Sunpath Condos by Whistler Retreats

We loved this apartment. It has an EXCELLENT location, a large comfy couch and dining table, full kitchen, washing machine and dryer, and a large main bedroom with ensuite. We loved the hot water and good water pressure. There was an ample supply of toilet paper, clothes washing powder, dishwasher tablets etc provided. The neighbourhood was quiet, yet we could easily walk to all parts of the village. The onsite free parking was a big bonus. This was a warm apartment with tvs in each bedroom - great after big days out. Extra towels were provided. There's a great spa bath in the ensuite bathroom. We loved the keypad entry to the apartment - no concern about sharing or losing keys! My parents, partner and I all lived very comfortably together for a week in this apartment, without any concerns regarding noise (noise from the downstairs level didn't seem to travel upstairs too much).

The ventilation fan in the main bathroom could not be switched off (it appears to have been disconnected from the switch that is on the wall) and was noisy. I am not a light sleeper, but the fan's noise travelled into the main bedroom and I found it hard to sleep. The hot tub's pump added to this noise, as the tub is on the balcony outside of the main bedroom. I was able to somewhat reduce the noise of the main bathroom's fan by closing the ensuite bathroom's door (the noise entered the bedroom through a wall that connects the main bathroom to the ensuite). The noise wasn't a deal breaker for me but should be considered by anybody who sleeps lightly. One other consideration is the stairs. There are two sets of stairs. No toilets are on the same level as the kitchen, lounge room and dining levels. This might be a problem for anybody who is injured - my mother rolled her ankle the day before we arrived and found the stairs difficult. For everybody else, they weren't an issue.

Convenient location

The toilet ran constantly and the sink faucet was loose

Walking distance to everything, had its own hot tub, loads of supplies in the kitchen, inside was very clean. Was exactly as shown in photos

Not very good air flow. It was very hot upstairs. Beds were not that comfortable (maybe change the pillows). The outside patios were pretty dirty

Great location, the place is a little older, no AC was a big mistake on our part and made it very uncomfortable at night, and would have been nice to have at least one king bed in one of the rooms, pool area was nice but small with not the greatest chairs for hanging out.

Amazing location! The management company was very responsive and nice when I contacted them.

It's really dark in the condo. Also, the layout is kind of weird, and the master bedroom is set up for kids, not adults (like with twin beds instead of a queen.)

self catering accommodation - had been before so knew what to expect at these condos. Good space, quiet location but also very close walking distance to pedestrian shopping areas and ski area. Actual apartment was a bit 'tired' - some tlc needed but all round it was superb for our needs and a great location - free shuttle bus stop immediately across the road from the property. Small hot-tub and pool area great for a quick wee soak after a day's skiing. Washer drier and well equipped kitchen (apart from crockery comment below). Would definitely go back if opportunity arises.

More in the way of crockery and serving bowls - apartment catered for 4 people but for instance only 4 mugs so constantly having to wash mugs and glasses, rather than wait til dishwasher full - less efficient use of energy.

in general, the condo is ok. spa area is well maintained.

old decoration, really not comfortable sofa bed, complicated check in (I received a lot of long emails of instructions for check in, just to receive a 6 digits code to access the room… ) not so comprehensive owners: The bus arrives at whistler from Vancouver at 3pm. The check in is at 4pm. The room was ready at 3pm but we had to wait outside with all the ski gear until 4pm (the code was only activated at 4pm), even though I asked the owners if it could be possible to access the room just a little earlier. Check out at 10am and the bus leaves whistler at 11am.
