Sun Peaks Customer Reviews

Sun Peaks was great, the snow was great, the service provided by the company was excellent. I would check with your bank if you can use your card as the ATMs in the resort are rubbish. The food was for the most part good the deli that sells the bagels is fantastic and fairly good value. We were there over new years 2008/9 and you could still find a quiet piste to relax on. The ski in/ski out is a little poor from the hotels but from the runs it is ok. Make sure you have a warm up run on Granny Greene's as it is a nice mellow piste

A very attractive little resort - pretty buildings and snowy streets - strangely a bit like a theme park. We arrived following a week in Whistler, and were quite surprised by the apparent lack of warmth and friendliness in Sun Peaks. The setting is lovely, the snow is fantastic, the mountains varied and well groomed. However, we found it rather soul-less and this might be due to the quietness of the season (and normally we like quiet places), but one would have expected more of the Canadian hospitality. Many/most of the restaurants and eating places do not open until 5pm which could be a problem, and for those self-catering the little supermarket and its staff leave a lot to be desired. There are several empty shops and premises which probably contributed to lack of atmosphere. This sounds critical, but it could be so much better and could be such a lovely place.

Have just returned from a great holiday thanks to Rupert's advice to choose Sun Peaks over our other list of possibles . Fantastic resort, especially for families, well organised with great website and guest services info. Lots of good eateries, lots of great skiing, lots of great snow too and resort easy to get to. No real queues even though it was 'spring break' - they said it was busy, but after skiing in Europe I can attest to the fact that it was not - we had the mountain to ourselves after that too (we were told to avoid presidents week in Feb to be sure though as it does get very busy then). Great Sports school. Don't have kids but liked the idea of leaving them all day with the ski school where they have lessons and all sorts of other snow activities including lunch for about £150 a week. Ski with guides for free - including world champion Nancy Greene. If you go, you have to try the snowbikes - its a great wheeze and you get a certificate ! Whole trip went very smoothly and was extremely well organised thanks to ski safari

We were going to ski in the US but after considerable contact with Caroline at Ski Safari she advised that based on our requirements Canada would be better. She also recommended Sun Peaks which we had never heard of and suggested a stop in Vancouver at the end and got us a great room there. Sun Peaks was excellent, great hotel (The Delta), great location (ski in/out) and great mountains that were blissfully quiet.
