What clients say about WorldMark Discovery Bay in Port Townsend (WA)
Always a fantastic experience, the location is great, the views are awesome (especially when you get a unit near the water or without trees blocking it), very nice quiet area. Wish there was a sauna or bigger hot tub but other than that fantastic place to stay.
Just left after staying 5 days and it was a wonderful resort. Special shout-out to Julie in the mornings at the front desk who was extremely kind and helpful whenever we needed it and staff were always on top of maintaining the property and pool/hot tub which was my favorite amenity! Was also really nice to have a place to play shuffle board, pool and ping pong. Definitely looking forward to returning!!
The downside side first, there is a lot of noise transfer between unit. There are a lot of stairs and the noise of stair use next door echos in adjoining units. Enough to wake a person in the night. It possible children were running up and down the stairs all night. I'm not sure but the sound transfer was loud. Also no free wifi. The cheapest package is $50 for 10 days access.
Other than that it was a very nice place. The unit looked recently refreshed and was very clean and well maintained. The views are great from all units. The unit does not have to be right on the water for a view. The units up the hill have wonderful bay views. The gym is not huge but has what you might need. The pool is also not large but has an area for swimming laps and an another area. Also a hot tub. No life guard is there so swimming laps can be challenging as parents seem to have no interest in keeping playing children out of the lap swim area. There is a changing room but no lockers. The changing room and showers are open and in the women's and men's restrooms so not a lot of privacy. Front desk staff is friendly and helpful. Its about even distance between port townsed and squim. Both are cute little towns.
We got a 2 bedroom loft, sleeps 8 people. Had 5 sub levels, quite a bit of stairs but not bad. Great set up especially for family groups. Very quiet and beautiful view of the bay.
We loved the free movie rentals from the office & complimentary popcorn.
Staff very pleasant! Older buildings but very well maintained & presented. We had a great stay
Can’t rave enough on recent stay at WorldMark discovery bay.
Spacious, spotless, incredible bay views, from many vantage points.
Indoor pool, hot tub, also locker room/showers, so convenient, so welcome
Sara at the front desk, knowledgeable not only on all things WorldMark, but area in general, eating, shops. Extremely helpful & personable.
Can hardly wait for return visit

Loved all the space we had in our room. View to discovery bay was excellent. Close proximity to lots of attractions especially the Discovery Trail was hard to beat.
No A/C. Only Worldmark resort I've been to without it. Unbearably hot in the rooms, and the windows only open about 3 inches. Not sure how a place calling itself a resort can get away without AC.
Wonderful wonderful place, with a variety of rooms w/ different views, with very pleasant employees everywhere, and they have a boat dock, sequim is one way Port Angeles the other
Tucked away across the water, this property is one of our favorite places to get-away to. Everyone is friendly. The views are breathtaking. We always enjoy our time here.
A beautiful waterfront resort with comfortable and clean rooms and a helpful staff. Used it as a base to visit Olympic National Park and Port Townsend.
.Great views. Indoor pool. Spacious rooms. Comfort away from home. easy access to olympic ntl park, Sequim, port Townsend, port Angeles, hood canal bridge and beyond. New remodeling LR & DR furniture not comfy or inviting. belongs in a 50's sterile office waiting room. Lots of fake formica . Bedrooms comfortable..
Pool building is finished and now a glassed in room. Looks wonderful and seems to regulate humidity well. Added a double sized cabana with gas fireplace outside pool enclosure.
Love the location of how quiet and quaint it is. Don’t mind the stairs at all since our kids love it and we count that as exercise for us but would not recommend for people with bad knees. Views are spectacular though. We stayed here multiple times as owners. They have updated all units. The pool and game room is also a lot better now as well. Internet works great along with adequate free tv channels. Bring your own chromacast if you want Netflix and Hulu. Unit was clean and we had a bit of trouble with our fireplace and Eric helped us with turning it on quickly. Julie and Adrian was also quick in responding our texts. Checking in was also a breeze! I love discovery bay! It’s our go to yearly. Please tip housekeeping everyone! ?(bring change since front desk can’t give change out for tips)
Great place. My only drawback is the stairs. Only been here one time before. The room has two floors. One floor had a bedroom, bathroom and eating area. Reasonable flight getting in but once in one floor had everything. Other floor bedroom. This time not one floor has everything. Three split levels. The rest is great- clean, comfortable spacious friendly staff. Tribal land and casino have AMAZING LIGHT DISPLAY - REALLY BIG!!!!
Great location. Booked non-ADA suite with loft. It was actually 4 floors with lots of stairs, not just to the loft.
Staff was great until we asked if they had something without so many stairs. Then treated us like we were dumb for not waiting for an ADA opening. We just asked, we weren't mean. Not sure why the quick flip (Anna).
The view is great. The higher floor the better view. Area is clean and quiet. The grounds could use some work outside of the storm debris.
Fireplaces down in entire building. Pool closed for renovation. Dock on lake half closed from storm damage from last week's storm. The BBQ is propane so at least that worked.
It did seem like one of the bathrooms hadn't been vacuumed with stuff on floor. After we got in the tub you could feel the ring around it but too late, we were already in.
Two parking spots. Both wide.
Not much to do nearby. Not sure why vacancy is scarce during winter because of that.
Toilet paper and paper towels thinest we've ever seen. Not sure where our dues are going.
No sales pitch, attentive and helpful staff, and the best views of any Worldmark in northern Washington. The rooms are well kept, clean, and the decor is awesome. Better yet, you can't beat the sunrises over the bay when you wake up in the morning.
We have been Worldmark members since 2000. This was by far the best experience we have had. I attribute it to the management which is focused on giving the clientele the best experience. He understands what we expect and delivers. Every one of the staff was very happy to work there, as a result our interaction with them was incredibly friendly and fun! That's down to management appreciating and motivating them.
Beautiful view, clean, comfortable and there is a boat dock, indoor pool and nicely finished rooms. We try to go every year. We love this location. The resort sits right at the waters edge so the sights are beautiful and you can see big fireworks across the water on the 4th of July.
It's an amazing getaway. Stayed in one of the units on the water, near the dock. Beautiful, unobstructed views of Discovery Bay and the land on the opposite side. Small but functional fitness room and descent size indoor pool and hot tub. Staff was friendly. Our place had two bedrooms, the master on the lower level and a second on the upper level, with the living space in the middle. That means lots of stairs: A half flight from the entry down to the master bedroom, a half flight from the entry up to the living room, dining room and kitchen, another half flight up to the bathroom, and a final half flight up to the second bedroom. We don't have medical issues that limit our ability to use stairs, so for us it was no problem.
We spent the 2023 Christmas holiday in a ADA compliant condo.
Check in was very easy.
Parking was just outside the condo door making for easy unloading and loading.
The unit was nice and clean, even smelled clean.
The kitchen counters were a bit lower which made it easier for a wheelchair enabled person to reach
The toilets were nice and high and the rooms were large enough to accommodate a wheelchair.
The couch sat higher than standard and was easy to get on/off.
The beds were VERY comfortable.
The view was beautiful, looking out over the bay from the living/dining room, and master bedroom room.
Seven Cedars Casino, Port Townsend and Quilcene were close by and a delight.
Definitely recommend to anyone that would like to get a taste of Washington State beauty.
Timeshare. Great location, about 20 mins to things that you need. It is quiet, with a great view of the bay. The employees are very friendly, wonderful service. The rooms have been updated over the last couple of years. The ceiling fans have been a wonderful addition. The beds are super comfortable, including the sofa beds. Still waiting on some appliances to be replaced, some really need replaced or repair. The screens for the windows and sliders definitely need some love also.
Fantastic job in the recent renovations. They have done a very good job making this place a comfortable stay for all who come. Want to go fishing or boating? They have a private dock just for you. Lots of family activities as well. There is a recreation room and indoor pool to keep the kiddos entertained.
Looking forward to coming back again.
For being in the middle of nowhere, this little space on the Bay is perfect. The staff are incredibly nice and accommodating. When I forgot a mask, I asked if they had any extras before I walked into the lobby. They brought one out and thanked me for my consideration.
The rooms are spectacular. From the soaking tub to the vista that greeted us every morning, we found ourselves right at home. The TVs are great quality. One thing that would be nice is a kettle for boiling water but that is so minor it isn't worth taking a star.
And getting around to Port Townsend and Port Angeles is a breeze. Discovery Bay seems to be situated between both locations evenly. And everywhere in between is within a nice drive to explore and for adventure.
Highly recommend.
We spent three nights in a two bedroom condo at this resort. We were not in a waterfront condo, as pictured, but further up the hill. It appears to me that the pictured condos are privately owned. Our condo had a tiny Kitchen where it was difficult to have more than one person at a time doing any prep or clean-up work. The pots and pans were old, and not suitable for the glass topped stove and otherwise the kitchen was minimally equipped. There was a toaster and a coffee maker, but no tea kettle, or hand mixer. If you are trying to load the dishwasher, you can't open the refrigerator, as they bump into each other. The dining table was wobbly, and the legs on the table made it impossible to sit comfortably. ||There is a tennis court and an indoor swimming pool at this resort, however the tennis court is in very poor condition, with bad cracks and potholes. The chlorine smell of the pool is very strong, even outside the building, so we were not tempted to use it. Staying here did give us easy access to Port Townsend and Fort Flagler State Park, and had we stayed longer, more scenic spots on the Olympic Peninsula. There are no restaurants within walking distance, so you definitely need to plan for that.
Oh my gosh! Where do I start??? Our room was so lovely, comfortable and our picturesque view of Discovery Bay...unbeatable! The tranquility was appreciated and We felt remote but this property is close to dining, breweries and grocery stores. We enjoyed the hot tub and sizable pool as well as the rec room. We had never visited this property before and it really exceeded our expectations. The staff were kind and helpful and the unit we stayed in, clean and in working order. The sleeping appointments, wonderful and the king bed, so comfy. I would LOVE to return!
We stayed in a two bedroom deluxe. The view was good, but most rooms have great views, we received the rare room not on the water. We were placed right above the game room. The road noise from highway 101 was disturbing at times. Then the kitchen sink had issues, the room wasn't cleaned properly, and the sliding glass door screen didn't want to work. Look, there were some problems, but the view was great, the room was spacious, and the staff (not at the front desk) helped us out with the issues we encountered. It could be so much more, but it was still very nice in most ways. The day shift front desk staff were useless and the manager could have cared less about our issues. Fortunately, the other staff was great, the suite was spacious, and The view was good.
