What reviewers say

Visitors frequently praise the Manteo's spectacular lakefront location and friendly, attentive staff. However, several guests report significant issues with noise from downstairs entertainment, particularly in rooms not soundproofed from the club or event areas, which can disrupt sleep. Some also mention that the food can be average and the gym facilities are limited.

About this place Manteo Resort Waterfront Hotel & Villas

Manteo Resort sits directly on Okanagan Lake in Kelowna’s Lower Mission, occupying a stretch of Lakeshore Road. It’s a mainstream waterfront property that welcomes gay travelers, though it isn’t a gay-specific venue. The complex mixes hotel rooms with villas, leaning heavily into eco-conscious operations as a primary selling point. Summer is peak season here. July and August see the lake and nearby wineries pulling in families, which means you’ll need to book early if you’re planning a mid-summer stay. The vibe is distinctly family-oriented. You’ll find a seasonal outdoor pool, a dedicated kids’ pool, and a children’s club on-site. Free self-parking is available, a small perk in a region where parking fees often creep up. This isn’t a nightlife base. The property is quieter and daytime-focused. If you want evening energy, downtown Kelowna is about a 10-minute drive north.

The Manteo offers all the services you want, including multiple pools with hot tubs and several restaurants. It's in an up-and-coming part of Kelowna and an easy drive to downtown if you want. We enjoyed our 5-night stay.

We ate at Manteo last night and had a nice evening. The location is spectacular and worth a visit just for that. To be honest, the food was average. The foccacia bread was delicious but my fish was over cooked and the chef's special pasta was ok. Desert (cheesecake) was also delicious. Service was slow but that could have been partly due to it being quite busy. I would ho back just yo sit on the deck and have drinks and appy's.
