[B]Whistler or Victoria? Hard to say, depends on what kinds of activities you most like, I guess. Whistler has some great outdoors stuff, hiking, cycling, etc. Victoria definitely has less expensive shopping and more varied shops and stores, and does have some beautiful ocean scenery also. Whistler is very pricey for restaurants, and the village is very compact. Both have a selection of nightclubs, if you are so inclined...


...Both hotels are very nice. The Ocean Pointe in Victoria has some harbourview rooms that look out right over the water. The Westin in Whistler is a nice property with great staff and service. Their one bedroom suites are especially nice, the studios can feel a bit cramped. They have fairly complete kitchens so you can make meals, if you are so inclined.

Couldn't have said it better myself, I agree with Abby.
