Property was outdated, extremely noisey at all hours of the day and night. Geared towards a younger crowd looking to party. Not suitable for families or anyone looking for a relaxing vacation.

Overall a great stay. The Approach room didn't have a fridge which was a little inconvenient but there is a shared ice machine and microwave. The room was clean and quiet with a great view from the balcony. Restaurants were close by with excellent food. Would stay again.

It was great having a room facing the mountain and a private hot tub away from the main area. Food was excellent at the restaurants and we enjoyed walking everywhere and taking the lift up to trails. Note: rooms on 5th floor require walking up two flights of stairs. Also bring a hair dryer and kettle if you want those amenities.

Not worth the location

The Approch is right off the hill, and this room seems like a deal…. Until it’s 2am and you can sleep from the T-Bar rave going on, and the hords of lifting tracking past your room screaming and yelling. Wouldn’t recommend if you want to sleep through the night.

Cassidy

Disliked: Amenities
Overall decent stay, and i would recommend. Keep in mind that it is an extremely basic stay marketed as a luxurious resort. The room lacked allot of really basic amenities (minimal furniture, no mini fridge, no housekeeping, no air conditioning, etc). I also wish they had disclosed that the pool was closed prior to our booking.
