We had a fantastic family ski trip at Hamlet, where the rooms were spacious and perfect for our group. The views from our room were stunning, especially while enjoying the proximity to the slopes. However, the indoor pool could use some improvements as it felt a bit underwhelming compared to the rest of the resort. Overall, the experience was wonderful, and the amenities met our needs well.

My stay at Crystal Mountain was filled with mixed experiences. The impressive range of activities, from the alpine slide to a zip-lining course, kept my family entertained for days, and the staff was consistently friendly and helpful. However, the room left much to be desired in terms of cleanliness, and the dining options felt limited and overpriced. Overall, it was an enjoyable family getaway, but the room condition and food quality could certainly improve.
