The Westin Riverfront Mountain Villas, Beaver Creek Mountain

I've stayed at a few properties in the Vail/Breckenridge/Avon area and this is my favorite so far. I have not stayed at the Ritz or Grand Hyatt in Vail and those may change my mind but I digress. It's worth noting that there are only a little over 30 villas available at the vacation club property so booking here during ski season is very difficult. I stayed in a 1 BR villa on the 3rd floor with a view of the gondola. The bathroom was really nice with a separate soaking tub and walkin shower. The sofa has a short back and made it awkward to lean back on. That was my only critique of the villa. It's true that the vacation club building has no amenities. I chose to walk through the garage to get to the hotel building rather than walking outside. The 3 large outdoor hot tubs made the effort worth it. The hot tubs here are better than the other ski properties I have stayed at. It's also true that the property is not on the Beaver Creek mountain. I was here the week before the gondola was running. While there are numerous free shuttle and bus options, I chose to drive and park at the mountain for convenience. The drive is not far at all. I also attended a sale meeting. I did not feel pressured. I was looking for an option that would ideally guarantee me a ski week here or improve my chances, but since they are not selling weeks anymore, there are no options to guarantee a reservation. I passed on making a purchase. Beaver Creek turned out to be really fun even though the mountain was partially open during early December. I would love to come back again and would even stay at the nearby Sheraton Mountain Villas (while clearly a downgrade, the property is fine) if the Westin Riverfront is not available.

Awesome! What great customer service. The villas are beautiful and the people are so nice. The room is fabulous. Didn’t try the hot tube are pool but many people were enjoying . Just minutes away from Vail village and Lionshead. This is worth the stay and trip, will be bringing the family back for vacation.

As i write this workers installing ice cube maker in my room. Wake up every morning to sound of construction and heavy deliveries. You get to move from one room to another due to construction. Lost two days out of seven days due to construction move. I was place on a newly renovated floor on second day. Clue should have been the hardboard lined elevator cabs. Rooms missing appliances, missing furniture and overall rushed build out. Hallways smell of fresh paint. Workers are nice but managers and management could care less. No offer of compensation for disruption of our stay. I am a Westin Vistana Owner, very disappointed with my stay. Signs say under construction until summer of 2024. I am not only one. Saw one other guest moving his things in a laundry basket to a room across the hall. When i asked he stated too many things just did not work in his renovated room. This was supposed to be a finished floor.
