  • May 1, 2003
  • Rated 4 of 5 by Erben from Glendale, Arizona
Best Things Nearby:
Skiing and good eats.

Best Things About the Resort:
Comfortable and centrally located.

Resort Experience:
It was a very nice resort. Comfortable for the ladies (spa-like activities all around), the guys (lots of skiing, pubs, and gambling), and the children (they could run around and play without disturbing anyone). The resort is centrally located so you are close to everything and the room was comfortable to hang out in.

Embassy Suites Resort Lake Tahoe

  • July 3, 2002
  • Rated 3 of 5 by twisty7867 from Manhattan, New York
I was surprised to find that the hotel had a very warm, ski-lodge-like appeal (typically Embassy is a more cold, businesslike chain). The check-in staff were friendly and the process was very speedy. The room was fairly large, and well appointed in typical high-end Embassy style. The breakfast and happy hour were also very satisfactory.

The Embassy Suites in South Lake Tahoe has many great things going for it. It is a large, atrium style hotel that has a big chain feel when you first walk in, but you''ll soon be feeling right at home.

We stayed in a suite with a king bed and a separate room with a fold out couch for our son. I would highly suggest this type of sleeping arrangement for anyone traveling with kids. While there was a TV fully equipped with video games in our living room, there was also a TV in the master bedroom so there were no fights over evening viewing. There was a fully stocked mini-bar and refrigerator as well as a microwave. There was a VCR and Pay-Per-View. One evening after a hard day of skiing, we had a great time in the suite as a family eating popcorn and watching a good movie together.

I would say that the carpet and furniture in our room looked a little worn, but that is really the ONLY negative I can say about this resort. What struck me the most about this Embassy Suites was the INCREDIABLE service. I forgot my toothbrush. A new one was there within two minutes of calling housekeeping. Room rates included a SPECTACULAR, COOKED breakfast each morning. We really enjoyed the selections of fruit, eggs, pancakes, french toast, etc.... This was a big change from the bagel many hotels offer to start your day. Also, there are FREE drinks in the afternoon---as many as you want---on the second floor for about two hours. I really learned to like having a Mountain Breeze (a Skyy Vodka and lime slushy concoction) in the hot tub while my son swam in the pool.

The Embassy Suites also has a sauna and workout room. The exercise room consists mostly of treadmills (it''s hard to run in the ice!) and stairmasters. Another service I really enjoyed was getting a deep tissue massage as a present from my husband on Valentine''s Day. He simply made a reservation with the concierage, and a massage therapist came at the appointed time and set up a table in our room. Services range from $70-$160, and things such as mud wraps are offered in addition to massages. This is a great thing to indulge in after skiing or snowboarding!

Also, a block away from the hotel well within walking distance is a gondola that will take you to the top of Heavenly Valley Ski Resort (see separate Gondola Entry).

I would highly recommend the Embassy Suites Resort Lake Tahoe to anyone who wants to enjoy a family vacation.

El Ocotal

This is a remote resort. The nearby village has no paved roads. The people are basically friendly but the language barrier can be a problem. The resort is built on the side of a hill that drops right into the Pacific. Quite a climb to get from my bungalow to the dining area but the view is great. The resort is circled by a wall and a guard is posted at the entrance. I didn''t feel threatened but the explanation I heard was to keep out trinket peddlers. This is not for someone who frequents Club Med.
