I really enjoyed my stay at this resort, which offers a superb alpine experience. The accommodation was clean, warm, and very inviting, and the food at the restaurant was delightful. However, I found it a bit inconvenient that I had to persist to secure a late dinner reservation due to high occupancy. The resort provided plenty of activities, but I felt that some areas could use a bit of updating.

Our stay at Lake Crackenback Resort and Spa was lovely overall, with spacious accommodations and a beautiful view of the lake. The number of activities available made it a great family getaway, but there were a few hiccups with service and dining that could be improved. The staff were generally quite pleasant, but we had a disappointing breakfast experience. The location near stunning trails and access to snow activities was fantastic, but it’s essential to manage expectations regarding the dining options.

The service was outstanding, particularly from a couple of staff members who made our stay even more enjoyable. The location is stunning, nestled in the mountains with beautiful views, though the dining experience could use some improvement.
