Manteo at Eldorado Resort (Kelowna, Canada)

Fabulous views of the lake and waterside dining make this resort a must-visit place if you're in town. It's very quiet, and super relaxing and guests find that there are plenty of places around the hotel grounds to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet.

From watching a movie in a mini theatre to testing your putting skills on the greens, this place has it all. It's paradise for kids with the outdoor pools and waterslide. And the fact that there are activities arranged for them makes it all the easier for adults to relax.

The staff at the Smack Dab Restaurant are top class. They provide superb service and are full of recommendations for items on the menu. Then there's the food which is delicious and very reasonably priced.

The advertised mountain views are often just a view of another building and a car park with a glimpse of a mountain to the side. It's a little disappointing, to say the least, and has left some guests rather upset that they can count cars instead of mountain peaks.

This place is beautiful from the outside, but once you get into the rooms, you'll see that the carpets and furniture need to be replaced. It's all very dated in the rooms and guests feel that at the premium rates they are paying, the rooms should be modern.
