We recieved a promotional "four day" three night vacation for the hillside villas, thinking that we couldnt go wrong with a "free" vacation. Not quite. Unless you are into golfing or tennis hardcore there is nothing to do unless you want to drive awhile to get there.

General Conditions The area surrounding the unit, in particular the steps and the outside vestibule were filled with bird droppings from the swallows that had nests in the rafters. Some of the steps had torn pieces of cardboard,... more

Fairmont Resorts - The location is ideal. It is in the Kootenay Area of British Columbia and as such is close to several British Columbia/Alberta National Parks.

The amenities at the Recreation center are free, including pool and hot tubs. There are also the spa and hot springs nearby for a reduced fee if you are staying at the Villas. Just down the trail... more
