Sonora Resort (British Columbia, Canada): Trip Report
Introduction We recently returned from Sonora Resort last month, which was wonderful and exceeded expectations. I hadn't seen much about this resort on Flyertalk so wanted to share some highlights in two parts. Full photos and commentary for part one are <a href="http://www.featherfactor.com/2014/06/sonora-resort-part-one.html" target="_blank">here</a> on my personal blog, but I will give a short recap below.<br><br>PART ONE: <br><br><a href="http://www.featherfactor.com/2014/06/sonora-resort-part-one.html" target="_blank">http://www.featherfactor.com/2014/06...-part-one.html</a> Location The resort operates its own helicopters and I'd recommend a transfer this way (though the water taxis looked cool!). <br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.featherfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/sonora1.jpeg?9d7bd4" style="margin-bottom:3px"><br><br>Aerial view of resort:<br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.featherfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/sonora6.jpeg?9d7bd4" style="margin-bottom:3px"><br><br>Grounds:<br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.featherfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/sonora9.jpeg?9d7bd4" style="margin-bottom:3px"> Room Our room - we were in the "diamond" level room which was the highest tier I believe. Rooms weren't traditionally "luxurious" but very up to date, clean and with good amenities. <br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.featherfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/sonora19.jpeg?9d7bd4" style="margin-bottom:3px"> View Property:<br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.featherfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/sonora111.jpeg?9d7bd4" style="margin-bottom:3px"><br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.featherfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Sonora54.jpeg?9d7bd4" style="margin-bottom:3px"><br><br>Boats<br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.featherfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Sonora36.jpeg?9d7bd4" style="margin-bottom:3px">Some of the properties boats<br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.featherfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/sonora21.jpeg?9d7bd4" style="margin-bottom:3px"><br><br>Local wildlife!<br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.featherfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Sonora39.jpeg?9d7bd4" style="margin-bottom:3px"> Dining Dinner<br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.featherfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/sonora32.jpg?9d7bd4" style="margin-bottom:3px"><br> Here is the second portion of my Sonora review:<br><br><a href="http://www.featherfactor.com/2014/06/sonora-resort-part-two.html" target="_blank">http://www.featherfactor.com/2014/06...-part-two.html</a><br><br>Breakfast:<br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.featherfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Sonora27c.jpeg?9d7bd4" style="margin-bottom:3px"><br><br>Lunch:<br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.featherfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/sonora29.jpeg?9d7bd4" style="margin-bottom:3px">Food was a strong suit here - delicious (and all inclusive, save for certain wines)<br><br><img alt="" src="http://www.featherfactor.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Sonora31a.jpeg?9d7bd4" style="margin-bottom:3px"><br><br>If you have any questions please just ask. I also included more detail on my actual blog post. Our first time in BC and it was lovely. I also tried to do some digging around while there to see if Clayoquot was worth it as we had considered booking it with Sonora but it was just sooo much more expensive. I couldn't get a really definitive answer though Overall Overall recommended! Especially for the price, I think a nice value and experience.<br><br>Happy to answer any more questions as well.
