Fairmont Retreat is a paradox…premium tariff and pitched as one of the places to stay, yet it is tired, and below the mark of a premium place to stay. While there are amazing views, there is limited selection in the bar and wine list. No mini bar options and inadequate in-room dining options. We won’t stay again.

Great location, staff well trained overall experience very satisfying. Property in need of serious refurbishment, last stayed 1997 and doesn’t appear much has changed…. Riding on the back of Blue Mountain location to draw the business from young families, even this market will slow if consideration to capital investment is forthcoming.

First off got the worst room at the bottom looking up at the pool wall, then was upgraded. Overall place needs a face lift, upgrade. Balcony window frames block vision of the mountains at eye level. Rooms need balconies. Back of house and all exhaust hoods should not be on the mountain view side, noisy and can hear in the rooms and the lights are left on which should be on sensors. New fridges needed and Mini bar options. Pool bed/chairs were broken. Bistro was the best though and high light.
