Detailed Reviews
One of the nicest hotels we've stayed at. This was our first stay and we were in TownHouse 26, Sep 11-15. This is our 4th stay in Osoyoos and we regularly stay at the Spirit Ridge Resort but decided we wanted to be closer to the town centre as we were not going to prepare our dinner meals and just go out (after all, I"M ON VACATION!!).
The Watermark Beach Resort Townhouses are extremely spacious! We had a 2 bedroom TH and even the 2nd bedroom was large enough to have a King-Sized bed and it's own TV. The kitchen was very clean and well-equipped with your basic pots, pans and utensils. Complementary Tea and Coffee, Creamers, Laundry Soap, Dishwasher Tablets, Dishwashing Liquid were also provided. A housekeeping service was available to make beds, exhange towels, dish cloths, dish towels etc., on a daily basis.
The bathrooms are modern and clean, and again, extremely spacious. Our main bedroom was massive, but a bit barren as it seemed to be missing maybe a small table and some chairs? It would be a nice touch to have that. The empty space could probably accommodate another pullout couch or crib, it was that big.
We noticed that there were no dresser drawers, and that was a bit puzzling as the bedrooms were certainly spacious enough to have them. The closets were ample. Could have a few more hangers available, though. The hallway closet on the landing did not have any hangers available, but it was nice to have a closet there to house shoes and bike helmets or sports gear.
It was such a peaceful setting to look out onto the pathway and lake. We enjoyed our morning coffees and breakfasts doing just that. Just a note that TH 26 did not have ground floor access to the beach/pathway area, however, we did find it was much more private and that we really preferred that. I think the end units are all similar layout in that the outdoor eating area is above ground (as in the 3rd floor).
We brought our e-Bikes with us and although a locked bike storage area is available in the garage, we felt somewhat disconcerted that we were not given any claim tags for the bikes. Each bike could be locked to a rack within the storage facility, however, any guest could claim he/she had a bike in storage and take any bike that wasn't physically locked without having a claim tag to prove it.
Luckily, the entry way in our TH was large enough to be able to store our 2 bikes, so we felt more secure having the bikes in our unit.
Would I stay here again? HECK YES!!! The concierge person Christina was lovely and very efficient. And our interactions with all the other team members at the Front Desk were very positive, the staff are extremely friendly and prompt. They acknowledged us even if they were engaged with another person on the phone or at the desk so we never felt neglected or ignored. Such great service!!
We will most certainly be returning. Thank you again!

I was very happy with my recent stay at Watermark. We were a family of 4 with a small dog, and stayed in a 2 bedroom fully equipped apartment with balcony overlooking the lake for 3 nights. My only regret was that we did not stay longer. The rooms were great; thoughtfully furnished with high quality materials and appliances. The apartment had everything one could ask for, including a supply of coffee, blender, full range of kitchen supplies. The washer/dryer with complimentary detergent worked efficiently and was greatly appreciated. One night we used the clean and modern communal bbq near the pool & we could also enjoy our meals around the large table on our balcony. Watermark's pool is great with a water slide and 2 hot tubs (one theoretically adults only). and many sun loungers The location of the hotels at the lake front is scenic and convenient to shopping, restaurants etc. My only criticism is with the 5 pm check in which seems a bit extreme &, in our case at least, was adhered to. The staff is very international and helpful. In all, a great stay and I'd love to return - for longer next time!

Dear Guest Thank you for the thorough review on your stay and for sharing your experience. I am pleased you enjoyed your stay with us. The 5pm check-in time is different than most hotels due to the condo / apartment like structure of the rooms as they take much longer to clean than your average hotel room. We look forward to welcoming you back next time. Kind regards, David

A lot to digest? Read an AI-generated summary of recent traveller reviews.
Two bedrooms, two full bathrooms upstairs, plus powder room on main, in a Walkout townhome unit. We were three adults, two near teens (so lots of stuff) - Our unit was ‘mother-in-law clean’, plenty of towels/ linens, chairs and still there was more than enough room and comfort for us all. A well stocked kitchen with plenty of utensils, dishes ect. Patio was perfect for morning coffee/ breakfast, book reading, people watching and nighttime games.
Location's is absolutely perfect for walkers to easily get to groceries, shopping, restaurants, local artisans and casual walks. The pool/ restaurant/ hotel staff were all friendly, knowledable and professional. The entire property is well maintained and spotlessly clean..
Thank you Watermark for providing us with another worry free stay. ♥️♥️

There were a number of things we absolutely loved about the Watermark Beach Resort but we also think the resort should be made aware of improvements that should be made to the suites. We don’t know when the improvements have been done in the suites last, but it is definitely time for some improvements. One thing that is definitely needed is a replacement for the washers and dryers. I regularly had to call maintenance to start the washer. It would shut off shortly after I would start it. Sometimes it had water in the load and not be locked to have water spill out when it was opened. Numerous suites had this problem. The chesterfields (sofa beds) were very broken down so we felt like we were sitting on the floor and very uncomfortably hard. The TVs were in need of updating to smart tvs and had limited channels. The bathtubs were very difficult to get into for seniors as the bathtub sides were extremely high. Most of the people we met there were seniors. As a senior, this was a very important issue for safety. The toilets as well were very low so not adequate for seniors. The suite we were in was a street facing suite and extremely noisy from about 6 am to 8ish pm with semis and noisy revving vehicles.
Staff were awesome. Location was excellent. Hallways and common areas were beautiful and being remodeled nicely. Community were great. Please consider work to the suites though.

Good Morning Thank you very much for your note and I am pleased that overall you enjoyed your stay but I certainly do see your notes and I'm happy to address them. In regards to the washers and dryers, this is already in the process of happening. We have already began work on sourcing the 140 new washers and dryers we will need for the resort and we are hoping to have them in this summer. With regards to room renovations, we are currently in the design phase of these renovations so that we can start working on improvements in that area as well to go along with all the others updates recently completed in the resort. We hope you will stay with us again to see the continued upgrades as they happen. Kind regards, David

The resort has definitely gone down hill, the pool deck had the same 2 hair balls and a cherry pit the whole time I was there. The first room we had was dirty, run down and the the toilet was broken. They moved us to a second room which was in a great location but still very run down, dirty and there was a toilet bowl plunger sitting by the front door which would have explained why one of the bathrooms toilets was plugged. We called to get the toilet unplugged and they showed up tried to unplug it but informed me they would need to come back tomorrow with a snake around 9 or 10am. Well they didn’t show up the next day till I called. I spent a good hour wiping things down as it was getting late and just had enough. I think every window had broken blind cords and dead bugs squished all over them. We had a few good laughs watching the pool staff (young kids) walking around dragging their feet wiping the same spots over and over again trying to look busy but more worried about their hair and how cool they looked. Let’s just say unless something really changes at this resort we will not be staying here again.

We’ve been staying at the Watermark for the past few years, almost always in the fall through spring. Travelling across southern BC, it’s a wonderful overnight stop to break up the trip when the light goes earlier. In these lower traffic seasons it is possible to book for just one night, whereas in high season there is a minimum booking time.
Rates are very decent for the amenities provided, since you get a full living space and kitchen facilities and can prepare or reheat meals.The grocery store and liquor stores nearby couldn’t make that more convenient.
Nice little fitness centre which is very quiet in the off-season, and a nice large hot tub. Even a very good sized bathtub
in the room!
We really enjoy the beautiful views out over the lake. It feels very special to have the privilege of looking out on that view.
The beds are very comfortable and the surroundings tasteful.
15 Park always delivers a delicious meal, and Convivia a short walk away is another excellent option.
Osoyoos’ downtown is right at the door, and I recommend the coffee at Jojo’s.
Make time to drop into the skateboard shop (Unity), where you MUST see the owner’s amazing collection of objects from the past: maybe from your childhood.
We stayed three nights recently (a spontaneous third night was accommodated extremely graciously by the front desk staff), and did a wine tour. We were very impressed with our wine tour host, Swiws Spirit Tours. Convenient hotel drop off and pick up.
The area is breathtaking so if you are here for a bit, get out on some of the trails. Oxbow trail is an easy one. Then head back for a wine tasting flight at 15 Park.

We tried to book a room here, as we’d always wondered about bringing our family for a summer vacation. It’s winter, Sunday night, and we showed up at 2:30 pm to ask if we could get a waterfront studio room. We were told there were rooms, since no one was booked to come into the hotel that night at all, but the desk clerk checked with the manager who said that the room had to be made up, and check in time was 5 pm though we could use the hot tub if we wished. We went for a walk and returned just after 4, when the manager called from a back room that it would be 20 more minutes. Since we were quite tired by this time, and asked if there were other waterfront rooms, the clerk checked with him again and came back to say we could be offered a non-waterfront room or parking lot room with waterfront in the background, but didn’t offer a reduction in price. We felt like our business really wasn’t all that important to them, so we left and got a great waterfront room at the Coast hotel, with a complementary bottle of wine, for a lower price all before 5 pm. We won’t be back to the Watermark again.

Good day I'm sorry to hear about your experience and that you won't be visiting us again. The resort only has 2 Studio Lakeview rooms so if they were in use the day prior, we would need to clean them. As all of our rooms are rooms with full kitchen facilities, living room, etc, they do take longer to clean than a standard hotel room. It does sound though that based on the timelines you gave, even without having made an advance booking for the unit, that your room would have still been ready prior to our guaranteed check-in time had you decided to stay. I hope you enjoyed your brief stay in the town of Osoyoos. Kind regards, David

Hotel over booked so they upgraded us. Good. Got there everything was perfect on check in but all this means nothing if the stay wasn't pleasant. Refrigerator was set on high cooling along with the wine cooler. When we woke up the next day everything felt like room temp. We set it to the coldest possible setting. There were bugs and cobwebs all over the room, insects on the beds like spiders and others but not bed bugs. The lamp above the dinning table was stained and had about 30 bugs of different types all over it with spider webs. Bugs and cob webs in the lamps. I understand some bugs can be acceptable because of area but we had the sliding doors and windows closed the whole time. The deck had webs all over it. The bbq had webs all over it. Knobs and everything. We had to spend about 45 min cleaning up when we got there. Now on top of that, the pool and ho tubs. People were defiantly coming right out the beach into the pool so the pools and hot tubs were dirty and full of sand. We didn't stay long but if you are going to use the pool a nd hot tub, use it earlier in the day. Lots of hair like plant roots in the pool. I call it hair like because it look like something you pull out of a shower drain but i refuse to believe it was hair.

I like to think that my reviews provide an honest and as fair as possible opinion of a particular place I’ve visited and, if you have a look, at my other reviews I hope that you’ll see this. For this one, before I posted it, I thought long and hard about whether I was being fair minded and I came to the conclusion that I wouldn’t change anything.
We had booked a “One Bedroom Suite Lake View” and yes, there’s a view of the lake but the suite is right in the corner of what is effectively a “U” shaped building and the view is therefore obstructed by the rest of the building to your left or right dependent upon which corner you get. Straight ahead is fine though!
In addition, the patio is virtually open to next door so you might as well be conversing with the people next door to you - yes, you hear every word! And, remembering that you’re in a corner, you hear the people to your left or right in front of you as well!
And, keep your blinds shut because, unlike the view of the lake, the view into the suite isn’t obstructed at all! Speaking of blinds we had a broken one which wouldn’t open properly so I asked at Reception for someone to fix it - “No problem, we’ll send someone up right away!”. We’re still waiting……
The room itself is a time share so is well equipped with fridge/freezer and washer/dryer etc but is designed to be easy to clean and, as a result, is somewhat sterile and not in any way what could be termed “homely”. It’s well equipped adequate.
The good points for the hotel/time share is that they’re right on the lake and have easy access to the town and I’m sure that many people would’ve perfectly happy.
Did I like the suite? No. Would I recommend it as a high end suite? No.
The weirdest thing for me was that when we were checking in, the couple in front were querying that although they’d booked a lake view room they’d got a street view instead. And reception staff were trying to persuade them that it was because the system “has a drop down menu which shows that you’re booking a lake view option but really means street view”. What???!!!
So, overall, would I recommend staying at the Watermark Beach Resort, Osoyoos? Based upon our experience? A resounding “No” I’m afraid.

We have stayed at the Watermark before and this time we were fortunate to be able to book one of their townhouses. Although it costs a little more than the 2 bedroom suite, the convenience of a personal bbq station and deck access to the beach was phenomenal . They also allow for those who have EVs to plug in at the parking spot you have for the townhouse which means no lining up at their EV stations (although I must say this hotel is great for having them…not everyone has EV stations that are easily accessible). The rooms are nice and clean and it was definitely a home away from home.
We didn’t use the restaurant much as the townhouses are equipped with a full kitchen. However, their Bistro - which also serves as the Pool Bar, has phenomenal food at decent prices with amazing services. The gentleman who served me at the Pool Bar was exceptionally great as he also helped me make dinner reservations for our final night. All in all, the Watermark is fantastic: best location bar none, great service and delicious food. We will definitely be coming back!

This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
All suites, with the exception of studios, come with a washer and dryer in the suite. There are no other laundry facilities located within in the resort.
Each of our suites are individually owned so that locked door would be the owners closet.
We typically close our pool after the Canadian Thanksgiving long weekend and then reopen it at the end of April, weather depending.
No .. however, when we visited there, a wedding reception had been booked there.
I suggest you email the Resort directly as I cannot confirm whether the pool is heated but I am quite sure it is.
Hello;
Yes, babies and toddlers are allowed in the pool, provided they are wearing swimming diapers. We do not allow floaties, only life jackets and water wings for the little ones. No toys, water guns, noodles, or inflatables of any kind.
Thank you
