About hour and half away from the airport. No resorts, hotels or restaurants close by you have to travel about 30 minutes. But this resort is right on the river and a beautiful view of Snow peak mountains. Access to little beach. They’re still in process of upgrading their facility. I wish they had a gym but overall, if it’s very friendly, nice day. ##### Rabia Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Coach House Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Northern-Bruce-Peninsula-Hotels-Coach-House-Inn.h74186778.Hotel-Information) > > [Travellers Inn Hanover](https://www.expedia.ca/Owen-Sound-Hotels-Travellers-Inn-Hanover.h13577934.Hotel-Information) > > [Lifestyle Crown Residence Suites - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Plata-Hotels-Lifestyle-Crown-Residence-Suites-All-Inclusive.h1369424.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Chicago](https://www.expedia.ca/Chicago-Hotels.d178248.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Luxus Hunza Attabad Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Aina-Abad-Hotels-Luxus-Hunza-Attabad-Lake-Resort.h82808451.Hotel-Information) > > [Avari Towers Karachi](https://www.expedia.ca/Karachi-Hotels-Avari-Towers-Karachi.h1635863.Hotel-Information) > > [Sheraton Grand London Park Lane](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-London-Park-Lane.h9748.Hotel-Information) > > [Senator Puerto Plata](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Plata-Hotels-Senator-Puerto-Plata-Spa-Resort-All-Inclusive.h29826620.Hotel-Information) > > [Furnished House for Rent In Lahore](https://www.expedia.ca/Lahore-Hotels-Furnished-House-For-Rent-In-Lahore.h27173316.Hotel-Information) > > [Family Hotels in Aruba](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Aruba-Family-Hotel.0-0-d9-tFamilyHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Nishat Hotel Johar Town](https://www.expedia.ca/Lahore-Hotels-Nishat-Hotel-Johar-Town.h22563065.Hotel-Information) > > [Los Corales Beach Village](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Los-Corales-Beach-Village.h16207811.Hotel-Information) > > [Picton Harbour Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Belleville-Hotels-Picton-Harbour-Inn.h6550759.Hotel-Information) > > [Marriott Karachi Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Karachi-Hotels-Marriott-Karachi-Hotel.h19353.Hotel-Information) > > [Best Western High Road Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/Edson-Hotels-Best-Western-High-Road-Inn.h116370.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Florence (FLR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/flr/toronto-to-florence) > > [Flights from Halifax](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/602873/flights-from-halifax) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Le Grand-Saconnex (GVA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/gva/calgary-to-geneva) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to Chek Lap Kok (HKG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/hkg/toronto-to-hong-kong) > > [Air Canada](https://www.expedia.ca/Air-Canada-Flights.cAC.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Columbus (CMH) to Mississauga (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cmh/yyz/columbus-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Taoyuan City (TPE) to Richmond (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/tpe/yvr/taipei-to-vancouver) > > [EVA Airways](https://www.expedia.ca/EVA-Airways-Flights.cBR.Travel-Guide-Airlines) ### Activities ### Packages > [Victoria Fisherman's Wharf](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Fishermans-Wharf-James-Bay.d6215401.Vacation-Attraction) ### General
