Spent a Saturday night recently in the resort and had mixed feelings of the break! Despite being booked for the 4 seasons we were allocated to the Highland hotel on arrival. Disappointing start, even although reception informed us this was an upgrade! Like others on here we decided to have a small refreshment and found there were no bars in... more

The swimming pool and facilites were great,... more

With fond memories of Aviemore, ranging from school trips to the Youth Hostel, family holidays to the Coylumbridge right through to working trips to the Stakis Four Seasons hotel, I can only admit to being heartbroken when I visited Donald MacDonalds Highland resort! What a terrible, terrible collection of hotels he has in Aviemore. We were visiting to do the... more

As an Australian this complex would be great for sunny Queensland, but not Scotland, the long walks for breakfast & tea (dinner) both at different sites, with little signage to show patrons the way. Good thing the weather was reasonably fine. more

Inadequate bar services, limited choice dinner menu. Breakfast was available from 7.30 only after complaints that 8.00 was too late to make our Golf tee off times. We returned from Golf at 3.15PM no bar services available whatsoever. Bar staff were friendly and efficient, explained when they arrived that the normal start time for them was 4.00PM, Central book in... more

Service standards at all levels was unacceptable. Our group was split into 2 different hotels. Disgraceful. We were made to go to another hotel for breakfast, where they didn't even have a note of our names. The management is apalling. The locals say the place is worse than Fawlty Towers. Arrange a mortgage if you want a drink. Never again! more

I agree with an earlier review: you get what you pay for. The rooms are small and bog standard but we found the service to be excellent (especially main desk - nothing was too much trouble) and the main retaurant to be better than expected and the chef and waiters were able to easily deal with special dietary requirements without... more
