We have stayed in all the top chains the last few years with the family and I promise you, Stock Resort beats them all.||They really just think of everything:||1. Facilities are second to none -| a. The kid's facilities (indoor motor bikes, skate parks, trampoline parks, aqua parks, water slides, climbing walls etc. etc.)| b. Teens covered as well with football, basketball, arcades, pool tables| c. Spas for Adults - best I have seen in Austria (where they are the best anywhere), but they also have spaces for kids and for families. So much choice and never feel crowded.| d. Skiing right on the hill with ski shop attached to hotel. Of course there is a glacier a short drive a way as well for skiing anytime of year!| e. Great bar, lounge areas, live music, DJ's, restaurant.| f. Rooms all excellent, large, outdoor space, modern. There is nothing in this hotel that isn't maintained. They re-invest for 4 weeks every April and it shows.|g. Great gym, group classes, itinerary of so many activities both inside the hotel and on the mountains.||2. Service is excellent but anchored by the Stock Family who are omnipresent, always smiling, dressed to impress and seem to always be aware of every tiny detail of every guest. Despite what is presumably industry leading training we are happy to see how many of their staff return year after year.||Also great, the long hours for everything. Breakfast starts early but goes until 11am. Kids Club goes to 10pm at night unlike almost any of the big 5 star chains. Kids can get lunch and dinner with the kids club at 12:30 or 6:30pm if the parents want to ski more, stay in the spa or have a drink after dinner.||3. Endless Events and Activities. Whether the weekly kitchen party, the DJ night, live music, amazing New Years or the scheduled activities throughout the day. You could stay a month and not get bored.||To be clear - Stock is family friendly but it is no kids hotel, it has everything and the adults only areas are exceptional.||The clientele is mainly European and sophisticated. You don't see track pants, hoodies and baseball caps - people dress well for dinner.||The food is endless, with incredible choice, great variety and catering to all special needs (vegan, veg, gluten, lactose etc.)||One criticism is some discipline is needed not to eat too much...!||We have been going to Stock Resort for almost 10 years as a family (I am Canadian and my wife is Austrian). We try other places (Maldives, Bahamas, Florida, Tulum etc. etc.) but for the family we just end coming back to Stock Resort.||Let's put it another way - we have tried so many places, at the highest luxury budgets and Stock Resorts remains our first pick. My kids (9 and 7) call it their "Favourite Hotel in the World".||My main issue writing this review is I risk turning too many people on to our great Austrian secret - but I believe the Stock Family's exceptional "Home Away from Home" needs to be acknowledged. Danke!!
