Sandstone Creek Club

Best Things Nearby:
Vail village is directly across the highway. A nice shopping mall is right down the frontage road. We bought groceries at Safeway and the prices were reasonable.

Best Things About the Resort:

The service was great. Everything we asked for was accommodated. We needed ice, and a big bag was supplied on the spot. We needed a humidifier, and it was provided within 10 minutes....someone brought it to our room, which was very nice even though he didn't speak hardly any English. His name was Jorge (Hor-hay) and he was a nice guy. The humidifier helped with our dry-nose problems since we're not used to the rocky atmosphere. We come from swampy, 10,000 lakes Minnesota.

I asked for a map of the Vail area and the desk clerk made a copy for me. Check-in took about 10 minutes. I was the only customer in the lobby. I had brought my e-mailed confirmation printout from RCI and the clerk was impressed with the "exact" information which RCI provided about the type of room that I had reserved. Bring that with you! It really expedited the check-in process.



Resort Experience:

The room was very clean and tastefully decorated. We enjoyed the gas fireplace on chilly evenings. We visited during the first week in October 2005 and had fantastic weather. Sunny, warm days and autumn cool evenings.

There are two thermostats. One for the living area and another for the bedroom and a heat lamp in the bathroom. Our room faced the back of the resort, which had a rocky stream not even 20 feet from our first floor private patio. We sat on the patio quite a bit and enjoyed the stream, mountain views, and the unique fragrances of autumn in the air.

The nights during this time of year were so quiet at the resort that it was almost eerie. Many times I walked the halls on my way to here or there and didn't pass another person. I loved it!

The resort is small, 64 units, and quiet and peaceful don't even begin to describe it. I enjoyed the library on the upstairs level -- stocked with books and board games. I was the only visitor up there. It was a typical library atmosphere. Dusty and creaky, just my style. The sauna, steam room, and pool were refreshing.

It was a relaxing and wonderful place to spend our 3 days/nights. We also took a day trip to Aspen, which was an incredible ride through the mountains. The activities were limited, however, they did offer something each day which we didn't take advantage of...a guided hike in the mountain, candy-bingo, and a barbeque. There are elevators in the buildings, and we did take advantage of them, since we weren't used to the thinner air. We're from the flat Midwest! The trek to our unit from our car was not very far either! Huff and Puff were our nicknames during our visit.

Best Things Nearby:
Lots of wonderful scenery, hiking, white-water rafting, museums, shopping, and the upscale towns of Vail and Beaver Creek. There's lots of mining, outlaw and cowboy history, and several ghost towns. This is the real Wild West!

Best Things About the Resort:
The indoor and outdoor pools are connected, and you can swim under a wall from one to the other. Hot tubs, sauna, steam baths, racquetball, etc. Our condo led out to a grassy yard with a wonderful creek.

Resort Experience:
Our unit had just been redone. It is the largest unit that we have been in in our 5 years of trading timeshares. The bedrooms were extremely spacious. There was lots of closet space and humidifiers for each bedroom, since it is so dry there. Great kitchen. Three TVs.

Best Things Nearby:
Skiing on the mountains was the top activity.

Best Things About the Resort:
The atmosphere was beautiful, and it was clean and full of indoor activities.

Resort Experience:
This resort/club was definitely luxury. They offered breakfast, lunch, and dinner the second day of your stay.

The condo we stayed in had an upstairs and downstairs and was big enough for 8 to 10 people. These huge, quiet condos are beautifully furnished. The condo had three bathrooms, a fireplace, a laundry room, etc. The balcony had great view of the mountains, where you could see people skiing and animals such as deer, rabbits, etc.

Most indoor activities were free, so you don't have to spend extra money on the children, except for the arcade games, which where reasonably priced.

This has a romantic atmosphere for couples and a peaceful atmosphere for anyone who just wants to get away. I would go back in a heartbeat. This would be in the top 10 of my recommendations if I knew anyone going to Vail.

Best Things About the Resort:
It had some great amenities to enjoy such as a wonderful indoor/outdoor pool, Jacuzzis, sauna, library, free videos, and it was close to town. A supermarket was just down the road.

Resort Experience:
It's an older resort but well maintained. It's cozy with a fireplace in the living room. Small balcony, homey furnishings. They even included two humidifiers for the dry air found in Vail. The front desk help was always ready to help. We used the pool and sauna every day. There was never any pressure to do a presentation, they had a BBQ one day (cost $3) that had representatives passing out information from area activities such as horseback riding, jeeps tours, and rafting. The only small negative thing I would mention is that the twin beds in the second bedroom were not the most comfortable.

Best Things Nearby:
Vail Valley has several cute shops, restaurants, and library. Gondola rides were free Thursday through Saturday nights in the summer. Free parking in the summer, and free bus transportation around the Valley. The mountains were beautiful, completely surrounding the resort.

Best Things About the Resort:
Very clean and well stocked unit. Pool and exercise rooms were all close to the units. No long walk to any spots. Free video rentals, could choose from hundreds of movies.

Resort Experience:
The resort is not really very big. The outside looks more like a hotel. The unit was what I would expect though. The indoor part of the pool isn't very large, but you can swim into the outdoor pool and that pool is much larger. The water was a VERY nice temperature. The employees there were extremely nice and helpful.
