Trip Review: Vail Summer Getaway

September 30, 2020

The Delatorre Family from Greek Oaks, IL (2 adults and 2 boys ages 16 and 17) traveled to Vail for a relaxing summer getaway.  They stayed at The Sebastian Vail and let us know it was gorgeous!  This upscale property offers hotel rooms, suites, and residences and is located in the heart of Vail Village.  The family enjoyed their spacious Residential Suite and chose the property in part for the expansive heated pool that features underwater benches and a waterfall.  It also has a spa, gym, playroom for young children, restaurant, and a unique art collection that was appreciated by this art-loving family.  In winter, the hotel also offers slope-side ski valet services.  In the summer, outdoor activities abound in Vail.  The family sailed over the forest at the Top of the Rockies zip line in Leadville, went white-water rafting on the Colorado River tackling class IV rapids with Sage Outdoor Adventures and the boys biked down the Vail Pass, the only Colorado mountain pass with a bike path the entire distance on both sides.  This foodie family also appreciated all the fine dining options available and the hotel breakfast by the pool.  Their favorite dining experience was at the Alpenrose Vail with its Alpine chalet vibe complete with waitstaff attired in the old style of a famous South Tyrolean mountaineer. They loved the selection of European beers, fondue, and dishes like beet spaghetti!  Overall a much-needed and relaxing getaway.
