We had the pleasure of staying at Club Intrawest in Whistler, BC from August 17, 2008 till August 24, 2008. There was absolutely no problem with our reservation or check in process. The lobby is beautiful with a nice view. The front desk acts like a concierge and made arrangements for our 20th wedding anniversary to be at Araxi restaurant in Whistler Village on August 21, 2008, where we had one of the finest dining experiences of our lives. We stayed in a 1 bedroom suite. The room was spacious with lots of closet space and kitchen amenities. There was a washer and dryer in the room with a weeks worth of detergent. The shower and whirlpool bath were both excellent. The bed was very good. My only complaint is that there was no air conditioning in the room. However, we were quite comfortable most of the time due to the climate and the ceiling fans. There were two large flat screen TVs. The furniture was fine. The resort had a clean adults only sauna, Jacuzzi, and small adult swimming pool that were well maintained. There was a very nice movie theater as well. Three movies were shown each evening. A Children’s pool and family barbecue area were also provided. There was also a cozy library with a fireplace. The location was excellent with easy access to walking trails, free transportation, and the gondolas. The maid service came one day during our stay. There was easy access to shopping, restaurants, and all kinds of summer sports. There is no restaurant in the facility but numerous restaurants will deliver to your room if you so desire. There are numerous hotels just a few steps away with both indoor and outdoor dining. There is a large underground parking garage available. The Whistler-Blackomb area seems to be a paradise for mountain bikers, water rafters, fisherman, horseback riding, and kayaks. There is a great deal of construction going on in anticipation of the 2010 winter Olympics. However, this did not distract from the breathtaking scenery. We would not hesitate to return or recommend this resort to our friends.
