We had an unfortunate experience we had on Sunday, October 20th, 2024. My family of six, who frequently travel together, decided to stop by Dalvay for lunch based on a recommendation. Upon entering the lobby, we were greeted by a young gentleman who seemed unfriendly and immediately questioned our presence at the hotel. When we asked to see the menu, he first told us there were only sandwiches, and then informed us there was no food available at all. I've actually never experienced anything like this, and it was quite shocking. It was all unfortunate and disappointing.

We spent a couple nights a Dalvay By The Sea in early October. We were warmly welcomed by the front desk clerk who also showed us to our room. The room was adequate keeping in mind it was a historic structure. We enjoyed sitting in the library in front of the fireplace (the fire was tended regularly and added wonderful warmth and ambiance to the room!) playing cards after a day of exploring and enjoying PEI. We were there during a quiet period towards the end of the season. The staff, especially the dining room staff (Cassidy and Ella?) took their time to chat and visit with guests- in a sincere and welcoming manner. Cudos ladies and good luck in your careers in medicine!!! We highly recommend the Dalvay as a base for your PEI adventures!!

This is a historic property on Parks Canada land. The rooms are not furnished with to, coffee/tea making facilities but that’s not why you stay. The building is well preserved and it’s furnished appropriately. Makes you feel you have stepped back in time. The area is amazing, beautiful beaches within walking distance of the main house. The food in the restaurant was gorgeous especially in the best seats in the house😁 although all seats have a view. A bit pricey but to be expected and not extortionate

Dalvay by the sea was an extremely disappointing start to our first trip to beautiful PEI . Outside views are very deceiving . Not recommended until the place undergoes a complete renovation . Rooms are tired , questionable cleanliness , furnishing looks like it’s from thrift store , or roadside giveaways . Even antiques furnishings & rooms can be beautifully restored .

We had stayed at the Inn 25 years ago and I must say that it has not lost any of its wonderful charm. The rooms are exceptional and very comfortable but I would caution anyone with physical limitations to secure a room on the first floor or second as there is no elevator. The restaurant lived up to its reputation regarding quality and originality of the menu. If you like Baked Alaska be sure and reserve one with your reservation as they tend to run out. It was. Very civilized experience.

I read some reviews that said Dalvay was outdated and needed renovating. It’s an historic national landmark! It’s supposed to feel like you are in a past time and that’s the charm. Having an ocean breeze cool me through the window in the dining room is much more preferable to industrial AC. And the chef is highly talented and all the staff very well trained to make you feel like royalty. You cross the street and you are at the ocean. You rent a bicycle on location and cruise the coast line. Bottom line, it was the highlight of our PEI stay.

We spent three nights at this historic former private mansion-turned seaside hotel. You can feel its past the moment you step up onto the wraparound deck and into the lobby. There, among the friendliest staff you’ll ever meet, are there to maximize the experience. Each room is unique, with every surface covered in wood. The beach is about 100 yards north and stretches for as far as the eye can see. It has a modern restaurant where breakfast and dinner are served. While the hotel is on the expensive side, after three weeks of cheap motels we decided to splurge…and are glad we did. Memories were made here

Beautiful old hotel with multiple fireplaces and wood paneling. Everything updated. Had a very nice room on the second floor. Restaurant was excellent. Had the best seafood chowder of our 10-day trip through New Brunswick, PEI and Nova Scotia. Situated on a large piece of land with no nearby houses. Large grass lawn on approach and an adjacent lake. Nearby beach walks. Several towns with good restaurants and activities, including the Anne of Green Gables house, to the West.
