The Ultimate Pampered Spa Vacation in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada
Think Whistler, B.C. Canada, and ski slopes and golf courses come to mind. But for those wanting to be pampered to wash away your stress to boost your health and wellness there is another reason to visit Whistler. A team of staff members at The Four Seasons Whistler welcomed us and treated us to the ultimate pampered relaxing, stress-free spa resort hotel vacation.
Every staff members from management to waiters, guest services, and valet set a gold standard for great customer service which any spa resort hotel would be well served to emulate.
For example, on arriving into our generously-sized, stylish, and comfortable king guest room with a balcony overlooking the alpine scenery, the bell hop gave us a tour of the room’s features and pointed out two terricloth spa robes hanging in the closet. They were made for people twice our height. “Any chance we can get a medium length robe?” Without blinking an eye, the bell hop said, “No problem. Call guest services.” A happy voice on the other end listened to our request and said, “No problem. I hope you don’t mind as it will take us about a half hour to bring it to you.”
True to their word, a knock on the door opened to a staff member delivering two new medium length terricloth spa robes. Originally, we didn’t make too much of it until we learned–the hotel only carried long robes. They actually went out to a store to buy us two new robes within that half hour so they did’t have to tell us “no” that they don’t have any that size. Who does that? Rather than tell their guest “no,” they went more than the extra mile to fill our request. And this was just one example of the continual attention to detail and pampering that the staff at The Four Seasons Whistler displayed for our entire stay.
Even when leaving, and were pulling away in our car, I looked down at the cup holder and saw two icy bottles of spring water. The valet had put it there for us as a parting gesture for our drive in the warm sun back to Vancouver–unasked for.
The pampering we experienced from the spa, the Four Seasons Whistler restaurant who accommodated our special requests for vegetarian meals and even vegan meals prepared without eggs and with a smile, and every moment of our stay was over the top. It truly gave a welcome retreat and offered a refreshing alternative from the stresses and hassles travel often poses by bathing me with a deep feeling of wellness.
