the tourist crush of Torfino. The house keeping cabins are very attractive and comfortable, with a gorgeous view of the bay and complete privacy on the porch (that includes a hot tub). Great... More
