PHOTO CONTEST WINNER - December

Pacific Sands Photo Contest Winner

While we (*disclaimer*) never promote rock-climbing close to the surf during Storm Watching Season, the subject in this photo looks like she’s standing on the edge of calm and chaos!

Just look at the pristine tide pool in the foreground against the spectacular, stormy backdrop? Quite a remarkable shot by Ariane Behrend that really captures just how magic it gets around here.

Monthly Photo Contest Winners enjoy a 2-Night Getaway, including wine on arrival and Vij’s Curry-To-Go dinner entrees for 2. Email, upload or Instagram your Pacific Sands digital images by January 30, 2016 for the next chance to win.

RESORT TEAM SPOTLIGHT

Award-winning Smile

In the seven years that Jasmin San Diego has been with us, she’s earned multiple Five Star Employee of the Month awards, not to mention Employee of the Year in 2014.

No surprise, Jasmin is ringing in 2016 with another Employee of the Month vote from guests. Her smiling personality keeps coming up as a notable attribute, but comments about her amazing abilities as Duty Supervisor as well as Group & Wedding Coordinator may also have something to do with it.

Originating from Manila in the Philippines, Jasmin now enjoys life in Ucluelet with her partner Bornje and dog Koda. She helped her mom move to Tofino two years ago, and is now working on bringing her father here.

Like we said…amazing.
