The lady who booked us in was very helpful. The room was lovely and clean and the bed very comfortable. The view s are amazing. Snow on the mountains as you drive in and the sea and golf course outside your bedroom door!

What we’d check for you here

- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Koura Bay Golf Resort
What time is check-in and check-out at Koura Bay Golf Resort?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Koura Bay Golf Resort allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Koura Bay Golf Resort?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Is breakfast included at Koura Bay Golf Resort?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Koura Bay Golf Resort have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does Koura Bay Golf Resort have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Koura Bay Golf Resort?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
