Full Review:
I was not expecting much from Fairmont Tremblant. A ski resort that I was visiting during the summer. This reminded me of my past visits to Talisman and Blue Mountain. The trips there were dull and boring. So when I arrived at the hotel after a long day of exploring in Montreal, I was greeted with a beautiful view overlooking the village and the hotel we stayed at. When checking in, the valet and the secretary (person who helped us check in) were nice and helped us accordingly. Receiving our keycard and arriving at the fourth floor, we found our door and opened it. The room is nice and was better than I expected (see photos of room 1 and 2). The rooms are not as luxurious as Mandalay Bay or Trump Hotel, but they are passable. The bathroom is average (not as nice as Harbor Grand in Hong Kong). After we got WiFi (it is not free, but if you join their club, it is complementary), we went down to the village walk and ate at an Italian restaurant (see photos of pasta and pizza).
The next day, me and my family took trips on the gondola to the top of the mountain (tickets can be purchased at a ticket office). The view from the top of the mountain were amazing and breathtaking. Seeing the sites of nature takes you away from the problems and keeps you relaxed. After walking around and taking pictures around the mountain, we stopped at the lodge and had lunch. I had pasta, bread and sprite and my brother had the burger and the fries. The best part of the lunch is the viewing the mountains and forest from the mountain top from where we ate. When dumping my plastic plate, I accidently also threw out the silver fork provided (the fork had a designated bin to place) =) . Really embarrassing. After the funny moment, we took the gondola back down to the village walk (see photos of village walk/map) and took more photos. We then went swimming in the pool. It was not the best pool but still was fun. Hungry and ready for food, we got ready for dinner and ate at a fine-dining steakhouse (see photos of trout filet and others). The trout was below my expectations of fine dining and my brother said the beef was average. After dinner, I got back to the hotel and finished my night by watching Rookie Blue on Global TV and watching YouTube videos.
The final day, I woke up and started packing to check-out of the hotel. After finishing my pack up, we checked out and the valet quickly got our car. Our great stay at the hotel finally ends.
My stay at the hotel was great. It exceeded my expectations and for that I give it four stars. If only the food was better, the review would be five stars. Overall, I am glad to have stayed at Fairmont Tremblant. I recommend this hotel looking to visit Quebec.
