Because of you, Watermark Beach Resort is a 2026 Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award winner. This recognition places us among the top 10% of hotels worldwide, and it belongs entirely to the guests who stayed, explored and took the time to share their experience.
Nearly 2,000 reviews have been left on Tripadvisor since Watermark opened its doors in 2009. Guests write about the lake views, the staff who go the extra step, the suites that feel like home and the kind of stay that earns a place on next year’s calendar.
For the third consecutive year, Watermark Beach Resort has earned a Tripadvisor award. It belongs to every guest and team member who made every stay worth writing about.

What The Tripadvisor Travellers’ Choice Award Means
Every year, Tripadvisor evaluates millions of listings across the globe. Hotels that earn consistently strong reviews over a full 12-month period receive the Travellers’ Choice Award, placing them in the top 10% of all properties on the platform worldwide.
The award is not voted on by a panel or judged by industry insiders. It reflects what real travellers took the time to write after their stay. That distinction matters.

Loyalty & Return Visits
Many guests are not visiting for the first time. Watermark regularly features in reviews from guests who have been returning for years, some for over a decade, making it a reliable highlight of their summer travels across southern BC. Guests describe it as the kind of place that gets better each visit.
The resort draws visitors in every season. Situated on the shores of Osoyoos Lake in Canada’s warmest region, it sits at the heart of the South Okanagan, surrounded by desert landscape, Okanagan wine country and year-round outdoor activities. Guests arrive for the lake and come back for everything else.
Staff Moments
The reviews that stand out most are the ones that mention people by name. Guests write about warm welcomes on the patio, housekeeping arriving promptly to sort a minor issue, and a team that treats every request as worth taking seriously. Service scores 4.4 across the listing’s full review history and the individual moments behind that number show up consistently in what guests write.
Suites, Location & The Lake
Location scores 4.8, the highest of any category. Guests describe waking up to lake views, walking to the beach, marina and Main Street. Settling into spacious condo-style suites with full kitchens makes longer stays feel easy. Rooms score 4.6, and it shows in the details: well-equipped kitchens, comfortable beds, private balconies and views worth lingering over.
On site, guests have access to a seasonal outdoor pool, a hot tub, spa and on-site dining at 15 Park with a BC-focused wine list. Watermark is also dog-friendly and guests consistently note that dogs are not simply tolerated here but genuinely welcomed.
Whether guests come for the lake, the wineries, the pool or simply the pace of Osoyoos, the setting keeps them coming back.
