The Four Seasons Whistler undoubtedly lives up to its luxurious reputation – stunning views, impeccable rooms, and top-notch amenities. However, there were a few quirks that added some unexpected flavor to our stay.
First off, the pool area, while beautifully maintained, could use a bit of a vibe check. The music selection made it feel more like a spa retreat than a lively alpine escape – maybe they’re going for zen, but a little more energy wouldn’t hurt!
Then there was the hot tub… Let’s just say floating ants are not exactly the type of company I envisioned while soaking. A bit of a buzzkill, but hey, maybe they’re trying to offer an authentic “nature meets luxury” experience.
Speaking of buzz, the pool boy tried to overcharge us on espresso martinis – perhaps he thought caffeine should come at a premium in the mountains? Thankfully, we caught it and settled the bill without issue.
The cherry on top was the quest for e-bikes. We were ready to cruise the trails, but apparently, the concierge was in an “important meeting” and couldn’t be interrupted. We waited for a callback that never came, so we ended up renting e-bikes elsewhere at a cost of $220!
Despite these hiccups, the overall experience was still exceptional. The staff (when available) were friendly, the rooms were divine, and the location is unbeatable. Just a few tweaks could really take this place from great to flawless!
