“Better than Napa Valley! and Lake Tahoe!”

This is the best place to live in Canada. We have hot dry summers and lakes galore! The wineries would take months to explore .. there are so many! We have a combination of Napa Valley and Lake Tahoe! The best of all worlds...mountains for skiing, lakes for water sports and Wineries to keep you going for a long time! More

5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 5, 2012

They really went out of their way to make you feel comfortable on-board and answer any questions you may have about the city. The boat/ship/yatch (not sure what to call it) was... More

With all the little trendie carts with things for sale by the water front during the peak hours of the day and the relaxed environment given from the local law, the sounds of thunder from loads of Motor-bikes at the Willow across the street, or the many events that fill this park - you are never in a place of...

“A little run down but still had a certain charm”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed March 20, 2012

We have been going to Lake Okanagan for 30 years. I've seen it have it's ups and downs. At present a lot of updates need to be done on the grounds...including pools etc. It's a huge property so I'm sure it's not the easiest to maintain. Would be nice to see it step it up a bit. More
