Canada Select
![Canada Select Logo Canada Select Logo](jpg/canada_select_logo01e4.jpg)
The Canada Select rating program is voluntary and some operators choose not to participate; an unrated property does not imply low standards.
Some listings show a Canada Select rating based on nationally accepted standards. If you stay at a three-star property elsewhere in Canada, you will find PEI three-star properties comparable. Ratings measure a property's facilities, services, quality and amenities. Please read the descriptions to ensure the amenities you are looking for are available at the property you choose.
Categories and Star Definitions
