What's it like at Vail resort?
Vail will bring you what is, arguably, the best vacation experience in the world. The mountain offers virtually everything from the Lionshead cruisers to the, justifiably, famous Back Bowls. The new Blue Sky Basin has catapulted Vail back to the top of the heap in virtually everyone's opinion. The Bavarian-like Village at the base is pedestrian-friendly and charming. The shopping is upscale. There are more than 150 lodging options that provide for all tastes and budgets including hotels, bed and breakfast inns, homes, and condominiums. There are also a number of quaint villages and towns nestled in the Vail Valley, where you can find the perfect place to stay with exactly what you are looking for.

Visitor Reviews of Vail
Todd Chamberlin from United States writes:
Of all the companies I have ever dealt with Vail Resorts is among the worst. They honestly do not care about their customers, all you are to them is a dollar figure and they will cycle to the next victim. The skiing might be great, but there are other resorts that actually care about their customers.
