Vail Racquet Club Mountain Resort

The condo was clean and up to date the creekside apartment was a plus. Super close to all the hikes we wanted to. Loved having access to a full gym with super nice steam rooms and sauna in the locker rooms. The out door hot tub and pool was perfect.

Vail Raquet Club was a great option to stay when traveling to Vail. We arrived and the check in process was easy. They have great amenities like a spa and heated pool. We did not have to use our vehicle while we were there because the shuttle to Vail Village was quick and easy on the town shuttle. I will definitely stay at this location when in the area. Highly recommended.

When my family comes into town to visit they always stay at the Vail Racquet club! We love the charming property, and using all the amenities. Great neighborhood for walks and a nice park just around the bend. The bus to vail from VRC could not be more convenient for getting to/from Vail Village. WE LOVE THE VRC!!!

PLEASE READ: I never have written a review, but my experience with Vail Racquet Club Mountain Resort compelled me to share my profound disappointment. I strongly urge potential customers to take their business elsewhere, where compassion and flexibility are valued. My partner and I, both medical professionals, had meticulously planned our first ski trip to Vail. After extensive research, we chose this resort for its appealing amenities beyond just skiing and dining. We were genuinely excited for this much-needed vacation. Unfortunately, 24 hours before our departure, my partner fell severely ill with influenza. Given the highly contagious nature of the flu and our professional responsibility to public health, we made the difficult decision to cancel our trip. We understood the resort's cancellation policy, but we hoped for a compassionate exception, given the circumstances. We provided comprehensive documentation, including medical records, flight cancellation confirmations, rental car cancellations, and proof of canceled ski lift passes and lessons. This was not a frivolous cancellation; it was a necessary decision to protect myself and others staying at the resort. Despite our detailed documentation and earnest request for either a refund or resort credit for a future stay, Vail Racquet Club and Mountain Resort refused to accommodate us. What’s particularly frustrating is that within an hour of our cancellation request, they rebooked our room, which we confirmed with the front desk staff. This clearly demonstrated that they were not facing any financial loss due to our cancellation, effectively profiting from our misfortune. It is true, we did book through a third party, American Airlines Travel, and not directly - but we also have documentation confirming that AA Travel fully understood our situation and advocated on our behalf for a refund or resort credit. Despite AA Travel's efforts and acknowledgment that 'life happens,' the resort dismissed their request. The manner in which we were treated was equally disheartening. The front desk receptionist was dismissive and initially reluctant to allow us to speak with a manager. After repeated requests, we were finally able to speak with Andrew, the operations manager. His demeanor was dismissive and rushed, similar to Kim, the general manager, who also told my partner, ‘I don’t know what to tell you. Talk to your travel insurance – I have a meeting,’ showing a complete lack of empathy or willingness to consider our situation and a general disrespect for their customers." What the resort failed to realize is that this trip was not solely for leisure. We were also considering Vail Racquet Club and Mountain Resort as a potential venue for our family-owned business’s annual company retreat. We were looking for a change from our usual sunny destinations and were impressed by the resort’s amenities, including kids’ tennis, pickleball, and a gym, perfect for our employees and their families. However, the resort’s inflexibility and lack of understanding have irrevocably changed our perspective. Their refusal to offer any form of credit or refund for a $2,000 booking has resulted in the loss of significant future business. We had intended to bring our company and employees to this resort for years to come. Please note that we WILL be visiting Vail in the near future, but our business will be given to any other resort in the area EXCEPT THIS ONE. Their short-sighted decision to adhere strictly to their cancellation policy, even in the face of documented medical necessity, has cost them far more than a simple refund or credit. They have lost not only our business but also the potential business of our company and any other customers and businesses reading this review. I sincerely hope they learn that kindness and flexibility, especially in unforeseen circumstances, are essential for building lasting customer relationships. They should remember that not all guests are trying to take advantage; sometimes, life simply intervenes.

This is my first time staying at Vail. Me and my family are really happy we picked VRC Mountain Resort. This place is neat, warm and cozy. I’m so impressed by its top furnishings and equipments, such as the digitally controlled build-in fireplace heater, digital in-mirror lights, and many other enjoyable details and nice touches. Actually this place has now become a good reason for me and my family to come back to Vail for winter vacations!

Great place to stay in Vail. Very clean and tidy, beautiful fresh towels and bedding. Lots of space. Great heat for winter. Good location without being in the center but buses close by. Scenic and quiet.

This is a condo hotel. I must say it is tired and needs a good update. I felt like I stepped back to 1980. . . . seriously. The studio apartment I had was just awful (outdated furniture, not very clean). The outdoor pool was very nice, and that made up for the poor room quality. Overall, there are better options in the area. .

We stayed in a renovated 3BR townhome. Comfortable. Clean. Modern. The front desk staff (Yahira & Danny), along with Andrew Saad & Wendy Martin, and Kim (General Manager) were superb! Highly recommend VRC!

We stayed here in December 2022 for my bachelorette party. We made a last minute change in the type of condo we wanted, and they were able to quickly accommodate it with no issues. The front desk staff wasn't the kindest when we arrived, but I wouldn't say it was an issue. The condo itself was very nice! We had a big living area, mid-size kitchen with dining room, three bathrooms and four bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms had bathrooms en suite. The kitchen and rest of the condo was equipped with everything we needed! The rooms and beds were super comfortable. The neighbors in nearby condos were super friendly and helped us if we needed anything! The property is dog friendly, but I would check with individual condos for their rules. The plowing wasn't great, we had a difficult time getting around in our rented minivan but it could also have been because it snowed so much while we were there. The heat in our condo wasn't working very well when we arrived and had to call the office a few times before someone came to look at it. The locale was about a 10 or so minute drive to Vail village, even in heavy snow. It was a great choice to stay here as the price is way lower than staying in the village! Overall a great experience and I'd recommend it and stay here again.

We love Vail Racquet Club! We've been visiting since the late 70's. The Club is great! The locker rooms are newly remodeled and are beautiful! They have an awesome 25 meter outdoor pool, yoga, weight room, a lot of tennis courts and more at the Club. There are over 300 condos scattered around the community, including townhouse style and stacked condos. The condos are comfortable and settled into an area that includes gore creek and lots of evergreens. It's not urban. It's mountain oriented. Try it. We love VRC!

Nice apartment for a few nights. However, they make this seem like a very upper class country club, and it is not. It needs a lot of updating. The beds were small and uncomfortable. There is no air conditioning, which I know most places don't have here, but there wasn't an extra fan or anything to try to cool off.

We stayed for a week in mid august and, while the place is well equipped and clean, I really wish that (at least once in my multiple conversation when booking direct) they would have mentioned the lack of AC!!!!! I would have absolutely not taken the third floor loft unit. The place was scorching hot when we arrived a 5pm and could never completely cool in spite of three (LOUD) fans blowing day and night and all windows and front door (yeah, we sacrificed safety for a few degrees less) always open to circulate air. Front desk guy could care less when I shared our concern....Sadly this really put a big dent in our experience here.

These condos are super cute, convenient and clean. The floors can get really cold (as they are stone slab) but just remember your slippers! Plenty of room for a large family and the ambiance is serene and beautiful.

Vail Racquet Club is an amazing hide away in (East) Vail! Dollar for dollar- you will NOT find any place better in Vail! The quality of all the condos exceeds expectations and the views of the creek and the mountains never fail to impress! I have rented from them time and time again because the quality is so high! 1 bedroom, 2 and 3 bedrooms with and without a loft! It doesn't matter - they are all amazing! They told us on this trip that a new restaurant is going to open in a few weeks. It's the West Side Cafe in East Vail! We went and tried the West Side cafe and it was amazing! Another huge upgrade for Vail Racquet Club!! East Vail has a free bus to Vail and Lions Head. Plus we find it to be the perfect jump point to any activities in the area. Vail Racquet Club even got us discounts at Nova Guides for the Top of The Rockies snowmobile adventures! You can never go wrong at Vail Racquet Club!

Okay, I just want to be fair in this review.... the women I interacted with were very sweet and gave me a positive vibe. The one male that was working during the night shift (I think his name was boomer or something close to that), was so rude. My husband and I walked into the facility at 9:27pm to use the hot tub and steam rooms. The male at the front desk notified me that the hot tub closed at 9:45, which was in 17 minutes away, and I told him I was aware and I would be out of the hot-tub by then. After the hot tub (which we got out of by 9:45pm) we proceeded to the sauna and steam rooms. Then we went to change and collect our things when him and a cleaning woman came in harassing us, and I asked if there was a problem and the male staff worker said he was "very clear that we close at 10pm" .... which is simply not true. He told us what time the hot tub closed, not what time the entire facility itself closed. This male worker was very rude and I saw he was only trying to "clock out". He was extremely rude and that's the reason this was three stars instead of five.

Great location, nice pool and hot tubs but couple things could really use improving - the women's locker room smells bad every time I go in it, there's no water on the floor with all the pelotons so you have to walk downstairs to refill mid workout, some of the pelotons go unfixed for awhile, manager isn't that responsive, class schedule could be better, etc. Maybe at least put water bottles in the peloton room if there isn't any other water source.

Nice place to stay and a great place for a summer conference. Comfortable and sizable units with great amenities. The wifi is impressive for a resort.

This was pretty amazing and I love the history of this place. I was expecting tired, old condos but they were all very modern and very comfortable. We wanted a nice little place that was clean. Totally beat what I had in my head about this place. Very affordable and happy with the price considering we were in vail and about to get slammed. Not the case. Took the bus back and forth from ski slopes with no problems. I can't say we took advantage of any amenities but the condos beat my expectations and were perfect. Probably need a few more gallons of hot water if a large family was getting ready but for two we managed just fine.

We were here for a wedding so we had wedding rates, I don't now how different that is from the regular rates but we paid about $125/night for a one bedroom condo. It was nothing fancy, but it was fine. The view was amazing, I walked out right to the stream and it was the perfect weather in may. I just sat by the stream and drank my coffee in the morning and it was so peaceful. The wedding was on the terrace in the main building and it was awesome. The 3 bedroom condos look awesome too! I like the fact that it had it's own kitchen and we just kinda had breakfast and snacks there.

You're not going to get a better gym than this. The heated outdoor pool quality was beyond expectations. They had yoga classes as well. Huge tennis courts. The bedding was great, the kitchen and living room was spacious. Our balcony was over the river rapids so the sound was soothing. Doors were all new and solid. Be ready for stairs. Only issue, you could hear people upstairs. Tiniest bath I've seen in years. Front desk staff were extremely helpful. Very memorable place. Will return for sure. Try the off season for too good to be true rates. Just luxurious. Felt spoiled.

During our yearly visit to Vail staying at the Vail Racquet Club for the first time was quite a disappointment. Upon checking into our 3 bedroom condo we found spider webs in our room , hair in the bathroom, (and on the walls) a broken water filter, dirty dishes (and spiders in the dishes), and screen doors that were broken (so bugs kept coming in) and the place felt pretty run down (the bathrooms were really old) and not clean (scary during covid times) I definitely think there are much better places to stay around vail after coming here for 23 years. Don't waste your money and stay here. It's honestly not up to standard. Pros: the onsite restaurant Heirloom was great and the kitchen in the condo was nice.

The good: Location, gym, spa, bus service to Vail, staff The OK: Rooms, beds, kitchen not fully equipped The bad: Humidifier not working and you need it, fireplace wood was not replenished, no maid service,

My hubby and I stayed here for 5 days for our annual ski getaway. It was our first time in Vail. We were looking at condos in Vail Village but the prices were outrageous, then we found the Racquet club. We called just to ask a few questions and the guy at the reception was so nice and helpful that we ended up booking our room over the phone. Great first impression! Many reviews on the Tripadvisor.com suggested that there are more recently upgraded rooms, so we called a couple of days before check-in and asked for an upgraded room (I highly suggest doing this). We arrived at the Eagle regional airport and rented a car. The lady at the Hertz counter told us that the nearby Costco has great price on liquor and you don't need to be a member to purchase liquor, so we stopped there to load up on some champagne and whiskey. Then we made a stop at City Market (5 mins from Costco, still in the town of Eagle), to buy the rest of our groceries. From Eagle, it took us probably about 40 minutes to get to Racquet Club. They don't have a big sign or anything on Big Horn Road, so it might take you a while to find this place. I would try to arrive before it gets dark out. As requested, we got an upgraded unit and it was beautiful! It was in Building 10, and our unit was facing the creek. We got a 1 bedroom condo and it was a nice size for the two of us (it is definitely spacious for 2 people but it is not big enough for 4 people). There are probably about 15 buildings total and some are more convenient than others. Buildings 10 - 15 are the most conveniently located, close to the main building (front desk and health club) and the shuttle bus stop. If you book directly with the Racquet Club front desk, the fee to use the health club ($10/day) is included in your rate. They don't charge resort fee and the parking is free, so I'd say this is a great value in Vail. The health club has a good size gym with cardio machines, weights, and heated pool, so if you didn't get enough exercise from skiing all day, you can definitely get a good workout on at this gym. I opted for relaxing in the hot tub. The shuttle bus to Vail (this bus takes you to the transportation center in Vail Village) runs every 20 - 30 minutes and it is very reliable. However, it can get super crowded at times. If you want to avoid the crowds, I'd catch one before 8am. It takes 20 - 25 minutes to get to Vail Village. All in all, the Racquet Club is a good value in Vail, and if I visit Vail again, I would probably stay there again. However, walking to the bus stop in full ski gear and riding the shuttle bus to Vail village every morning (and doing the same in the evening after all day of skiing) does get old pretty fast. Just keep in mind that from the time you step out of your condo, it takes at least 45 minutes to get on your first chair lift/gondola. One last thing - this is a great tip I got from a local. Don't try to ride the Vail Village gondola first thing in the morning, because the line there is very long. Go to Lionshead and catch the Eagle Bahn gondola or head to Golden Peak and ride the chair lift up.

I stayed here for the 08-09 ski season. In December when the snowfall was too deep to even shovel out the car, the location proved to be very convenient. Just hopped on the shuttle and within 10 minutes or so we were at the downtown Vail bus stop. The hot tub after a long day on the slopes was amazing. The pool is heated and you can actually comfortably swim in it throughout the winter. My favorite part of the hot tub/pool area was watching the adventurous few that dared to ride the East Vail Chutes. The staff monitors the area fairly closely for alcoholic beverages being brought into the swimming area, they require for beverages to be bought at the club's restaurant. There was a washer and dryer in the unit we stayed in, kitchen had all typical appliances including dishwasher, there was a wrap around deck equipped with a grill, and a view of the creek out back. There is a ski/snowboard closet for gear in a closet off the deck, convenient for keeping wet equipment out of the condo. The best place to grocery shop is in West Vail, which is a little inconvenient to take the bus to. There is a small grocery/liquor store in East Vail, but it is much more expensive. I'd love to stay at Vail Racquet Club in the summer, enjoying the scenery while nestled in the mountains in a such a peaceful location would without a doubt be an amazing time.

As part of a group escaping to the Rockies for a destination wedding, it was nice to have accommodations somewhat predetermined. Less expected was to have such a no-fuss transition from our two bedroom condo the first three nights to a one bedroom after our suite-mates left town early. Check-in and check-out were virtually seamless, and the staff clearly made an effort to help avoid awkward timing that might compromise what little time we had with what little snow was left. Both condos we stayed in were kept clean and comfortable for the duration of our stay and were complete with satellite tv, wifi, kitchenette (fridge, oven, range, and dishwasher as well as basic utensils). High Vail Village prices would persuade me to take more advantage of these amenities on our next visit rather than paying the premium resort restaurant prices. Some of our wedding group complained about noisy rooms, but both of ours were quiet as can be. I wouldn't discount the occasional loud ski-boot clad guest clomping up and down the stairs to other floors, but we were lucky enough to not encounter that issue. While it's not a ski-in, ski-out resort, it's fairly convenient to Vail Village via a free shuttle that runs throughout the day and into the wee hours of the morning (a la 2am). The resort itself is situated in East Vail, which is nearly the end of the line for the shuttle - so while you're almost guaranteed a seat on the bus headed out to the mountain, you'll be smashed like a sardine on the way back around 4pm. It depends on your patience level, but it can make the $25 Village parking not look so bad after getting hit in the head with poles or a toe smashed a few times. It appears they run specials for various occasions throughout the year in addition to giving discounted group rates (weddings, etc), which help make the stay more affordable. Overall, a very pleasant experience and I would definitely consider a return stay.

We've owned a house next to the Racquet Club for at least 23 years, and it's been nice to see the place grow up. What was once a grimy gym w a kind of gross hot tub is now a proper spa w an array of yoga, spin, and Pilates classes, as well as a small, but updated work out area. Lovely heated outdoor lap pool and jacuzzi -- and finally, a restaurant within it that seems to be capable of staying open for more than a season. Not worth making an extra a trip to East Vail, but if you're here, not a bad place to spend some time getting your relaxation on.

From the beginning we got upgraded to a bigger place, because of room needs! Great surprise!!!! Clean facilities. A free shuttle picks you up right at the resort and takes you to Vail village! We didn't have to start our vehicle once while we were there! Swimming pool has a few lanes for people swimming laps. Decent open area for others and nice big hot tub. Everyone was very friendly in Vail. Great experience!

This place is beautiful (obviously, it's in vail...). The staff is pretty solid, they will help you with whatever you need. The townhouses AND the condo's are all pretty nice. You should remember that this isn't like a hotel. You won't get your place cleaned by the staff every day. It's more like a beach house who supplies extra towels each day is all. The bus takes you right into the city, or it's a 6 mile drive uptown, not too bad at all. Definitely will be coming back here at some point!

Bang for your buck, Awesome! Booked the 2 room condo. It was excellent. Fireplace, dinning area, big screen in the bedroom. A large flat panel in the other bedroom. Will definitely stay there again.

Gigged for $177 for new lamp shades after our return home. Our "group" consisted of a 70 yr old Grandfather, a 67 year old Grandmother, a 47 year old Nephew, a 40 year old Daughter, & a 2 1/2 yr old Granddaughter. (As Grandparents, we stayed in the condo & babysat for our 2 skiers.) No drinking whatsoever! Hardly a group that destroys lampshades! I only just "discovered" this charge when cleaning out my spam email. (I had not notice it among our Christmas charge purchases.) We definitely would have returned. The setting was beautiful, the service was fine. But we see this charge as a way to increase the revenue. NOT FINE. We absolutely DID NOT damage anything while there!

Came up here for a tennis weekend getaway. Not sure how much the room cost, but I think it must be a good deal because I we paid $140/person for 2 nights, food, drinks, alcohol and court time. We had a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo. Kitchen was decent, granite counter tops, spacious. Rooms were small, bathrooms were dated and cramped. Everything was clean. There are 9 tennis courts, 4 "clay." Not too many cracks, no lights but the scenery cannot be beat! You're surrounded by Vail! We went in the fall so all the trees were changing colors. Truly a heavenly place to be. I didn't get to try the hot tub or pool, a bummer that they close before 9PM. Our condos are along the creek which is really nice, just prepare to be eaten alive, it's pretty buggy even in fall.

Lodging: Gorgeous setting in scenic East Vail. Fantastically decorated condos including any amenity you may need during your stay. Helpful and polite staff with free coffee in the lobby. Convenient bus facilities. Great restaurant + bar located on property. Health Club: Amazing staff. Clean and new work out facilities. Convenient and quiet location. Free parking and never too crowded. Excellent selection of work out attire in the shop. Overall a total hidden gem in Vail!!

Great place for our wedding and weekends away! Got married on the terrace near the lobby in September 2013. The group manager, Amy Roden, is beyond great to work with. We stayed a few weekends just my husband and I, and the rooms were always fantastic. Not very busy (and discounted prices) outside of ski season which was nice. The pool & fitness, proximity to the free shuttle stop, and Blu's restaurant are all perfect. I'm very glad we picked the racquet club for our wedding and reception venue. It's a beautiful place, and extremely convenient for housing all the wedding guests at very well discounted prices for the amazingly nice townhomes and condos. It was simple to set up catering from the club's restaurant Blu's, which served individual plates of some of the best food ever to each of our guests. And having Amy there to help every step of the way was invaluable. Thanks, VRC!

2 bedroom condo was very nice. However on checkout, I left my phone charger plugged in by the night stand. It took 5 days and at least half a dozen calls to the front desk before they even aknowleged that it was still possibly in the room (even though I told them exactly where it was). I finally gave up on the front desk and called housekeeping directly. JR went to the room and checked and within an hour it was in the mail back to me. Great accomodations, poor service!

We were in Vail for my daughter's wedding and there was a huge group that stayed at Racquet Club. I couldn't have been more pleased with our stay (all of us). The rooms were wonderful and upgraded. Our room faced the creek and it was beautiful. My only regret was that I was so busy with wedding, that I didn't get a chance to sit on balcony and enjoy the breathtaking mountains and creek. I will definitely return to relax and enjoy my stay next time. Staff were friendly and Jamie was very helpful and responded to my emails in a very timely manner. Would highly recommend this place.

Staying in the condos here is like having your very own home to go to after a day on the slopes. That is, if your home is decorated with antlers and animal lamps. It definitely adds to the flavor of the place and makes it very cozy. The particular unit I'm staying in is very cozy and outiftted with just about everything. Be forewarned that the condo is actually smaller than the pictures and floor plan seems to show. Or, it may just seem smaller to me b/c this particular condo has a lot of oversized animal-themed furniture. Also, each condo is individually owned, so each one is decorated differently. The club is really close to the bus stop, which is free and comes by every 15 minutes to take you to Vail Village. The good thing is, the club is one of the first stops, so you get a seat on the bus. The bad thing is, there are a ton of stops, so it takes about 20-30 minutes to get to the village. There is also a pretty large gym that is complimentary for guests. My only gripes so far are that checkout is at 10am. What the heck man? That is freaken early, most checkout times are 11, right? The other thing is, our condo door doesn't face the street, so we had to take this little snow covered walkway down. Let's just say it wasn't exactly fun carrying big heavy luggage plus all of my boarding gear and not being able to roll any of it on the ground.

We love this place. We have stayed here for the past five years (latest is 2012) renting the same condo each time. It's quite a walk up three flights of stairs after skiing but the quiet and solitude make it worthwhile. We also love the access to the bus and the staff is very friendly. In terms of a value location in Vail I don't think you can beat the VRC. Now, if you are going to spend a lot of time doing night life downtown in Vail this might not be the place for you. ymmv. We're a bit older, no kids, and come to ski not party. After skiing we usually have a quiet dinner, watch some tv and get to bed early. Some other day I'll write a review of the restaurant.

Loved the condo and the amenities were perfect for what we were looking for in Vail. It was only a 15 min public bus ride to the village which runs every 15 mins. It was very convenient and about half the cost of staying in the village. We will be back.

Set in a beautiful, quiet area of the valley, the VRC was a great stay for our family of 5 in the summer of 2018. Nice, clean, and comfortable. We were able to play lots of tennis and were introduced to pickleball. It was nice to be able to use the complimentary bicycles to take long rides and explore. The staff was very helpful - directing us to various hiking trails. Down side (or upside) - this location was far from the main Vail Village, so we had to get in the car pretty much whenever we wanted to do some eating or shopping, etc. We had a dinner at the restaurant "Blu" which was very good and reasonably priced - especially in comparison to the restaurants in Vail. I would definitely go back to VRC and would recommend it to friends.

Stayed Here With My On A Cross Country Road Trip, and I really wish I could give this place 10 Stars! We arrived at 11pm one night after close, it was about 55 degrees outside, and we just drove in from California. I called the overnight service, the directed me to get a key immediately. When we entered the room, we could not have been more pleased. The Decor was Wonderful, the Furniture was comfortable, and the amenities were plentiful ! The Kitchen Had Granite countertops and was fully stocked with silverware, glassware and everything you can think of even down to dishwasher soap. There were two room. Our kids were extremely excited about heir bunk beds. The bathrooms were clean and cutting edge, there is a Beautiful Long Balcony, and nice front porch with BBQ Pit and Front patio seating also. I can go on and on, but just look at the pictures, they are so great but they don't do the place justice! Bro, the customer service is WONDERFUL!!!! One more thing, bring groceries or something, because the city shuts down at 10. Luckily, the friendly locals directed me to a great Local Joe'' pizza Resturant! Definitely Worth it!!!!!

Our visit at VRC was sub-par. The website boasts about the size and updated nature of the condos and we found this not to be the case. We were told we were staying in the "platinum" series building, but it was nearly 30 years old and really in need of updating. It was also very small. The site advertised ~600 sqft. We were at about 400 max. The radiators and heating system were dysfunctional and you had to crank the heat to get the room above 65. The bathroom drains didn't drain the sink or tub and worst of all, the bed should have been replaced a decade ago. It was lumpy and we folded I to the middle all night. Upside - the pool and gym are quite nice and they have lots of equipment with which to work out your back cramps. Advice - know exactly what kind of room you are getting before you arrive.

This place sucks. Promised amenities that they did not have ability to deliver. Don't stay. Rude staff. Dirty Room. Smelled bad.

Spent a great summer weekend in one of the townhouses. The accommodations were excellent - very comfortable, very convenient and the staff was completely friendly. I would definitely return.

My parents are members and I had a massage here while I was in town visiting. A hour massage is $70-90 depending on type and membership (or not). The receptionist brought me down to the locker room, showed me where to put my things, gave me a robe to change into and showed me where to go. I changed and wandered down to the private massage waiting room. There were some comfy chairs and magazines to keep me occupied. Soon enough the masseuse was ready (after she changed all the linens and cleaned the private room - A+ for cleanliness). The massage was excellent - she kept asking me how much pressure she could use and she was very knowledgeable about massage. She talked my ear off but I imagine that if I'd kept quiet she would have also.

This would have received 4 stars, but the constant problem with maintenance crews playing loud music is a big issue. My neighbors & I have all complained, which results in a 24 hour music cessation, but then it's right back to loud music the next day. Pros: Great on-site fitness center, friendly employees, great pool and hot tubs, location, and property is well maintained! Cons: Noise! Employee music, loud talking/yelling, and storing equipment by apartment windows results in early morning wake ups. Parking can also an issue.

Not bad...Rented a condo for a ski weekend and we stayed here. The shuttle stops super close by and it is about a 25 min ride to the mountain. Nice facilities to go for a swim or soak in the hot tub after a long day skiing ($10 extra a day). I heard they even have a couple of people on site for massages. The condos that we stayed in were dated, but we didn't need anything fancy for a boys ski weekend.

Great location and great amenities. Hot tubs and heated outdoor pools after a tough day skiing. Nice chalets. Definitely better than staying in a hotel or motel if you can get yourself an your friends one for a season.

Pros - more reasonably priced than most hotels/resorts in Vail Village. Free parking with free shuttle bus to Vail Mountain (or you can drive and park for $25 at garage). Staff is friendly. Nice pool and hot tub. The on-property restaurant Blu's is surprisingly good. Units have small kitchens so good with kids. Cons - not "high end" units (very '70's architecture with exterior/outdoor staircase and somewhat tired furnishings and hallways). Located in East Vail about a 10 minute drive to Vail Mountain. Health club locker room is poorly designed/tired. Not much shopping and few restaurants in East Vail.

I would suggest paying more and staying in the village or lionshead. It was kinda annoying taking the shuttle around. There was no WiFi and the front desk person was kinda of idiot. He said there was WiFi in some of the condos but he didn't know the passwords. Everyone there was quite older; I didn't want to be hit on in the hot tub by someone old enought to be my dad. That's why staying in the village would be better. The room was alright. The front desk didn't tell us the correct way to get in our room it only had access from the back which was also inconvenient. Overall it was OK but just out of the way.

This is our fourth Christmas holiday spent at the Racquet Club. This year, just like every other year, the unit and grounds were in perfect condition. even though we had snow and ice on the roads, the crew made sure gravel was spread out so that our car could navigate the conditions. Plenty of firewood, and everything in the unit worked just like home. Thanks for another great christmas. See you next year.

Vail, Colorado is definitely a dream for every skier, this popular resort consistently hits the top of folks' lists for best ski area while at the same time taking hits for being too pricey and over hyped. The Vail Racquet Club is the perfect answer and already an insider tip for every Vail visitor. Vail Racquet Club is only a fifteen-minute drive from the center of Vail. Easy to travel to and from using the free town shuttle bus that runs approx every twelve minutes. What you find is a little sanctuary away from the the huzzle and buzzle. After a day of vigorous skiing I couldn't wait getting back to my lovely and cozy condo. The Vail Racquet Club is more than a club, more than a hotel; it's a little sanctuary. The lovely staff makes you feel right at home. The Club facilities are amongst the best in all Vail. There is a huge outdoor heated pool, indoor and outdoor hot tubs, gym, onsite restaurant and bar. The Bistro Restaurant is a local favorite. ...A wonderful place to stay, maybe they should change to name to Vail Sanctuary, whatever it is, I will be back! www.glamtravelandfashion.com

We had a group staying at VRC for the 2015 World Alpine Ski Championships for two weeks. The entire staff of VRC was excellent and the accommodations were well received by our group. Great job!
