Westin Resort and Spa

"AWESOME"

Would definitely recommend to friends.

Hotel and staff were awesome.

Mountain was just amazing, great skiing, disappointed we didn''t see any bears though, hibernating.

Location of the Westin was perfect, close to everything.

Thanks to Anne Martin for all your help.

One of our best holidays ever - thanks Travelplan

I can''t say enough positive things about our whole trip - everything was perfect and it all went to plan. Many thanks to Leah at Travelplan for organising everything for us. We loved Whistler - great powder, friendly locals, delicious cocktails, top atmosphere.

Would recommend the Westin to anyone as the room and the service were great and only steps to the gondolas.

Also had a great time at the Fairmont in Vancouver. Fantastic city and we loved the dogs in the hotel having left our own furry friends at home.

10 days of rain in Whistler

I travelled to Whistler with my 2 children for a 10 day skiing holiday from 6-16 January 2010 and hit an unusually warm January - accompanied by 9 days of uninterrupted rain, making for very unfortunate ski conditions - but not allowing much other outdoor activities either due the slushy conditions. This is just the luck of the draw - but its at times like this that you really appreciate a hotel with a good social life - which sadly does not exist at all at The Westin. The Westin has all the charm of a large airport. We spended all our time over at the Fairmont where there was a much more convivial bar with live music, as well as cheap meals between 4-6 pm ($10 a pop).  It would have been great if Travelplan Ski through whom we booked, monitored the weather conditions because we were so bored and miserable, we would have happily jumped at an offer to fly us out of there to a resort with good snow and skiing conditions for an extra cost.
