Top hotels in South Oak Bay
Oak Bay Beach Hotel
Hotel was elegant and extremely clean! Staff went above and beyond to serve us, especially William with the poolside service. The spa was incredible with a massage by a RMT and the hot tubs overlooking the ocean with adults only was just the spot for an anniversary celebration.
