The staff at the front desk were friendly and accommodating, we asked for a couple wine glasses and he said they should be in your room before you get there. The only arrived a couple minutes later. We had a beautiful view of the city, it was all lit up for Christmas, just gorgeous. And a cute little balcony with a couple chairs and table. There was also black out blinds which I really appreciated. The climate control was great, and not too loud when it kicked on. The room was tidy and nicely laid out. The bathroom was great with a huge mirror lining one wall. The beds were a bit stiff, but not bad, lots of pillows to choose from and the sheets were alright, a bit loud when you moved but comfortable. One really nice perk was the complementary house coats in the room, that was a nice touch. Not sure if I would want to pay the summer prices for this room, but it was great for our price in the winter.

We booked a room here for a short 3 night stay and were excited to find an internet rate of $71 a night plus tax. When I arrived, I was amazed at what such a low price can get you in Summerland!! I know it's not their peak season, but wow! Our room was ready when we arrived and we were excited to find an incredibly comfortable Queen sized bed, a full kitchen with stove and oven, fridge and freezer, and a big bath tub in the very modern and pretty bathroom. The room was small and a bit cramped, but that's mainly because they try and fit so much into a small space. Our room had a gas fireplace, TV, table and chairs, full kitchen, large armoire, full bathroom, and even a balcony with chairs and table. Everything felt new, fresh and clean. Some family members stayed in the two bedroom suite which had a partial lake view. They were supposed to be in the full lake front view two bedroom suite, but the hotel messed up. We had told them that we had 3 people over the age of 85 who would be sharing a suite. When we got there, they had put us in a suite with a great view, but it had stairs to a loft and the other bedroom was a Murphy bed that you had to move a 6 person table to access. Obviously that isn't going to work for our seniors. We were quite annoyed, but the new room was nice. It wasn't quite what we had asked for, but it was very nice. The full kitchens are really convenient, especially if you are staying a while. The bath tub had very high sides, and it could have used a safety bar or handicap bar to help you in and out. I'm only 36 and of average height, but the tub sides were really high for me and when you are wet, you could slip. They have free WiFi throughout the property, just ask for the pass code when you arrive and it's the same for every hot spot. Overall, the hotel is beautiful. You are steps away from the lake, minutes from downtown Summerland and the surrounding wineries. Penticton is a short drive away and I can't imagine there is anywhere nicer in the area.

We found disposable gloves and sanitizers upon arrival and staff were in masks. Also they were working hard and courteous. I really liked the free fruits left by the reception desk. Loved the big tv! Keurig coffee can be enjoyed in our rooms. Swimming pools and gym were well maintained. Ev parking and bike racks are available. Outdoor dining tables are perfect for warm summer days. Staff served us coffee, tea and breakfast (came in a lunch bag). You can grab some juice or milk from separated coolers. My dad accidentally ate cold breakfast burrito without knowing it. It'd be nice putting a note onto our breakfast bags. I've witnessed few customers complaining about overcharges. Aside from that Fairfield deserves 5 star experience.

The gardens are so nice it almost makes you want to pretend you know something about plants. On-site restaurant? Yep. Tasty food just steps away. The staff are amazing--friendly, helpful, and genuinely seem to care if you're having a good stay (rare these days). There's a pool and hot tub, which is a win, and the beds and pillows are so comfortable it's honestly hard to leave in the morning. If I had to dig deep for a complaint, I guess I could say there's no microwave. But unless you're planning to live off popcorn and reheated pizza, you'll survive just fine. Already looking forward to stay #6!

Let that sink in. 7:30 am woken up while I am on vacation to be asked if I could consider moving rooms? After the initial shock of worrying that something bad had happened which could be the only reason the phone rings at 7:30 am I can state that this is the worst customer service experience in a hotel I have ever experienced. I spoke to the Manager and she said I could choose to have a good day or bad day over this. Wow. The poor customer service example starts at the top. No wonder the staff are incompetent at this hotel. Never stay at this Ramada again.

I had actually been here before about 10 years ago with my parents and also loved it then. But with a huge group of amazing friends and family it was over the top awesome. Overlooking Skaha lake and only 10 min to Penticton this place cannot be beat. It is a throwback to a simpler time. White-washed Greek villa style home with eclectic, randomly designed rooms. If you like consistency, wifi and satellite TV...please move on. This place is not for you. But, if you like to explore finding new things around every corner, enjoying the simple things in life like amazing food (the breakfasts are insanely good - i will venture to say the best breakfast buffet I have ever had!), strolls in the hills, wine and cheese in your own little corner with view, picking fresh fruit from trees (the most amazing yellow plums, apricots, pears etc), star gazing, late night hot tub and lounging by the pool... then please do not miss this place. I cannot wait to get back!!!

It has been very hard to find a double queen room that was separated, it was nice to be able to have that privilege. Staff were very friendly and made a noticeable attempt to be helpful.

The building is a bit dated in the halls and has a confusing layout, but the rooms are clean and modern. The room I was in was a bit strange as the bathroom sink was in the bedroom portion. This was no issue for me as a single occupancy but could be odd for multiple guests using the sink while people are sleeping. The included breakfast was on the weak side of Continental breakfasts. Eggs were stamped out in round circles. No bacon. Sausages were meh, cubed potatoes were bland. No hot sauces. Don't expect a five star, and you'll be fine. Good for the budget conscious family. Quiet too.

Our breakfast brought to our room was different each day. We definitely enjoyed the food. The room was nice with an incredible shower unit that I had not seen before. It included a jacuzzi tub as part of it. As an aside, we walked to the two wineries nearby. One is 1/4 mile and the other about 1 mile. Both Crescent and Pentage were smaller family wineries and people were very nice. We saw many deer on our visit and one bear too. I highly recommend the Above the Beach.

My boyfriend and I checked in just before 9pm fri Sept 30/16 as we drove from Vancouver, BC. Thankfully Google Maps got us directly from downtown Pentiction to right to the establishment so when in doubt use technology! Located up a steep curvy no-shoulder road, a few turns in on the right and you've arrived. The establishment has a small parking lot on the front or street side and an odd black chain-link fenced driveway down the back near the yard. The home on the neighbouring property is huge and looks vacant with overgrown weeds all over. Our separate french doored entrance basement level, pentiction and beach in the lower distance faced a gurgling pond and the multi-leveled downhill yard. Inside we found a sexy large opened space with a large perfectly comfy perhaps queen sized four poster bed, awesome warmed tile floor, interestingly decorated paintings and fantastic "dual bath/shower made in heaven" that the geek in me easily manoeuvred the remote control and dials to work the radio and multiple shower spray options. Loved the eucalyptus bar of soap and the shampoo alot! (Brought my own just in case but didnt need mine yay). Breakfast was reviewed just at check-in for timing and any allergies and each breakfast (sat and sun) far exceeded expectation. Coffee was great but the company and local interaction was the best. Barb and her husband were perfect hosts. I would be honored to come again sometime.
