I enjoyed the Gil's bowl area the most. Even in a year when we have the least amount of snow, the weather kept it well. It's much better than the coastal area resorts. The lines are also shorter. This is a great family resort, may not be for the elite thrill seeking crowd but has enough for everyone to do.

Treat yourself to one of the famous cinnamon buns. I just wished, we had more Sun during our visit. Watch out for the grumpy grouses.

This was our first stop on our trip to Banff and I'm glad we chose this hotel. We were looking what town to overnight as its our first time in these parts of the woods and took a chance on Prestige in Salmon Arm. Loved it! Our first time staying at a Prestige Resort and we will be checking for them more for our trips. Located on the water, check in was a breeze and has many shops around. Free parking. There's an outdoor hot tub, & an indoor/outdoor pool. As you hang out in the hot tub, there's a birds nest you can just got lost in watching. The gym is nicely sized and has some really nice expensive gym equipment. I met a local in the hot tub and she says the hotel sells memberships to the locals for the hotel amenities. Real cool! The hotel also has bikes for rent, games on the lawn, chairs to sunbathe and a quick walk to the docks. Our room was standard sized with 2 queen beds. It felt clean, and welcoming. I loved the bathroom! Standard room comes with a tub and a shower. Lovely luxury surprise. The beds were really comfortable. There's a mini fridge, coffee maker, ice bucket and microwave. It's a beautiful updated luxury property in a small town surrounded by water and nature.

You guys this place was fan-freaking-tastic!…read more My husband's family owns a beach condo in Celista. We go out there every summer and this is the first time we've ever been to the Quaaout Lodge. It was my husband's birthday today and his parents treated us to a wonderful dinner. This is also the first time we have gone to a restaurant since Covid started, and their safety protocols made us feel very safe. The staff was all wearing masks, the tables were spaced out great, there was sanitizer stations all over the place, and when we arrived they even sanitized the chairs! The service was top notch. Our drinks and food both arrived promptly and we were all very impressed with everything. Everyone ordered the fish and chips but me, but I had a taste of my husband's and it was delicious. I had the Wedge Salad and it was hands down the best salad I've ever had (I highly recommend). I also recommend the Botanical Gin and Tonic The server overheard us mention that it was my husband's birthday and they offered him a free dessert (the best creme brule ever) complete with a candle. Overall we were all thoroughly impressed and will definitely be back next summer!

The lights in the washroom and at the bed for reading are nice and bright. It is so nice to have good lighting when using the washroom and reading in bed at night. The bin they have for recycling is nicely divided into 4 sections labeled paper, plastic, metal and glass. In the bedroom they have a hassock underneath the bedside table, this provides a great seat to be used when writing or making notes. You have a little mini desk. We had a great stay at Quaaot and would highly recommend a stay here. The staff are all very welcoming and helpful.

After we had traveled all day from Edmonton, the front desk threw a wrench into the first night of…read moreour trip. We had confirmed a room advertised as "Pet Friendly | 2 Queen Beds." We had even put in the credit card they demanded to secure the room. When we arrived, one of the woman at the front desk told us, "Cats are not allowed." As if that wasn't insulting enough, they acted as though we should have known this - even after I showed my confirmation document that included a pet. "Oh, that's only for dogs," she insisted, not nicely. "You should have read the hotel policies posted online." I have traveled around the world, and never even thought of looking up a hotel's internal policy statements. A second woman at the desk looked at me sympathetically, clearly embarrassed by her boss' behavior. I tried calling the Best Western helpline. A woman there transferred me to someone calling herself Tiffany, who put me on hold a couple of times. Finally, she came back to tell me the same thing as the front desk, even though she had initially agreed that this sounded outrageous. Naturally, I asked her to give me a good reason to ever trust Best Western again. At this point, I cannot imagine putting any part of a trip in their dishonest hands. The first woman at the reception desk finally made a few calls, upon our insistence, and found us a room at a motel in Sicamous. I did appreciate that gesture and have reviewed the other place; interested travelers can find that on my Yelp page. Meanwhile, Best Western still has their falsely advertised listing online. I just found it and will paste the screenshot below.

Careful as this is a public safety health issue. They were advised of planned power outage but due to greed, neglected to tell their guests that Sunday June 23 will be without power but they will sure take your money. After the water issue our room smelled like sewage, water was brown and front desk staff did not seem to care. I'm disgusted that we allow businesses to conduct themselves like this in this country. This is flat out abusive conduct to treat people like this as long as we can line business owners pocket. Shame on sicamous and British Columbia for lowering your standard over the years. This hotel should be assessed for public safety issues. The day our ministries take lisencing and public safety seriously, we will be safe. Don't pay until you see the room, flush the toilet, run the water, look at and smell the mattress and take a look at window sill sheets and floors. You'll need to open the door for this as the lighten serves the owners. My rating does not exist. This hotel owner is hiding due to his negligence. My true rating comes with many negatives.

Not new and not run down, everything is clean and more or less updated. The views from the rooms are what make it. Dinner was quality. Servers were friendly and helpful and the kitchen's output was good. Breakfast was missable and not complimentary. There is some sort of a gift shop. If it was an inexpensive motel, I'd love it. **The pool really screams "roadside motel" BTW.** At this price, what you get is nice, but I'm not overjoyed. The real estate dictates the price, I reckon.

Great for us. New name - Sundance Lodge, not Coast. Best location for ski in/out and good value…read more Clean, beds comfortable, kitchen or a kitchenette in every room. The staff treats us like family. Premium room is worth it if you do serious cooking. Agreed: groomers are noisy and run all night. (We ask for a relatively quieter room and a village view and we use white noise). Yes, it was built in 1996, but we like the feel of it being older. We're 70+ skiers. We like that one can go right out the ski room door and ski downhill 100'ish to the Sundance lift at 8:30. A short walk across the road under the covered bridge to Morrisey can be great for first tracks when there's new snow. Access is so easy we take a mid day break in the room. You can ski all downhill to the door from the Rambler or Sunrise. (see the map). The highlight for us is the guided tours by the Sun Peaks Hosts. They'll guide you to the best areas, away from the fog, wind, ice, hardpack etc. We love the Sundance and have returned year after year since 2013. Seattle and Bellingham Washington.

We stopped by in October and stayed for only one night. It was off season at the ski resort so we got a room at a great value and it was very quiet. It's a beautiful location and I can imagine how busy it must get during the snow season because it was dead when we were there. Most of the village shops and some of the restaurants were open when we were there. We were able to get dinner at a pizza spot and breakfast, but the village was nearly deserted. The rooms are outdated and old. I did enjoy that the room was huge and big enough for a big family. There was a small kitchenette, a dining table, fireplace, and a TV. The bed was comfortable, very clean and there were no bedbugs. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and engaging she even gave us advice on where to park at.

My room had floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the mountains where I sat in my bath and revelled in the peaceful scenery before me. The KurSpa was originally my reason for going as it's got to be one of the best spas in the whole country! There's a rose steam room, the aforementioned crystal one and even an ice room.

THE BATHROOM WAS BROKEN AND THE SPA WAS A LIE…read more Listen. I am tired. You are tired. We are all exhausted from existing in late-stage capitalism, and sometimes you just need to throw an obscene amount of money at a hotel to sit in hot water and pretend everything is fine. I WENT TO SPARKLING HILL AND EVERYTHING IS NOT FINE. If I am paying hundreds of dollars a night, the absolute bare minimum requirement is that I can use the bathroom. The toilet didn't work. Do you know how demeaning it is to be in a fancy crystal hotel and you can't flush? It's 2024. We have sent billionaires to space, but we cannot get working plumbing in Kelowna. The entire experience was a masterclass in gaslighting. The "spa"--the whole reason you go there--had zero ambiance. It felt like a community rec center pool that smells faintly of chlorine and regret. And the amenities? TRASHED. The shower head was stuck pointing at the wall at five feet high. I'm not five feet tall. I had to hug the wall to get wet. It was humbling, and not in a good way. The service was actively hostile to joy. Our friend tried to send us champagne--a lovely gesture!--and the staff turned it into a logistical nightmare, claiming it was too late at night, and then too close to checkout in the morning. THEY JUST DIDN'T WANT US TO HAVE THE CHAMPAGNE. But the real kicker, the thing that truly enrages me, is the bait-and-switch. We paid. We traveled. We checked out. AND THEN they told us we couldn't use the pool anymore. They didn't mention this policy *once* until they had our money and our room keys. We travelled all that way to use a spa, paid for the privilege, and then were physically barred from entering the water. Also, the saunas don't open until 2 PM. Why? Are the steam elves sleeping in? And I swear to god the restaurant staff was wearing machine gun tie clips. READ THE ROOM. This place is a shiny trap. Save your money and buy an inflatable pool for your backyard. At least the toilet inside your house works.

Parking stalls are small so some vehicles take up more than a spot. The drive to the soccer fields are long but we enjoyed the scenic drive (about 50mins each way). Don't rush the drive up or down, enjoy the scenery and tranquility. Be careful as there are wildlife on the drive up/down from Sun Peaks. We saw deer a couple of times on the side of the road and a juvenile black bear (we almost hit one) darted out of the bushes on to the road at one point. Overall, we had a great experience and glad we chose to stay here.
