Apr 27, 2009

Find the best Sunshine Coast accommodation in BC. From luxury hotels to family-run B&Bs, holiday travel in Western Canada is perfect for families and couples.

Sunshine Coast accommodation in BC is varied for holiday travel. Families can choose pet-friendly bed and breakfasts, while couples can cozy up in romantic luxury resorts. The Western Canadian coast displays a dazzling array of hotels and accommodations that run the gamut from family-run to luxury hotels.

Pet Friendly B&B

Some travellers prefer an option where their small animals can come along for the trip. On the Sunshine Coast, there is a family-run bed and breakfast that caters specifically to pet owners.

At Marian's on the Coast, the concept of a pet friendly B&B is taken seriously. They treat dogs with pampering services - a dog bed, homemade treats, pre-arranged dog sitting, and even a "dog spa"-

Luxury Resort

For the ultimate in luxury, slip into the exceptional Rockwater Secret Cove Resort. A mixture of remote accommodation and indulgent tent house camping, romantics find it easy to fall in love.

Although resort rooms are available in the main lodge, it's worth it to spend the extra money and book a treetop "tenthouse suite." Termed "glamping," Rockwater Secret Cove Resort has given camping a stylish kick in the butt.

"Tents" are complete suites with heated slate floors, hydrotherapy tubs, fireplaces, king size beds and views from private patios overlooking the Pacific Ocean. They're shaped like tents but don't come with the hassle of pitching them or having to watch out for bears. Each tent is connected by a wooden boardwalk and all are perched comfortable within a forest of elegant Arbutus trees.

Luxury Hotel

Keeping with the upscale theme, Painted Boat Resort (12849 Lagoon Road, Madeira Park, BC 1-866-902-3955 / 604-883-2456) is a home-away-from-home disguised as a hotel. Owners keep their waterfront villas in tip top condition for travellers to feel like they're at home.

More like condos than a hotel room, the suites come in two-bedroom, two-bedroom lofts and two-bedrooms with den and a loft combinations. A fabulous on-site restaurant dishes up delicious local seafood specialties, while the large spa offers a full menu of treatments along with a garden, sauna cave, outdoor glacial rain shower, multi-jet hot pool and a salt water flotation pool.
