A Look At Queens Charlotte Islands Accommodations

By Minnie Whitley


An extended vacation is something to look forward to with great anticipation. Many people only get the opportunity to enjoy trips out of country as a tourist once in their lives. For this reason they plan well ahead of time where they will travel to, how they get there, what they will do once there and where they should stay while enjoying their stay. The Queens Charlotte Islands accommodations make it a destination of choice for thousands of tourists every year.

Located on the Western coast of British Columbia this group of over one hundred thirty islands offers a multitude of different types of housing for visitors. The choices can range from camping at a free camp site to renting a vacation residence for a monthly rate determined by the home owner. The larger the city or village the more choices you will have when deciding where to stay.

Hotels and motels are found in the largest cities in this area. Pictures of the hotels and their rooms can be viewed online when searching the internet. Some sites provide a virtual tour of the premises showing the dining rooms, shopping areas, pools and beaches. The rooms provide free access to the internet and satellite television. You may also find housekeeping units available in motels found in the city.

Hotels normally offer concierge service for their guests that will assist with their daily needs. This service can help by advising you of interesting landmarks around the city or with booking a tour or chartering a boat for the day. If you cannot find what you are looking for in their gift shop they will happily direct you to a shopping area where you will have a wider selection to choose from.

Among the smaller villages you will find bed and breakfast inns. These inns provide you with a room for the night and breakfast each the morning before you go out. They are also a gold mine of information regarding services and attractions in the immediate area. They can refer you to people they know who will act as guides for sightseeing, hiking or fishing at very reasonable rates.

There are many locations where you can rent cottages or small cabins if you prefer more privacy. They are furnished with full kitchens and heated by wood burning fireplaces or stoves in the common areas. The cottages are more secluded and can offer a more intimate atmosphere for guests.

For those who travel light there is one hostel available and camping is allowed in designated areas. There are more than enough nature trails that can be explored by anyone who is camping or visiting for a day. You will find guides available for anyone who chooses to use them for their exploration of the wild lands. There are also historic sites that can be visited while you are there.

The businesses and inhabitants of this area have a very accommodating attitude regarding visitors to their villages and towns. Accommodations means so much more than a room to sleep in and they are more than willing to go out of their way to assist those who have chosen to spend their vacation with them. This attitude of helpfulness may be the one defining attribute that brings so many people back year after year to spend their vacations here.
