“Tigh-Na-Mara succeeds as Parksville's largest resort, but the main draw, in my opinion, is the Grotto Spa. Its proximity to Rathtrevor Beach and other natural attractions make it an ideal location for exploring Vancouver Island. However, I think the resort shines when its seasonal recreational programs engage every generation.”
