Denise

We were very pleased with the Desert Surfside.  We have been coming up to Osoyoos for several years and have always stayed at one of two places on that strip of beach.  We weren’t sure how we would feel about changing to the Desert Surfside. I am happy to report that we loved it.  We loved the convenience of the location but more importantly the staff were great, the suite was perfect we had everything we needed.
