This is an interesting thread. Thanks to the moderators for turning it back on. My list:
- FS Maui during Thanksgiving. A truly disastrous stay at >$1000/night. I will never return. Dark, cave-like, ocean view room with no ocean view. Resort overcrowded: no chairs at pool and no chairs at beach unless waving $100 bills. No parking unless valet at $50 day(?). 2-hour wait for bar seat at restaurant. Puck’s restaurant, Spago, leaves much to be desired and should be turned into an Applebee’s (or Denny’s or In & Out).
- FS Whistler. Stayed during summer when resort was at 0.1% capacity (or less). Room had horrific ‘road and pool and construction’ view, an interesting trick in scenic Whistler. Bartender was as hostile as could be: ‘NO YOU CAN’T TAKE THAT WINE BACK TO YOUR ROOM. ORDER ROOM SERVICE!!!!!!!’ Huh? For a glass of wine? Not a single spa appointment was available in our 5 day stay. Not one. Restaurant poor and long walk into village. That this resort ranks high worldwide for skiing is a total mystery to me. I’d prefer to camp in the mud.
- Caneel Bay. The whole place should be blowtorched to the ground and renovated. So much went wrong that I’m not going to rant. We had a terrible stay there. 10 days of a moldy prison. At least the Zebras were fun to watch. Couldn't wait to leave.
