A very quick review on Nimmo Bay, from which we just returned after a 1 week stay.

It was, quite simply, the best service experience I have ever had, at any hotel, anywhere. A (very) close second would be Amankora. But even Amankora was clearly second. That they manage to accomplish this in Canada, a land almost completely devoid of luxury properties, left me astounded. We went for a week, never once got bored, and threw ourselves at their mercy in terms of activities. Every day was fun, "just right" in terms of effort, offered variety, and impeccable anticipatory service.

Food was very good. In Canada, the only hotel equivalent would be Fogo Island Inn. And wine/wine pairings were excellent, despite featuring BC wines prominently (no easy task).

Hard product was somewhere between really good (the cabins) and out of this world (the floating private hot tub). Even things like the boats were first rate (the hydrofoil catamaran used for sea safaris is really just ridiculous).

Overall this has to be one of the more expensive offerings in Canada at the moment. And I was astonished that it was still good value. We will go back (and have already booked our return). Because it is so small (9 cabins) I am reluctant to gush because I don't want to compete for space with any of you (kidding. sort of. it is already nearly 100% booked for next year anyway.) But it really is that good, and it really did far exceed my expectations. I would be *very* confident that Nimmo sets the bar for luxury wilderness experiences in BC.

Happy to answer any questions others might have.
