Condé Nast Traveler Magazine October 16th, 2008
 |
This morning we received some exciting news…. Long Beach Lodge Resort was listed in the top three resorts in Canada (and #67 worldwide for Hotels, Resorts & Cruises in the "Best of the Best" category) by Conde Nast Traveler Magazine, Readers' Choice Awards. Here are the top three in the Canadian Resort category: 1. King Pacific Lodge, Princess Royal Island |
Considering the first on the list, the King Pacific Lodge, has a base list price at $4,750 for a three night stay, I am very pleased that the readership of the magazine has such high regard for the experience here at Long Beach Lodge Resort. And for those of you who have never been to Tofino, take note that 2 of the top 3 resorts are both in Tofino! A sure sign that Tofino is emerging as the premier destination in Canada!... All I can say, is be one of the first to explore and enjoy this amazing place!
I also want to say congratulations to our neighbours here in Tofino, Charles McDiarmid and his team at the Wickaninnish Inn for their 2nd place position. The "Wick" definitely laid the foundation for Tofino's emergence into the great tourism destination that it is, and in the hospitality business, we couldn't ask for better neighbours and partners in our community!
