CALGARY, AB (October 1, 2012) – Bellstar Hotels & Resorts is excited to announce that The Beach Club Resort in Parksville, British Columbia will become part of the Bellstar family of resorts on January 1st, 2013. The Owners’ Association selected Bellstar to take on the management of the resort, following the successful development, opening in 2008, and operations by the Pacific Beach Group. The Beach Club Resort will be one of Bellstar’s flagship properties amongst their portfolio of hotels, resorts and private homes in British Columbia and Alberta.

The Beach Club Resort is one of a few highly-rated full-service luxury resorts on Vancouver Island. A short drive from the Nanaimo Ferry Terminal and the Comox Valley Airport for easy access from Vancouver, the Lower Mainland, Edmonton and Calgary, the resort is situated right on the Parksville Beach Boardwalk. With unmatched vistas of the ocean, The Beach Club Resort brings a great new destination to the Bellstar family offering resort experiences in some of Western Canada’s most sought after destinations.

“The Beach Club Resort is an excellent addition to the Bellstar family of resorts in BC. It’s another great destination for our guests to enjoy luxurious oceanfront accommodation on one of Canada’s finest beaches,” says Ed Romanowski, CEO of Bellstar Group. “The Beach Club Resort will benefit from increased exposure to wider markets, along with the implementation of Bellstar’s acclaimed reservations, marketing and management systems," says Ralf Strub, President & COO of Bellstar Hotels & Resorts.

Luxurious and well-appointed guest rooms at The Beach Club Resort have private balconies, spectacular ocean and mountain views, thoughtful amenities and feature elegant West Coast décor. Resort amenities include Pacific Prime Steak & Chop Restaurant with an expansive beachfront patio, seaside pool and hot tub, fitness centre, and meeting & event facilities.

“The Board assessed several options and after thorough consideration chose Bellstar as its management company because of its fit with the needs and future of The Beach Club Resort,” said Ron Legere, President of the Owners Association. “In line with all Bellstar properties, an exceptional guest experience is our highest mandate and our guests can expect the high quality of their resort experiences to be maintained,” added Shawna Broekhuizen, General Manager at the resort.
