The resort is clean and located on a nice spot overlooking the water. There's a pool and a spa, as well as a restaurant on the premises. The golf course is just a short ride down the street and was challenging and well taken care of. The rooms were in the middle of some upgrades during our visit, so although my opinion of the room wasn't great, I'm sure they will be improving very soon. The restaurant was a buffet for breakfast which was better than average, but the dinner was well above average and we really enjoyed the plating, use of seasonal ingredients, and flavors.

Old site with a lot of charm. We stayed only at the hotel and did not play golf. Rooms are a little small but very comfortable. No fridges in the room but premium nespresso machine is a nice touch. Make sure to mention if you have mobility issues before staying there. Our room was in a wing solely accessible by stairs and at the main entrance stairs are the only way to get luggage in. Staff is mostly helpful ( especially at the restaurant who even offered to bring our drinks outside on the terrace) but Bellboy will just look at you getting your luggage. Restaurant on site is very good and worth trying. Pool is heated and fairly sheltered from the wind.
The Pines is fantastic, great food, service and hospitality. They are still renovating and things may be not be 100%, but the staff and management will do everything to make your stay most comfortable. We find that the all go out of their way to keep things happy and pleasurable. Got questions, ask for answers. It will be an amazing place when Reno's are done and completed. Highly recommended for family stay vaca, meetings, golfing weekends and more.
Pro: Great location, view of the ocean from the lounge, board games in the lounge, the service in the dining space was fantastic.
Con: Charged twice on my credit card for the whole stay (resolved, but unfortunate), no map of the grounds for guests to explore.
Overall, I would definitely recommend Digby Pines to a friend but I think there are areas for improvement at the resort.
The hotel harkens from another era. It's full of charm, and the grounds are pleasant. My room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. The furnishings were just a tad worn but still in decent enough shape that I wouldn't say it's a negative. What takes this hotel over the top is the dining and the staff. We were Wow'd by the kindness and hospitality we were shown. I'd return in a heartbeat.
We attended a wedding here. Beautiful venue and well organized. The cake decorator needed a refrigerator due to the outside temperature melting icing, and the hotel quickly helped and provided a fridge. Dinner service was amazing. Highly recommend, it's expensive but the food and presentation meets the price point. I had surf and turf, $53. Photo attached.
Cons: I asked for the steak to be rare, it was medium-well. $53 dollar plate I expect this detail to be precise. Ordered a mojeto. The mojeto was made with a mixed flavored simple syrup, instead of muddling Mint, sugar and lime juice together. I was really hoping it would be made correctly instead of with simple syrup. A shortcut expected in a night club, not in a restaurant to this standard. This would of been a 5 star review if the steak came as ordered. Everything else was spot on.
First class facilities despite the ongoing upgrades!
The cabins are dated but clean,neat and tidy.
The dining room was superb!
Keep it up!!
Myself and three others were so happy with the first year, we said 2022 we will return.
This was the second year to stay at Digby Pines and enjoy the golf package which included the cottage facilities.
The front desk staff were friendly, and accomadating and made us feel we were welcomed .
The restaurant, what a group of polite young waiters and waitresess.
Highly knowledgable of the food provided and then again very personable of themselves when asked their school background. Would like to say we have a great group of young men and women studying to better thremselves in this Province. Further to say whomever interviewed these young men and women knew what they were doing because all was checked, manners, personality, neatness all did apply for the persons we had the opportunity to meet and speak with these past two years.
The food, the preparedness. (Excellent)
The taste, great.
You golf, then you are shuttled over to the course and shuttled back.
Can't beat that.
The cottage (wow) Fireplace... bedrooms, livingroom. So comfortable and step outside, you have a view of the ocean and boats going by as you sit on the deck outside the cottage.
So, hopefully who reads this, will give it a try.
By the way, our small group are booking again for 2023..
Thanks and have a great day.
