VILLAGE SUITES BLUE MOUNTAIN RESORT

We had a little suite with a one bedroom and full little kitchen, with pull out couch. It was just two of us (a cousin weekend away) and it worked so perfectly to be able to make breakfast in the morning but be so close to everything in the village for all the out of room dining. The pull out couch is possible quite old, but it wasn’t too bad and as the one who slept on it I didn’t mind it. A smart tv would have been nice to be able to stream some of our regular shows and desired movies at night but if you brought an hdmi cord and laptop you would be all set! You also get a couple of attractions included with your stay so make sure to take advantage of that when you stay!

Grand Georgian suites did not disappoint. A two bedroom suite with a great view of the mountain. The layout of this room was amazing and the kitchen was great … except for knives … if you like to cook like I do bring your own sharp knives because the ones they provide are cheap and dull which makes them unsafe to use. The couple of missing basics for the kitchen were also a bit frustrating for the first night but I added two items for the next guests that will be helpful I feel. Would have been an easy 5 stars if the kitchen items were more on point (my two cents of course). We will be back someday soon.

Now I read a lot of reviews and tried to gauge why everyone had to become a travel critic and cut stars for obvious stuff. 1 if you book at any of the suites available in the village, it is kinda your responsibility to follow the instructions on how to check-in and where to go for check-in. Same goes for parking as well. You get parking permits when you check-in and the process is quite simple. You get emails on all the instructions you need for your check-in and parking before your booking start date 2 it is your responsibility to check the weather if you’re planning for the activities such as Ridge runner coaster, Wind rider triple zips, Skywalk High ropes challenge and more. The team ensures those are working with 100% safe conditions at all times. 3 the staff is really friendly and would be very happy to assist you should you have any questions or concerns. If you need anything or even have simples questions like I did, they treat you well and answer them comfortably. (Kudos to the reception team at the Grand Georgian, you guys were great) 4 Room service is prompt and fast - I had a table lamp bulb no working and it was replaced within 5 minutes of me mentioning it in the ALTO digital concierge service. My wife’s birthday was the same day we checked in at the Weider lodge, they had a small gift from the candy shop ready for her, it is the minor details that counts. She was really happy to see the gift. The TV does not have smart options but then again I really feel you didn’t come to the blue mountains just so that you can binge watch the latest episodes of the Stranger Things. They have fireplace in the suite and the thermostat is quite responsive with the temperature changes. The sofa, bed and the chairs are much comfortable. Those are not the standard ones you get at furniture stores that give up after 2 years, quite durable and made from wood. Construction was under way just below my suite and so long as I closed the windows I couldn’t hear a thing. With the booking also covering activities such as agora path of light , canopy climb and the gondola , you can go for hiking at one of the many trails available at top of the mountain.
