Fodor's Expert Review Walnut Beach Resort

With its own sandy beach on the shores of Okanagan Lake, this lovely resort has an away-from-it-all ambience, helped by the fact that it's at the end of a road in a quiet residential neighborhood. All the studio, one-, and two-bedroom suites have gourmet kitchens and are tastefully furnished with high-end linens, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. The wine bar and restaurant open onto a large pool patio with a barbecue area where chefs grill up made-to-order burgers, steaks, or salmon fillets. The hotel has a steam room and sauna, as well as a small workout area and a one-room spa.
