Kettle Valley Beach Resort

What guests think

At Kettle Valley Beach Resort, reviewers praise the superb beachfront location and clean, renovated vintage-motel vibe, while noting compact rooms and a largely contactless, text-based service model that is friendly but occasionally imperfect.

Guests appreciate the on-site coffee shop/restaurant and communal courtyards with BBQs and a fire pit, plus easy walking access to nearby dining. Common drawbacks include compact or quirky layouts, thin walls or noise, loud AC, some uncomfortable beds or pillows, and limited outlets or storage; parking can also feel tight. Expect an updated, retro-style stay focused on beach access and convenience rather than full-service amenities.

Our second year here and plan to come back for a third. The staff is so nice and helpful and the place beautifully maintained. Great outdoor area for grilling and chilling and right on the lake; put your swimsuit and walk across the street and you are in the water!

Clean, comfortable. Spacious enough for our family of 5. We visited with another and so having the duplex style set up was great as our friends were right next door. Outdoor fire pit/bbq area was nice. A kitchen table would have been helpful especially if we visited in colder weather but understandably there’s no real space to add one. Easy check in and out. No staff onsite so if there had been any issues I’m not sure how easy it would be to resolve but because we had no issues everything was great for us and we would definitely stay again.

From the outside it looed older but the rooms had been nicely refinished. We really appreciated that no physical check in was required as our door code was texted to us. Check out was the same. Beach towels are avalable at the front desk. Parking was tight as there were a few large pickups that took extra room in a tight angle park courtyard.

OUTSTANDING!! Stayed in one of the bungalows and am now looking into getting back there ASAP!! Everything is within walking distance and the beach is right outside your door. The newly renovated cottages take you back to an earlier time and the communal sitting areas and BBQs were well thought out. Every detail of this hotel had the guest experience in mind. A must stay when in Penticton!

The room updates looked great and the accessibility to the lake and close by restaurants were the best thing about this hotel. The unfortunate drawbacks here were some cleanliness issues in the washroom, and the thinness of the walls as we had trouble sleeping due to the echos of a snoring neighbour.

Room was clean and updated. Self check in was easy. I loved that the property was close to the lakeshore. You could tell it was an older building that had been renovated (smaller room compared to modern hotels) but that’s part of the charm. We just stayed 1 night and it was perfect for the price.

I’ve stayed there before in the summertime and it was fine but in the wintertime because the temperature outside was -20 the room never got warm. The small electric baseboard heaters were insufficient and we were cold all night since there were not enough blankets. Normally I would give a good review, but we were, disappointed that we were very very cold all night

Great location on lakeshore drive and loved that your door code is provided to you ahead of your stay so you don’t need to check in. Overall the place has had a nice renovation for these older Penticton motels. The room itself was an awkward shape and had very few plug outlets. Couldn’t charge your phone beside the bed or use the hair drying my the bathroom sink/mirror. The pillows and bed were also very uncomfortable.

Excellent location, but the property has seen better days. The price versus what you actually get seems way out of proportion. Renovations are dated and the AC is extremely loud, and in my case, didn’t work. I got a rebate on the cost because of this issue but it was a painful process.

This historic hotel has been renovated to just the sweetest place. Love there is a coffee shop that is next door. Our picture was taken on the lake directly across the street. Sunset was amazing! I appreciated the ability to electronically check in to our room and texted instructions. We will be back.

We loved our 1 night getaway at KVBR. It was a great location across fom the lake and we were able to walk to a variety of restaurants in the area. We were only here 1 night but you could walk so many places from this location...main street, Vees game, and more! The asthetic is so cute and well maintained and help was just a text away. Parking was free right outside our door and keyless entry is very convenient! No keys to lose! I would highly recommend.

Great location on Lakeshore Drive. Beach across the road. Check-in is just with a code number provided via e-mail. Room has been improved recently. Still an old style motel. If you are going to an event at the SS Sicamous, as we were, it is a convenient room for the night.
