Ok place to stay close to the mountains, which has good sized properties for families. Beds are not the best (way too soft and sheets looking very well used), and could do with more heating in rooms as the current ones are quite old and small. Otherwise nice place and great kitchen.

This was a real treat as room was amazing, dinner could be one of if not the best i have had. Really appreciated staff attendance and flexibility pushing checkout to 11, really felt nothing was a problem. Was surprised no sky movies or room service (but now i see how spread out resort is guess it makes sense) & maybe some cabinet food in cafe would be nice. Breakfast was nice but didn't think addition of 4 hot options was worth extra $20 & some tomato would of been nice, all minor. We will definitely be back, probably for couple of nights. Thanks
