This was our 3rd trip to Vail Spa. We had stayed there twice with our ski club and liked it so much we returned with two other couples. The three bedroom condos have three nice sized bedrooms, two with attached baths and one with a bathroom across the hall. There is plenty of room for all of your ski gear and beds can usually be put together for a king or seperated into two twins. There is a secure ski locker just off the lobby and a closet on the bottom floor of each condo unit to accommodate boots, helmets, gloves and other ski gear.They will provide a van to a nearby City Market or Safeway for grocery shopping and there is a shuttle bus across the street for the 3 minute ride to the Lionshead gondola if you don't like to walk any distance in ski boots. Bus line also will take you to Vail village or any stops in between. There is a nice sized indoor pool and hot tub as well as an outdoor hot tub and heated pool. The staff is extremely courteous and quick to fix any problem. They replaced a broken hairdryer for us in a few minutes. The kitchens are well supplied with utensils, pots etc. We like to cook in and made some fantastic meals. Plenty of diverse restaurants in Vail and in Lionhead as well. We have skied in Europe, all over the west and the east and Vail Spa is probably the most comfortable and accommodating resort we have stayed in.

We had the pleasure to stay for 7 nights at Vail Spa. For a family of 7, the location cannot be beaten. The front door of Vail Spa is literally 75 feet from the Vail "In Town" bus. This bus line will take you into Lion's Head and Vail and when the kids get tired at the end of a long day playing and eating in Vail, you will love the quick drop off.

Our family looks for accommodations that allow us opportunities for variety. Vail Spa has an outdoor pool and an indoor pool. There is a tennis court on the property which is well maintained. Within 3 blocks you can rent bicycles and within 8 blocks there is a large park with an extensive play area, a basketball court and a large soccer/frisbee etc field.

Vail Spa itself is well appointed with clean, well decorated rooms. The rooms that we have stayed in over the last few years have full kitchens, multiple televisions and plenty of space to relax.

All in all, a great getaway in Vail Colorado.

Spacious accomodations very close to restaurants and gondola. Very nice pool and hot tub. Staff were friendly. Low key atmosphere. Noise from nearby construction was a minor distraction.

The pictures on the "Vail Spa Condominiums" website (http://www.vailspa.com/) are vastly superior to the room (313) we were tucked into on our arrival. 313 in no way could class-up to the site's pics. Here's our take: totally outdated; a condo in some sort of awkward transition concerning furniture, artwork, amenities, etc. Well outdated and the carpeting was from the 1980s for sure. We rent a condo because we like to eat in and the kitchen was awful--no napkins, trash compactor not working, nor the oven; dishes/glassware/cooking utensils were not meant for anyone wanting to actually prepare a meal. Bedrooms were quite separated, but there was construction going on just outside. With NO A/C, we were subjected to daytime and nighttime I-70 road noise as windows had to be open to sleep at all. Slept very poorly due to this constant traffic noise. They did not provide regular coffee, bubble bath (it is supposed to be a SPA!), washing powder, etc. Some days the dish washer was emptied, other days not. I had to ask to have the main bath's water plug replaced. Pool area was clean and mostly peaceful Staff were always very nice, however. Get the owners to update if they expect repeat business and happy renters....
And, VAIL was spectacular in summer!
