6 Looks from Celebrities' Winter Fashion Styles You Can Copy

Nikki Campbell — Mon, 09 Jan 2023 04:39:22 GMT

As the temperature begins to fall and winter approaches, the laziness of summer is replaced by the difficulty of getting out of bed and getting dressed each morning due to the cold. Despite the appeal of beach trips and lounging in the sun, the chill of winter has a way of making it hard to find the motivation to leave our cozy covers.

We can all be thankful for our favorite fashion icons' winter street style looks, which provide us with plenty of inspiration for staying warm and looking cute. We've rounded up some of the best cold-weather outfits we've seen in recent history, and we'll no doubt be copying them until springtime arrives.

1. Swap Your Jeans

Opt for a pair of pants that will offer you the same comfort as your jeans but with an intriguing detail that will add a spark to your winter look. Hailey Bieber's leather bottom is thoroughly enjoyed by us.

2. Accessorize a Sweater Dress

When we saw Sarah Jessica Parker in this Hanifa purple sweater dress, we knew it was something we had to have. Not only did it look cozy, but the wrap design made it easy to match with any type of shoe, such as sneakers, boots or even pink heels.

3. Wear a Colourful Coat

Swapping out the darker winter colors for something bold and bright can be a great way to have fun with fashion. Take, for example, Hailey Bieber's eye-catching yellow duster coat; it's a true statement piece and will stand out against the more traditional, neutral hues of the season.

4. Add a Vivid Scarf

A printed scarf is the perfect way to spice up an otherwise basic outfit - just take a look at Claudia Schiffer for inspiration! Wrapping one around your neck is an easy way to add a playful touch to your look.

5. Take Note of Layer

If you're wanting to wear a light suit or summer dress on a cold day, layering it over a turtleneck is the perfect way to add an extra bit of warmth. Turtlenecks come in a huge range of prints and colors, from neutral tones to more funky shades like neon - so you're sure to find something that matches your personal style, just like Gigi Hadid!

6. Spend Money on a Pair of Winter Boots

If you're feeling a bit uninspired by your usual shoe choices, try spicing things up with a striking boot! Think of Kourtney Kardashian's printed or lug-soled designs - they can really give your outfit the edge you're looking for.

As a big and tall guy these fit great and the top is plenty long enough to prevent gaps when you bend over.

I really want to buy a few more sets and just live in these all winter.

I wore them as a base lay to shovel snow with temps around -8F and wind chills around -35F. They did great keeping out any air that managed to sneak through my top layers. Even though I was working hard shoveling they kept my dry and I didn't get sweaty at all.

Customer review:

Last year I bought my first pair of this wonderful thermal set. One of the best buys I've made in a very long time. I bought four sets. The fit was incredible. Not binding at all. The material is very thin but warm at the same time. One set was destroyed when I broke my hip and it had to be cut off me. I asked the nurse to cut in such a way as I could sew it back together again. Only basic colors were offered at the time I bought them last year. This year more colors were offered. A beautiful dark blue and violet were among the choices. They are lovely and just as comfortable. I am in these all winter around the house and under my clothing when I am out in the cold. Because they are thin material, they fit under my clothing easily.

Customer review:

Best pair of thermals I have ever owned! It blows the rest out the water!! They are silky looking on the outside which makes them smoother to wear under clothes and look cute as pjs. The inside is the thermal material which really, really, really works! I live in a super cold apt; drafts are everywhere. I have to keep a super heavy cover over my front door & I am anemic. BRRR
I have flannel pjs & warm cozy pjs and housecoats; they are no match for the cold up in here! I put on these thermals and a good thick pair of slipper socks and it’s like being wrapped in a blanket. I have slept without a blanket every night since I got them. When I wear them outside I get the same results: I’m not cold! The lowest degrees it has gotten is 20’s overnight and daytime temperatures are between 35-42 degrees. Those temps would have me chilled to the bone after 2 hrs. I have been out over 4 hrs and did not feel the cold.
I wear a true 2x and these are actually too large & loose for thermals as I was taught that they should fit snugly. I will definitely order another pair in a smaller size and recommend them. And pink thermals: I love it!!! The value & comfort is a plus. - Latoya211

Customer review:

This is for all my super dry skin people…if your skin is dry, flaky and painful even after applying lotion this is for you. If you are approaching a certain age and suddenly you cannot seem to apply enough cream to soothe your skin, this is for you too. Before you go to a doctor to be checked for skin fungal infection try this first: To be clear this is a comparison between the “Eucerin Advanced Repair Lotion” for very dry skin (it has urea as the third ingredient) vs “CeraVe Moisturizing Cream” that comes in a big tub, sometimes with a pump. Both products are unscented. EUCERIN: This is a lighter lotion that packs a good punch. It goes on light, leaving a very slight oil feeling and film that feels good. The secret ingredient here is urea which draws moisture to the skin. The lotion can be used on its own in fall, spring and summer if your skin is not too dry. For winter it needs a tiny bit more oil for complete relief. In the winter I put about a dime size dollop of lotion on my hand, add a tiny bit of oil (about half or less the amount of lotion), rub together and apply from head to toe. The lotion is light enough to apply a small amount on the face when it is super dry out. It makes a great night moisturizer too. CERAVE: This is a thick, rich cream that feels luxurious and provides a nice nongreasy film on the skin. I can get away with using it on its on in the summer but for fall, spring and winter I need to add oil to it. Usually, I pump a dime size dollop of cream on my hand, add about the same amount of oil, rub them together and then apply from neck to toe (it is too thick for the face). If I was to pick only one of the two products, Cerave would be it. Even if it needs more oil for the perfect feel in super dry weather, it provides a much more moisturizing cushion to the skin. When I use it without oil in the summer it almost feels a little dry/powder-like, while still moisturizing. One last point: I have had the best results when adding oil to both products. As we age our skin cannot produce as much oil as needed, and adding it to our cream/lotion is the perfect solution. You need an oil blend that has a good balance between fast absorbing oils, for a more conditioning effect, and ones that linger a little to help seal in the moisture from your cream/lotion. The best I have found so far is the “Acacia Well Body” body oil. It is rich but not greasy. Sometimes when in a rush I apply the oil minus cream/lotion, and it holds its own for at least 24 hours. - Rest_Panda

Top 5 Dog Sledding Places for a New and Exciting Vacation Idea

Celine von Schweetz — Fri, 06 Jan 2023 09:32:10 GMT

It is widely recognized that dog sledding was invented by the Inuit people in what is now Canada thousands of years ago. Early on, a single dog likely pulled a single small load of goods like firewood. Later, dog sledding became more advanced by using teams of dogs to pull larger loads and eventually humans through the Arctic regions of the world.

Across North America, anyone can take a scenic ride through mountains, lakes, rivers, and forests for about the same price — or less — as an airline ticket while also traveling in cushier seats and a more relaxed atmosphere. And these scenic rides aren’t just for summer getaways — winter is just as magical a time to ride the rails, if not more.

Tropical Paradise, Bali - Perfect Winter Escape for Gen Z

Celine von Schweetz — Fri, 06 Jan 2023 09:31:55 GMT

Bali is one among thousands of islands that make up the republic of Indonesia. In the midst of the most populous Islamic country in the world, this small island has remained predominantly Hindu. In short, whatever you want to do, you will probably find it in Bali and you can easily spend a month here and still only see a fraction of the sights on offer. The hardest part of a holiday here is choosing where to go first and what you want to see.

Things To Do

Island Hopping

Island hopping when in Bali is an absolute must – and luckily, some of our faves are just a hop, skip and a short boat ride away. Just 40 minutes from Bali’s mainland you’ll find Nusa Lembongan, Nusa Ceningan and our favourite, Nusa Penida. It’s one of Bali’s most breathtaking islands, with pristine landscapes that look like they’re straight out of Jurassic Park.

Hike to the Top of Mount Batur

Sunrise hike up Mount Batur is something we highly recommend (and not just for the delicious breakfast you get at the top!). The hike only takes a couple of hours, and it’s not too challenging, meaning almost anyone can do it.

Explore the Island With Go-Jek

Source: thebalibible.com

Go-Jek really is a godsend. We can’t remember how we ever survived before this all-in-one app fell from heaven. So, do yourself a favour and download the app as soon as you arrive – you’ll then have access to cheap transport, home-delivered food from all of your fave Bali restaurants, in-villa massages, on-call cleaners, at-home beauty services, personal shoppers, postal services and even home removal vans – all available at your fingertips!

Wild Water Sports

If you want to take your water sport experience to the next level, then Bali is also a great place to try kitesurfing, windsurfing and parasailing. With its warm waters and steady wind, this is the perfect place to get your adrenaline pumping. No matter what kind of water sport you're looking for, Bali has something for everyone. From relaxing stand-up paddle board trips to wild kitesurfing adventures, Bali has it all. So jump in, the waters perfect!

Hit Up One of Bali’s Best Beach Clubs

Bali knows how to do great cocktails, shaken and stirred at some seriously awesome and iconic bars that you simply cannot miss. The perfect place to do that is Finns Beach Club, located in Canggu. This beach club boasts some of the best views in Bali, with white sandy beaches and a stunning infinity pool overlooking the Indian Ocean.

Must Eat While in Bali

Babi Guling - Suckling Pig

Babi guling, or suckling pig, is one of Bali’s most famous dishes. It is very unlikely to find this dish outside of Bali since a majority of the population in Indonesia are Muslim. The most popular place to eat babi guling is at Pak Malen in Seminyak.

Naughty Nuri's

Naughty Nuri’s is a Bali legend. They first opened in 1995 in Ubud and became known for their Indonesian barbecued pork ribs and martinis which the late great Anthony Bourdain famously declared the “best martinis outside of New York”.

Phuket, Thailand: The Island You Can Escape to This Winter

Nikki Campbell — Thu, 05 Jan 2023 11:38:17 GMT

Why Phuket?

The southwestern island of Phuket, in Thailand, is a popular tourist destination for its white sand beaches, aquamarine water, and limestone cliffs. Surrounded by the Andaman Sea and about an hour by plane from Bangkok, Phuket offers travelers tropical appeal along with affordable prices for everything from accommodations to spa treatments and boat tours.

Photo by Ratul Ghosh / Unsplash

Although its beaches and tourism operators have bounced back from the 2004 tsunami that hammered its western coast and tragically claimed thousands of lives, Phuket has not forgotten its past—it remembers through its memorials and a better warning system should the area come under threat again.

What to do?

Photo by Katie Musial / Unsplash

With so many things to do and experiences to have in this part of Thailand, many visitors have created an exclusive bucket list to ensure that they cover everything. Here's a list of things you should try as well!

Beaches

If you love beaches, Phuket is the place for you.

Boat Tour

Phang Nga Bay is a popular destination for boat tours that take you past rock formations standing vertically from the water, letting you witness breathtaking views and amazing surrounding scenery. You can opt for a full-day tour to the fishing village of Koh Panyee, or spend some time at Phi Phi Islands' white-sand beaches. If you have at least one full day at hand, visit Phang Nga Bay Marine National Park—home to mangroves, birds, mammals, fish, amphibians, and reptiles.

Tiger Kingdom

Tiger Kingdom offers a unique experience, allowing visitors to get up close and personal with tigers in their natural habitat. These tigers are rescued from the wild and live in a large enclosure where they can run around freely, just as they would in the wild.

Dim Sum

When you visit Phuket, be sure to try dim sum. A popular Chinese fusion dish, dim sum is available in a variety of flavors and styles.

Roti Pancake

Thai-style sweet pancakes are truly unique. They're a mix of flour, egg, condensed milk, sugar, and salt. The filling can be any of the fruits you want to eat.

About the water wonderland of Maui

Celine von Schweetz — Mon, 07 Nov 2022 10:25:01 GMT

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Edit this link

Maui is a tiny isle in the state of Hawaii. The isle is a haven for activities such as whale watching, kayaking, and exploring the Road to Hana. It is home to some of the most beautiful sights in the world, such as the beautiful gold sand beaches, the green Haleakalā and Wailua Falls.

Maui is an island destination in the Hawaiian archipelago, in the state of Hawaii. It is the second largest of the Hawaiian Islands. The island is often called the "Valley Isle" or "Coconut Island" because of its terrain of palm trees, sugarcane, and pineapple fields. Maui lures travelers with an invigorating mix of natural beauty and outdoor fun, all shared with warm alohas. When it comes to outdoor recreation, Maui wins best in show. Just look at that zipliner launching into a canopy of green. Or the mountain biker hurtling past eucalyptus and pine. Hikers have it darn good too, with trails winding through lava flows and bamboo forests. Along the coast, surfers barrel through waves, windboarders skim across whitecaps and snorkelers glide among fish-filled reefs and coral.

Big Beach is the crowning glory of Makena State Park. It is arguably the finest beach on Maui. The golden shores stretch for the better part of a mile and are as broad as they come. The waters are a beautiful turquoise. When they're calm, one can find kids boogie boarding here, but at other times the shorebreaks can be dangerous and suitable only for experienced bodysurfers, who get tossed wildly in the transparent waves.

Let’s see how people review this restaurant

"The Wilde Rooftop is an upscale bar at the top of The Dorian Hotel downtown. The cocktail menu is imaginative and it's hard to choose which drink to try (I tried A Trip to Banff, and it was excellent). There are beer, wine and spirit choices too. Seating is comfortable and the vibe is relaxing. Service is friendly and attentive. Great spot for an after dinner, after work or night out drink with friends drink." - Eddy L.

"Wow. This place rocks. Literally swept off our feet with the fabulous dinner feast st The Wilde last night. Started off with a surprise amuse bouche of Alberta's finest beef ala tartare which EVERYBODY loved hands down. Next, a succession of gustatory deliciousness - a delicate scallop-spring peas bowl and a refreshing elk tartare on a crispy lavash cracker (-!: it was never-ending). Of course, I had to get a sevond glass of my BFF drink for the night - The Bosie (apparently named for Oscar Wilde's girlfriend). The entrees were drop dead top caliber plates of perfection which pictures can only try and capture - I had the beef entree with potatoes, others the fall-off the bone bison cooked 12-14 hours ahead, and the Haida Gwaii halibut. Best of all, are the deaserts which rightfullly deserve its own post - ah! what a yummy duo of sweet but not too sweet plates - a fruit plate wrapped ina cloud almond cream and white chocolate, and a wild lavender panna cotta with generous white chocolate sprinkles. You just have to taste it to believe it, but YES IT WAS AWESOMENESS. As a card carrying member of Foodies Anonymous, this restaurant gets top marks!!! I am Sooo Glad We Ate Here!" - Marsha D.

"Our group of friends loved our dining experience! We enjoyed the halibut, bison, beef and vegetarian entrees. My entree, the Haida Gwaii halibut, was absolutely delicious. The halibut was perfectly prepared, the presentation was marvelous and mix of flavors was spectacular. The entire staff were extremely friendly, particularly Mita and Elaine who made us feel like family. We greatly enjoyed the sweeping view of Calgary. Our dessert options, the Modern and the Classic, were beautifully presented and thoroughly enjoyed by the table. A surprise visit from the chef made the evening! I'm from San Francisco and we're pretty blessed with our food choices, but this meal absolutely would shine there as well. Definitely try out this new gem!" - Steve C.

"Ordered the following: Pig ear Jellyfish Squid salad Chive dumpling Pork soup dumpling Chinese donut Bean curd soup Goose liver dumpling My favorite was probably the pork soup dumpling and bean curd soup. It was easy to eat and the flavoring was just right and not overpowering. Service was excellent and we got seated quickly. Didn't eat everything as other people in my party ate them and said they enjoyed the flavor and authenticity of the food. If you want authentic and good Chinese food, I recommend going here!" - Khoa N.

"This place has been in the center of many other Richmond eateries but has stood the rest of time! With so many choices all over the Richmond-Vancouver area we still comeback here time after time for the consistently made yummy and deelish food that hasn't changed for so long and I'm talking about nearly two decades. We also like to order their XLBs and the dough is a little thicker but it's oozing with soup and stuffed with pork. The pan fried pork buns are well made and also have lots of juicy goodness inside. The fried Shanghai style rice cakes (coins) were awesome. I liked the homemade sesame cake stuffed with beef but wish the beef was more spicy. The spicy beef noodle soup was OK and not a headliner but it does come with a good amount of tender chunks of beef. Be sure to get the pan fried bean tips with garlic, and yes, it is $26.80 (that's CDN so it's much cheaper than what you think lol) for a veggie dish but well worth the price!" - Mark Y.

"Love this place. Unfortunately didn't make a reservation, but host mentioned that if we could stay within an hour they could squeeze us in for a table of 3. Food is delicious and fresh. Better dim sum than Seattle. Servers were excellent and prompt. Cha sui so and Ha Gao were favorites." - Jay C.

With that being said, I thoroughly enjoyed my beverages." - Diana N.

I ended up having one of my friends help me choose since their menu is huge and full of many different options - all of which are of very high quality from my understanding. The service was excellent and quick, and staff members were very friendly and patient. I did see some past reviews complaining about the price but I think how much you pay for drinks here is absolutely worth it. Why didn't I know about this place earlier during my past visits to Toronto? That's the real question..." - William K.

"Deee-licious! I got into a bit of a yogurt craze after trying the bottled type in China. This is like bubble tea married Yop and they turned it appropriate for adults. I have been kind of disappointed in the selection in Toronto. Then one day I accidentally stumbled upon this place on my way home and I have ever looked back! This place amazes me every time I try it. The decor is modern and simple (they've got aesop hand sanitizer) and the menu is not overwhelming. The yogurt tastes hearty and wholesome without a bunch of additives. I have tried their original menu and the tea menu now and both are great. The fruit is real and they are generous with it. The staff here are also super attentive and take care in making all the drinks. Here's to more treat days so I can stuff my face with more Kome!" - Annette Y.

"Have passed by this location several times, and never thought to come in. Until one day I just stumbled upon their special that was buy one get 1/2 off, I figured I might as well try it today of all days. I can definitely say this place is 10 out of 10 for a real authentic Tea flavour if that's what you're looking for. Anything that has tea in it taste like a high-quality tea that has been steeped properly and used all the necessary steps to make it taste perfect. The one topping that stood out the most to me though aside from your usual coconut jelly, or Boba pearls; Is their cream cheese foam, it did not taste like it was just made with heavy cream or carnation milk, it actually had cream cheese in it and it was super thick and rich with just the right amount of salt. I can't wait to go back again, I will remind everybody that they are quite pricey though, but that's what you get for good quality tea flavour. There are several selections and flavours to choose from I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a nice refreshing cup of Boba or juice drink." - Chantal Y.

I ordered two burgers and Greek fries and I did not think that there would be such a wait for the food to be prepared. I think my brother and I waited for more than 20 minutes for it. We could see the kitchen from we were standing and saw the employee work on about 10 sandwiches at the same time which was impressive. The person proceeded to wrap all of them and that's when the orders started to roll out. I got the OZ burger and it was DELICIOUSSS!! I have plenty of burgers before but this one is memorable for sure. Lots of flavour and the sauces and toppings complemented well with each other. As for the Greek fries, we found it a bit too salty for our liking but still manageable." - Cindy D.

It all began in California, where our founder, Shant Mardirosian grew up.

Over-seasoned and compromised beef quality. Order speed over a burger-eating experience that was fresh and perfect every time. And so the mission began, whether he knew it at the time or not.

"Best burger in Toronto. I used to be a Burgers Priest fanatic but after tasting the smash burgers here, onion rings, french fries, this place is pure magic." - Mark L.

"Burger drops is a truly incredible spot. Every item on the menu is stellar. The highlights: Double original burger- This burger is the epitome of a simple, delicious, beefy and cheesy burger that you will constantly crave. Really high quality pressed beef with the perfect char. You truly taste the beef which I can't say about all smash burgers. Perfect blend of toppings as well. The soft potato roll and cheese are perfect accompaniments for this mouth watering beef. Cheese fries- absolutely love these. The thick crinkle fries give you that perfect mix of a crispy outside but a potato heavy inside. Not easy to accomplish. The cheese is flavourful and the jalapeño sauce gives it some kick without being overly spicy. Veggie Burger- arguably Toronto's best veggie burger. The effort made to grind fresh vegetables where the mushrooms really stand out is top notch here. Most burger spots opt for the impossible or beyond burger. While those are decent, this one far exceeds them. A sweet, savoury and perfectly crispy veggie patty is the end result here. Love the attention to detail and the way the potato bun and toppings compliment the patty. Burger Drops: keep this veggie option on the table. There's no spot like yours that does this quite as well! To top it all off, the desserts are delicious and the staff are so unbelievably friendly and accommodating. An amazing experience and a must visit for all beef and veggie burger lovers!" - Cal A.

Cabano Burger

Let’s see how people review this restaurant

"What a spot. When I'd walk home from work or school on a claustrophobic and hectic stretch of Yonge, I'd sometimes cut off onto the calm and empty parallel side streets to make the trek more enjoyable. On one of these detours, I discovered a cozy little quiet side street just south of Yonge and Bloor. On this street, the refined and profesional looking Cabano's sign stuck out to me. When I saw it was a place that specialized in comfort food, I knew they were speaking my language. On my first and only visit (so far), I grabbed their Original Chicken Sandwich ($12.49) with a side of Fries ($4.50). That Southern Fried Chicken Breast tastes truly amazing. The batter tastes great and has a nice crunch. The chicken itself is juicy and was served up hot. Some fried chicken sandwiches feel like a slab of bland tasteless white meat, but Cabano's tasted great. I loved the mayo, lettuce, and pickles as well. The coolness they bring in each bite is mouth watering. $12.49 is the more or less the going rate for cool independent spots in the city, so relative to that league of restaurants the pricing was fair. The portion size was nice as well. Based on just the sandwich and it's price, I'd give this place a 4/5, but what makes it a 5/5 for me is the Cabano's Burger Sauce. Every time I try a new burger/chicken sandwich place, I need to give their house sauce a shot. Cabano's Burger Sauce is delicious. It's creamy with a slight zip. It's a blend of other condiments, but includes real egg and dairy - definitely on the higher quality side. Well worth the extra $1.25. My friend had their Honey BBQ and enjoyed it, but much preferred their sampling of my Burger Sauce (fwiw). Lastly, I must touch on the Fries. I'm typically not a fan of all these restaurants segmenting up the burger, fries, and drink for separate costs, so my friend and I split the fries for $4.50. I'd say they're worth the $4.50 as the serving size is pretty big. They taste amazing. Sometimes, skinny fries like this can lack taste or be overly salted, but these were perfect. Ours had no seasoning like cajun or anything like that, but were salted just right. You can really taste the yummy oil they dunk them in to cook and it's to-die-for. The seating area inside the restaurant is actually really great. It's a square shaped ring table with high stools to sit on. The restaurant itself is clean, dimly lit, and simple - I like it! It's a good environment to scarf down a burger. The staff were super friendly and helpful. It only took about 10 minutes for our order to be prepared. One of my favourite things about the inside of the restaurant is that they have two touch screen kiosks to order on similarly to McDonald's and Tim Horton's. The reason I like this is because it gives me time to go through the menu and slowly configure my order. In the summertime, there are a few wooden dining tables out front to dine on. Because the street is usually pretty quiet, it makes it a nice spot to enjoy a meal without being disturbed by constant foot traffic a few inches away from your meal. Cabano's is a 5/5 for me. I look forward to going back and trying their Chili Cheese Fries and Stroman Shimmy Wings." - Nathan G.

"Cabano is definitely hands-down my favourite burger in the city. Everything from the bun to the meat and toppings are amazing. There fries are amazing, I wish they had poutine. Would be a game changer. I've had all their burgers and wings and I can't say this about a lot of places but it gets 10/10 for me." - Bianka K.

"Surprisingly exceeded expectations. The cheeseburger is wafer thin and the bun stays puffy throughout the eating experience. A good ratio between bun and patty covering both sides. Would return. My partner and I also shared the chili cheese fries which, had the fries been curly, would hit the whole mouth feel out of the park." - Jennifer C.

Diners grill their own meat & seafood at this laid-back Korean restaurant with a woodsy vibe.

Let’s see how people review this restaurant

"Would've normally rated Daldongnae a 4 star for other locations but in Mississauga, they definitely exceeded my expectations. Side dishes were always refilled with an even bigger portion size. We asked for more onions and they gave us a bowl full. Corn, kimchi and egg were refilled once. Servers check up on you for other minor refills. Next time I would skip out on the pork kimchi stew - it was a big bowl but close to half filled as the order." - Michelle M.

"My family and I enjoyed this place so much. I can't wait to go back for more delicious food! The staff were polite. It was my first time having Korean bbq and the choices were confusing. We enjoyed the side dishes especially the cheesy corn. The cold noodle salad was great too although it comes unmixed and they gave me a glove to mix in the sauce myself which was surprising but that way I was able to put in just the right amount of spicy sauce. The kimchi fried rice was a big hit with my son. Looking forward to trying their seafood plan cake next time." - Marlene S.

"Really like it. I like cheese corn and we filled it several times Servers are very good. The first beef rib on the menu is a little bit thick. Pork belly tastes good. The cold noodle soup is awesome. It cost us $75 in total including tips. Really a bargain and we are quite full. Will come next time." - Yu Z.

"Yummy! Great service, corn bread could be better, but the ribs and sauce is amazing! Beans and slaw are good too, the slaw could be creamier but I think that's more the person that pours the sauce over it when prepped. A win in my book!" - Liberty C.

"If you haven't been here for the Monday special, then you definitely need to! For $25+tax, you get a full rack of ribs, a lb of wings, and a large fries or salad. It's enough to feed 2 with some leftovers. We got the fiery honey garlic for the wings and they were a bit spicier than the average hot honey, but not crazy hot. The ribs were delicious and fall of the bone, and the fries were crispy like Costco fries. It can get busy though, so make sure you call ahead if you're looking to get take out!" - Maria L.

"I LOVE this place so much. This is the best BBQ place hands down! My usual here is the mini combo platters and nachos. you get half lbs of wings, half lbs of ribs generous amount of crispy fries, corn bread and beans. I can never finish this platter in one sitting but omg its definitely finger licking good. The price is super reasonable for the quality and portion. What's so great about this place is that I discover that they have a special every Monday for 1lb of wings, 1lb of ribs, again generous portion of fries for 25.00 plus tax which is normally double the price. Made to share for two people. I live in Oakville and travel about 20 minute (traffic free) twice a month for the BBQ. This place is awesome...awesome...I love the atmosphere and It's clean. There is only two washroom and they are clean as well. It's a small place, seats about 25 people. Simple dinning space nothing fancy which is great because you don't have to worry about dress code. I do recommend wearing loose pants because you won't be able to stop eating. lol :) The staffs are young and super friendly to everyone and is attentive to your need even while you are eating. I would recommend this place over and over again and again and have offer to take anyone that is looking for some good BBQ. Although, I like it better eating in the restaurant but during this pendamic I still order it for take-out at least once a month. This is definitely one of my regular places. Please note that during the pendamic I order curb side pick up but normally I would dine in." - Vivian D.

Let’s see how people review this restaurant

"The smoky wings and ribs were very good. The cornbread was very dry, but it was a small part of the meal." - Mark Z.

"Best BBQ North of the Mason-Dixon Line! As an American, I am qualified to review these ribs. The ribs have great smokiness and are bursting with flavour. In terms of other ribs I have had in this country, nothing rivals their flavour. The molasses beans were well done and featured bits which is always a sign of good beans. Smoked wings were also good and I truly enjoyed the fried wings with the Alabama Slamma sauce. The fries are battered and have an intense crisp and satisfying (if slightly too oily) fried taste. I don't rate the cornbread as I felt it lacked sufficient moisture. The service was next level though and the girl behind the counter was all smiles. Bottom line, the ribs, wings and beans are the star of the show as are the battered fries when fresh. The dry cornbread can be overlooked due to the stellar service and the fact that they brought ribs that would be decent in Missouri, Texas, or the Carolinas to Canada." - Aaron S.

The Best Pasta Restaurants in Brampton to Satisfy Your Endless Craving for Pasta

1. Nancy Trattoria Restaurant

The restaurant is very popular in the area (there were many take-out customers while we were there). Great food at very affordable prices.

Let’s see how people review this restaurant

"We tried this restaurant for the first time today. We had take-out of Spaghetti with Tomato Sauce, and Gnocchi with Rose Sauce. Both dishes were awesome! All of the pasta noodles are home-made, and so are the sauces. The elderly gentleman prepared the dishes after we ordered, and was very friendly and courteous, and treated us like family. The restaurant is very popular in the area (there were many take-out customers while we were there). Great food at very affordable prices. We'll be doing take-out from this place very frequently now. Highly recommend!" - Ross K.

"Took me 5 mins to finish a plate of penne arrabbiata which was extremely delicious. When I came here the first time sauce was a bit watery with extra salt in but because it was closing time and the gentleman is senior I decided to give it another try. Man oh man, I was correct. The best home made sauce I had in a long time. I had the best tasting pasta. I make Italian sauces at home and I can tell that it's a home made sauce. Also, the pizza is extremely good. The base of the pizza (bread) could get addictive which you can't get anywhere else. The pizza is a thin crust pizza. The pizza crust gives sort of a smooth and crusty croissant taste which stays in your mouth for while. Place is run by a senior man who recommends ordering by phone because it takes him 20-30 minutes to make your dish from scratch. However, you can go their have a drink and relax while he prepares your meal. It's not a fine dinning place and the prices are less compared to other restaurants. A pasta dish will cost you $8-$10 depending upon the portion. Also, this place will make you feel like you are visiting your grandpa for a meal. Note: they close early, around 7-8pm. Call before going." - Sunny B.

"This little place is the definition of a hidden gem. The husband and wife team (she's Nancy) make Italian food as down home as it gets. The daily lunch plate consists of an average side plate filled with everything they have in the hot table for a very reasonable $9 or $10. And all of it is amazing." - Anthony Nalli ..

"Since recently moving to the GTA from New York City, as a foodie, I've haven't found an enjoyable slice of thin crust New York Style pizza until I tried this restaurant. Service- 5/5 The ladies at the counter were quick, courteous, efficient, and friendly. Food- 5/5 I only tried their NY style plain cheese pizza and it was on point. It's the first slice of pizza in the GTA that I genuinely enjoyed ever. The crust was perfectly baked (not too well done, but not soft or soggy), it had the right amount of sauce, and the right cheese to crust ratio. Ambiance- 5/5 It appears that you can dine in which is great since most restaurants since COVID only offers take out. The restaurant appeared spacious and clean. Constructive criticism- Nothing to criticize! Keep up the good quality and whenever I'm in the area I'll definitely stop by to try their other items." - Michael R.

"Best Lasagna & panzerotti ever.. owner and staff was very friendly. Service was great!!" - Jenny H.

"In recent weeks I've kind of sworn off pizza. It got to the point where they all just tasted like rushed garbage with mediocre ingredients and little attention to detail. That all changed with the unbelievable small cheese pizza I ordered from here. It came in warm but I put it in the oven for a few minutes just to give it a little extra love. It really reminded me what a good pizza was supposed to be like. A thin crust with quality cheese that pulls on each bite, sauce that has a distinct flavour, and a crust with an actual crunch instead of a soggy breadstick you have to dip in sauce just to mask its inadequacy. The bruschetta, while a little pricey at $1 per piece, was fresh, well balanced so everything didn't fall off each bite, and had enough crunch that it didn't tear up the roof of your mouth. The veal sandwich was bland and terrible but you can't win 'em all. This is without a doubt the best pizza I've had in Mississauga." - Bucky T.

"This is the best pasta and pizza place around. A nice place for a date with a nice and quiet atmosphere. The workers are very friendly. I would recommend the rose sauce with linguini noodles. The lasagna is also very good and cheesy" - Sophie L.

Well, the pizza had all the flavours and crispy base but the centre was a little " not so crispy but soggy" but cooked. The pizza was loaded with all the mentioned toppings it was supposed to have. Well done for the price. We got a large pasta and the box was reasonably sized. Pasta tasted good too. I will be back here" - Anirutha C.

"Everything about this place, from the service to the menu, is as straight forward as it comes. The manager was very friendly and attentive. She told us what their most popular pizzas are. We were stuck between two specialty pizzas so she said we could do half and half and allowed us to customize the pizza. We ordered one pizza - half spicy buffalo chicken and half bianco with lemon pepper aioli drizzle all over. We removed the blue cheese topping. Once we got the pizza, the manager came around and made sure we were happy with the order. Bonus points for it being fired wood pizza. It definitely makes a difference to the taste of pizza. You can literally taste the quality of ingredients in every bite. It had the perfect amount of dough, ingredients and sauces. Great food, friendly service. I will definitely visit again to try the other items on the menu." - Tas M.

"My husband and I were very impressed with this experience. Our waitress was Shanice. She was fast, personable, smiling and friendly. We let her know we had tickets to a movie and she made sure we didn't have to wait for the bill so we wouldn't be late. My husband ordered fish and chips and got the biggest order we'd ever seen! I ordered Chicken Parmigiana and again the portion size was huge. The all you can eat bread and salad was done perfectly. The drinks we ordered, I had strawberry dacquiri, he had a rye and coke, were perfect as well. It was very busy, quite a few people waiting as we were because we arrived without reservations. The wait wasn't long at all though as we were seated within 7 minutes. Even though it was very busy, all the staff were smiling and genuinely friendly. Kudos go out to the manager of this location for making sure that customer service is paramount. The washrooms were very clean as was the entire restaurant. It was a very nice dining experience. The only drawback would have been that it was a trifle noisy. But it was busy, there were several birthday celebrations going on in a family style restaurant so it's part of it and we didn't feel it detracted from what we were expecting. We will definitely return again." - Cathy M.

"Mercadito Latino is a small family owned restaurant. Since it's a small family restaurant, it's never well-staffed, hence, the service is relatively slow. Even though the restaurant feels like it's a hole in the wall, I keep on going back because they serve the BEST Latino food in the City! The food is nothing but excellent! I can honestly tell you that Mercadito is significantly much better than La Fiesta Cafecito if you're debating between the two places. If you are looking for an authentic restaurant, this is the place! Here are my food recommendations: 1) Sopa de Tortilla (Tortilla Soup) 2) Tacos des Res (Beef Taco) - My Go-to for entree 3) Pupusas - my Significant Other's Go-to for entree 4) Corn Tamale (appetizer) 5) Quesadilla des Res - They serve the BEST quesadilla ever! Only if I can eat 10 meals in one seating, I would order everything off the whole menu! Overcall, this restaurant is highly recommended! Attire: casual" - FloRida F.

"We tried to eat at this place last week but there were no tables. It looks like a hole in the Wal, so we figured the food must be good. So, off we went two nights ago and YES, this is a great place. Even though it was full again and we had to walk around for a spell then wait inside the for for the crowd to cool. The green salad is one of the best I've ever had. The tempura is not all conventional but the shrimps were amazing. This is our new go-to :)" - Eddie M.

"Recommendation: Spicy chicken with cheese Really good taste Kimchi pancake is fine and the location is really good" - Mingxuan C.

"Great food for a fair price. You scan a QR code upon arrival to view their menu. They have 10% off for cash discount. Order ahead if possible as they were slammed from 5PM onward. I ordered the yaki udon with chicken. Good portion sizes with lots of veggies and al-dente noodles. Came with sides of sweet radish and kimchi. For $15 this was a nice treat. I'll be back next time to try their spicy chicken and toppoki." - Lo C.

He imports beautiful fish from Japan and treats them with respect. I had the omakase 10 course meal and was blown away. The toro, the uni, the fluke, the unagi, the scallop! So many good things.

We asked for any recommendations, and she was very honest and helpful! The manager came around to make sure we were good too which was much appreciated! We shared the caprese salad and a small vegetarian pizza and both were amazing! It was my friend's birthday so I asked if they could embarrass her a little bit and they didn't disappoint! They brought out this amazing butcher board with Happy Birthday written in chocolate sauce and one of the best crème brûlée I've ever had! They also sang "happy birthday" which was a nice touch! I know some people say it's a bit pricey, and it is, but when the food and service is top notch that doesn't really bother me too much. We both left full and smiling, and I can't say enough about this first experience! Thank you F&B!!" - D. B.

"We came here on a whim while in Windermere. It was the first restaurant to pop up when we searched nearby. We were blown away. The atmosphere is wonderful, it's classy food with a more laid back vibe.

"So it's been a minute since I've had oysters and being in land-locked Alberta I would say that's pretty typical here. BUT, if you're like me and missing your yearly trip to the ocean I would highly recommend you head on over to Von's for their Buck-A-Shuck! It's kinda like happy hour but with oysters! We ordered 18 of the Chef's Creek oysters ($1.50 each) and they were by far our favourite ones. We also tried 6 of the Pink Moon oysters ($2.50 each) and 6 of the Shiny Sea oysters ($3.00 each). You have to order in batches of 6 for all the oysters. We also had calamari which the dip was so yummy. The mushrooms Neptune (delicious!) I saved my leftovers from this to eat for breakfast on toast with a fried egg on top! Drooling.... We also ordered the Hoisin Cauliflower which was another delicious dish and a bottle of Prosecco to wash it all down with. Our total bill was just about $160 which is totally worth it for this amazing special food. The ambiance in the lounge was great, our server was so attentive, the manager even came out to greet everyone. The music was some great Latin beats which we definitely enjoyed. If you're looking for a date night or just a taste of the sea, head on over to this local staple, you will not be disappointed!" - Vilma R.

"Atlas Steak and Fish at West Edmonton Mall is a mesmerizing restaurant for all steak lovers. A must have is their filet mignon which is what I had. The steak was cooked to my requested perfection (medium rare) and each bite that I took was like heaven on earth. A must try for all foodies. The only complaint I would have is the slow service from my server. I had to get another servers attention in order to wave my server over. Other than that, my party's dining experience was wonderful." - Philip H.

"It was our last night in alberta and we were deciding where to eat. We were at the West Ed Mall and saw the Atlas Steak and Fish. We were greeted by Chad who was very friendly and made some good suggestions, we went with the parm truffle fries, mussel and clams and a lobster bisque to start. For our entree we went with the tomahawk steak. We were very surprised as the quality of food was very good, this was the second tomahawk steak we had on our trip in Alberta, the first being at the fairmont hotel at Lake Louise, and we were pretty disappointed as they had for remake our tomahawk steak because they over cooked it. But at the Atlas the tomahawk was perfect and very flavorful. We ended the meal with yet another awesome recommendation from Chad the Salted Caramel Creme brulee. Thanks to Chad and the kitchen staff for making our last meal in Edmonton memorable." - Kevin T.

"The wife and I decided to take the opportunity to experience the dining pleasures that everyone was raving about and was overwhelmed on what was so very true ! The service we had was with Anita, needless to say we were pampered and treated with such royal treatment it made the evening a dining pleasure. The meal was exquisite as everyone has mentioned and nothing seemed to be in a negative way as we took our time to enjoy the pianist they have playing just seemed to relax us for the experience that has never been matched to my knowledge in my dining experience in Edmonton. Price wise was a shocker as I never was one to look at the cost but had to review the bill as it seemed much lower than I thought but it was correct! Take the time have yourself pampered with a beautiful evening out." - Bill M.

"Had a delicious Cosmo to start, bringing it back to early 2000 lol Ribeye was perfect! Mushrooms tasty. Brussel sprouts were the best I've had nationally. Our first bottle of Pinot Noir was great Baldacci, but I didn't enjoy our second bottle of Zinfandel (likely just my preference and palette). The third, a Cab Sauv, was much better! The staff, Jen, Mark, & Dale were the best I've had in quite sometime. Impeccable service. Thank you!" - Amy C.

"With chilled, romantic vibes and prices that aren't necessarily going to empty your wallet on a special night out, LUX STEAKHOUSE re-open after 19 months is reason enough for a visit. Savoury, tender and everything you'd expect from a cut of meat, a slab of steak here won't go unfinished, and the sides only give them that extra edge. Our favorite is lobster mac&cheese flavourful and delicious! Highly recommended." - Aiyie L.

"Been here many times and we've never had a bad meal. Went for a belated Christmas dinner with my partner. As to be expected post-Christmas, the restaurant was not too busy for a Saturday night. We were seated promptly and had some pre-dinner cocktails. For our meals, my partner had the beef ribs, i had a steak with prawns. My partner was concerned about portion size on the ribs but the server assured him they were sizeable. She wasn't lying as you can see in the photos. We were stuffed but managed to save room to share carrot cake. To the staff at Lux and in particular our server Rena, thank you for yet another excellent meal.

Definitely a hidden gem deep Deep South! My friend had ordered the steak and said it was cooked to perfection so I don't doubt they do it justice. I did try a truffle fry and it was so so killer! Perfectly crisp, seasoned, and came out hot! I love their Medium Rare Mango sushi drink that I ordered as well, such a fun summer refreshment. The mojito was also well praised. And as for dessert the brûlée was said to be the most popular, but we had to try the bananas flambé cause it just sounds cool. This place is really really far south and without my friends high recommendation I never would have checked it out. But I think it would make a lovely intimate date night spot. I hope they make a little outdoor patio section in the summertime. Definitely make reservations because this place doesn't have very many tables! But tons of parking as it's all new development and like surrounded by warehouse like businesses. If you like the meat I believe they sell cuts too!" - Donna B.

"Omg! Chippers Bakery has huge cookies that weigh half a pound each cookie!! And they are delicious! And they have cool flavours! I was so excited to try Chippers and I was not disappointed. Cookies are $3.50 each, but if you buy 6 you get a 10% discount (only applies to walk-ins, not pre-orders). I got 6 cookies: Ube, Strawberry Shortcake, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, Vegan Apple Crumble, Red Velvet, and Oatmeal Apple Walnut. I really wanted to try the Root Beer cookie, but they didn't have any the day I was there :( Nonetheless, the ones I got were all delicious. They were so soft and full of flavour. I loved them all. However, if I had to pick my top favourites from the ones I got I would say: Vegan Apple Crumble, Strawberry Shortcake and Ube. They have been open for about 6 months, so they are a relatively new business. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The bakery is very small, and there is no seating whatsoever. Street parking only." - Jennifer P.

"What an amazing bakery! I got 6 cookies... They're all so tasty. Each is 1/2 a pound and perfectly cooked. Each bite is so dense and chewy and WONDERFUL. Also, I think that they are extremely well priced considering the size and quality. 10/10" - Emma N.

"THESE ARE SPECIAL. Who doesn't want a giant cookie? They have a lot of flavour varieties and a discount for walk-ins when you order half or full dozen. Chippers does have delivery too though.

Let’s see how people review this restaurant

"Tried the raisin and chai spices bread and also the date and fennel one. I LOAF the raisin one! With a little oven time you won't be able to tell it's a day-old bread (price is lovely too, you get 20% off for day-old ones). They sprinkled raisin and spices to the dough very generously, you'll be able to taste them in every single bite. The date and fennel one is a baguette sized bread that looks incredibly beautiful, while the taste is definitely not for everyone, it has a strong fennel taste, which in my opinion is a bit too strong and overshadowed the bread's taste, it feels like I'm eating fennel directly imo, so be careful if you are not a fan of strongly spiced bread, or go grab one now if you love fennel. Definitely going back to try the apple and cider bread! I love the place." - Adrianna L.

"Great bread. The khorasan sourdough loaf is standout amazing. They don't seem to offer a white/whole wheat/rye mixed sourdough--the oversized miche is a whole wheat sourdough. I recommend the rye sourdough (it's a rye/ww mix) if you're looking for this type of bread. The rye sourdough is excellent." - Chris T.

"The bakery uses fresh, not dried yeast, also ancient grains, organic flours,....and it ends in outstanding bread products. Try the chili chocolate buns ( A huge hit at my daughters baby shower) or their chai raisin buns, and did I mention the orange chocolate buns? Outstanding quality and amazing taste.

NORTH POLE, ALASKA

Here, you can visit Santa and Mrs. Claus year-round at the most elaborate Santa Claus House ever! The kids will love exploring this magical place. And if that’s not enough, Fairbanks and North Pole are located in the auroral oval—a prime location for viewing the Northern Lights."

SALT LAKE CITY, USA

For quick day trips to enjoy the snow, head south to test your family’s skills dog sledding through the Quebec forest at Chenil la Poursuite or if you’re a family of skiers, check out Valcartier for ski hills, snow tubing and one of few ice hotels in the world!

ZERMATT, SWITZERLAND

Zermatt in Switzerland is the best place to go for families who are dreaming of a white Christmas. Switzerland is kid-friendly, and there are many activities in store for you and your loved ones at the Matterhorn, like skiing, ice skating, and sledding.

When it gets dark, hop on a horse and carriage to see the small town light up like a Winter Wonderland town in a snow globe. It rarely rains in the lovely town of Zermatt, however—when it does get wet outside, you can always find indoor activities to keep your children busy.

In the town itself, you'll find facilities for indoor golf and an escape room; if you're looking for something sweeter than that, book a stay at Hotel Mont Cervin Palace where their Kids’ Club takes care of children aged 3–8 while their parents relax with spa treatments or excursions into town.

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK

For a white Christmas, head to Copenhagen. While it doesn’t always snow heavily there, there are many ways to make it a while Christmas in the Danish capital. The annual Christmas markets in Copenhagen are fantastic.

My personal favourite is at Byretten Nytorv (City Court Square). One of the best ways to spend a chilly afternoon is at a Copenhagen Christmas Market sipping glogg. Gløgg is a Scandinavian mulled wine with raisins and almonds stirred in.

After finishing the drink, you’re left with a warm and delightful snack. It’s also served without alcohol for a warm, kid-friendly beverage. Once you’ve walked through the Christmas Markets head to Tivoli Gardens.

It’s a must-see Christmas attraction in Copenhagen. They have their own Christmas Market and their year-round rides are running with festive holiday decorations.

PARIS, FRANCE

The city of Paris is beautiful at Christmas time. It isn't uncommon to see snow in the city during the winter months, and although it's not quite as spectacular as in other places in Northern Europe, it gives cool photo opportunities with the main attractions of Paris in the background.

Photo by Léonard Cotte / Unsplash

There are plenty of fun things to do in Paris during Christmas with kids. For example, you can visit the Christmas markets and taste some yummy holiday treats. You can admire beautiful Christmas lights and decorations on famous streets like Vendôme Square or Montmartre.

You can go ice skating on the Eiffel Tower or under the beautiful glass cupola of Grand Palais.

Or if you want to leave town for a couple days, you can visit Disneyland Paris during its awesome Disney White Christmas event or head up into the snowy peaks of the French Alps for some wonderful day trips from Paris!

ST PETERSBURG, RUSSIA

Photo by Nathan Anderson / Unsplash

What distinguishes this imperial city during the Christmas season is the wonderful atmosphere, with plenty of things to do in St. Petersburg Russia with kids. The city looks stunning in the snow as residents prepare to celebrate the holiday season.

Photo by Nikita Karimov / Unsplash

Consider spiced glintwein, troika rides, and snow-covered domes. It is considered the country's cultural capital, with a long history dating back to the early 1700s and a plethora of artistic and architectural treasures. During this time, there are also numerous outdoor activities, cultural events, and Russian celebrations.

Photo by Artem Bryzgalov / Unsplash

If it's too cold to go outside, there's plenty to keep you entertained indoors. A trip to the city would be incomplete without a stop at the Mariinsky Theatre, the Hermitage Museum, and the Winter Palace, which houses one of the world's largest collections of historic items.

The Place to Enjoy Your Winter Vacation: Hawaii

Nikki Campbell — Mon, 24 Oct 2022 06:49:53 GMT

If you're looking for a vacation spot that's both affordable and beautiful, consider Hawaii. From Exotic Estates Maui villas to oceanfront condos, this lovely island state has something for everyone.

Photo by Jeremy Huang / Unsplash

If you want to escape bitter cold and snow, consider a trip to Hawaii! For most of the year, the weather there is warm and sunny. To help you plan your trip, here are a few of our favorite things to do in Hawaii during wintertime.

Whale Watching

Photo by Marvin Meyer / Unsplash

Whale watching is an ideal activity in Hawaii. Humpback whales can be seen traveling with their young, and the best time to spot them is between November and May.

Photo by Ilse Orsel / Unsplash

Some of the best places to watch for whales are Kilauea Point National Wildlife Refuge on Kauai, the Sanctuary Education Center on Maui, and the Halona Blowhole on the eastern shore of Oahu.

Surfing

The waves and weather in Hawaii in winter are a crowd pleaser, as the waves are exciting to watch and the weather is ideal for surfing competitions.

The North Shore of Oahu is legendary for its large waves and it still attracts some of the world's best surfers.

Snowboard on Mauna Kea

If you’ve ever dreamed of snowboarding in Hawaii, now’s your chance! The highest peak on the Big Island is covered with snow between December and February, creating a winter wonderland.

You can ride down the mountain on your own equipment or rent some from nearby Hilo. Just be sure to pack plenty of sunscreens—you’re still on a tropical island!

Visit Dole Plantation

Photo by Ruth Paradis / Unsplash

If you're looking for a fun afternoon, try visiting the Dole Pineapple Plantation on Oahu. There are plenty of activities, such as navigating one of the largest mazes in the world, taking a tram ride through the plantation grounds, or indulging in some fresh pineapple.

Countdown to Christmas

The Polynesian Cultural Center is an award-winning attraction on Oahu, where you can experience the culture of Polynesia through hands-on activities and events all year long.

In December, they offer a special Thirteen Days of Polynesia festival that includes festive live music, canoe rides, and snow days for kids.

Hawaiian Christmas Tree

Hawaii’s Christmas tree farms are a unique experience for locals and visitors alike. Helemano Farms on the north shore of Oahu is home to a variety of trees that residents or visitors can cut down and take—including Norfolk Pine, Leyland Cypress, Blue Ice, Japanese Yoshino Cedar Trees, and Caroline Sapphire.

Photo by Sergei A / Unsplash

Although you won’t be able to take your Hawaii Christmas tree home with you, the farm is still the perfect backdrop for your island-style holiday photos.

I’ve tried a couple different double sleeping bags over the past decade and this was BY FAR my favorite. Loved the built in blanket, it offered a ton of flexibility/versatility on ways to get comfortable (position-wise and also temperate-wise).

Highly recommend. - AC

7. Western Mountaineering TerraLite 25 Degree Down Sleeping Bag

The Western Mountaineering TerraLite 25 Degree Down Sleeping Bag is a wide sleeping bag made for side sleeping comfort. It features our 12 denier ripstop nylon shell fabric with a 15 denier nylon taffeta lining material.

Customer review:

This is a incomplete review. It's done 2 nights at approximately 35 degrees and was great. My first western mountaineering bag. I'm a stomach sleeper in kind of a captain Morgan lay-out with my knee straight out. I had a marmot bag forever now that was plenty warm but just to narrow. The Terralite has plenty of room if your a stomach sleeper all spread out. The quality is 2nd to none. This bag is expensive and when you receive it you quickly know why and most of all its made in San Jose California and thats all they make. It came down to them or feathered friends. The terralite also makes a wonderful quilt as well. As far as its rating to 25 degrees its got tons of room to wear insulated clothing inside the bag and I've got a mountain hardware 34degree synthetic lamina to open and drape over if I'm going down below freezing. I will admit I'm looking at getting another WM bag just for cold of winter or for my wife to use in the rare time she is out in the 30 degree shoulder season trip as she is a cold sleeper. And that will be the Sequoia 5 degrees or Ponderosa 15 degrees which also have plenty of room for a side sleeper and stomach sleeper. If I could sleep on my back I'd hands down narrow things up to save weight. I also was checking out the nemo line of disco and other goofy named bags that look good for stomach and side sleepers but it came down to a company that specializes in bags and has been doing it for some time. One big thing I noticed is I don't see to many used WM sleeping bags out there for sale and now I clearly know why. - Jonny

You just need a small amount of easily accessible solid biomass fuel to prepare your meal. It is a perfect emergency stove, survival stove, and portable stove for camping.

Customer review:

The media could not be loaded. When I received the stove and opened the box, my first impression was that the stove was very well built and looked gorgeous; however, I was concerned about its compact size. First, I grabbed pots and pans of different sizes, shapes, and weights and checked how they fit on the stove. To my surprise, all the cookwares I have in my house were sturdy on the stove. The stove is not too heavy for a portable wood-burning stove, but it is heavy enough to support bigger and heavier pots. When we started the fire, I was impressed with how little fuel was required for its operation. We used just two small wood planks, and it was enough to produce a lot of heat for about 20 minutes. We tested the stove and decided to boil a whole pot of water, which was done quickly. We played with the bottom damper door, and it works. When you open the door wide, the stove produces more heat and burns wood faster; when you close the door, the stove produces less heat and burns wood slower. Before purchasing this stove, we cooked our meals on portable propane stoves during our camping trips. A couple of times per trip, we cooked on fire pits when we wanted a nice smell from burning wood in our meals, but we could not do it too often as it is not easy to cook on fire pits and requires a lot of wood. I can say that whose two wood planks we used in this wood stove for non-stop 20 minutes of burning will be enough only for starting a fire in a fire pit. So I can say cooking on this stove requires about 20-30 times less wood than cooking on a fire pit. Plus, on the stove, I have control over the burning intensity, all heat is directed to the pot and not wasted, and I do not worry that I can flip over a pot by accident. I am excited that now we can cook all the meals on our camping trips on the wood stove, meaning that all our meals will have that delicious wood-burning smell. :))))) Long story short, I finally understood why this stove is so compact. There is no need to make it bigger! This stove is very fuel efficient, compact and securely supports different cookwares. Great Stove, Great Quality, Great Value! - Acielle

Customer review:

I LOVE this tent. This tent held up after a week in the rocky mountains, the badlands, heavy rainstorms and more. When I got to the badlands a heavy gust of wind came through and broke a bunch of peoples tents, & the pole for my tent broke aswell. I managed to get it to work for the rest of the trip, but had to get a new pole. REI sells an orange 8' pole that is adjustable and made of aluminum. It works even better with this tent. The pole that comes with this tent is fiberglass, very strong but it still broke under the wind. I get so many compliments on this tent, I can stand in it, its waterproof, keeps the bugs out and it takes like 10 mins to set up and 10 mins to take down. GET THIS TENT U WONT REGRET IT! - Atlas

Customer review:

This is one of the cutest children suitcases I have ever seen whether its used for actual travel or sleepovers with friends and/or Grandma & Grandpa!! It's very sturdy - my two year old granddaughter rode around the house while straddling the suitcase. There are two zippered compartments, an area for the majority of clothes with a buckled strap as well as a small cosmetic bag - you know, for all of their toiletries!!! She did manage to fill it with a comb, tooth brush, toothpaste, chap stick, etc....All of the zippered compartments kept her busy for a good hour. Once she filled her suitcase with everything she could find she promptly announced "I'm ready"!!! The only drawback I found was the exterior zipper - I think from what I could tell the zipper needs to be pushed around rather than pulled which is a bit unusual but workable. I held off on purchasing this for quite a while, but thrilled that I finally decided to pull the trigger!! Don't hesitate. You won't be disappointed!!! - liz lowry

10 Tips for First-Time Skiing

Nikki Campbell — Fri, 21 Oct 2022 08:45:35 GMT

Is this your first time skiing and you have a million questions, such as what to wear when skiing for the first time, where to find the best ski resorts for first-timers, do I need ski lessons, or can I just hit the slopes instantly? As a beginner, what ski equipment do I need, and should I buy or rent skis?

Photo by Daniel Frank / Unsplash

Questions, questions, questions! It's natural to have questions as a first-time skier or someone who is relatively new to skiing; we've all been there! Believe me!

1. Learning to Ski is Never Too Late!

Photo by Kieran Wood / Unsplash

It is never too late to learn to ski, no matter how young or old you are! That's coming from someone who began learning to ski at the age of 30 with no prior snow-related experience.

Learning to ski as a child is undoubtedly easier (because children are fearless! ), but you can easily learn to ski as an adult, especially if you are physically active and committed to it.

2. Rent your Ski Gear

Photo by Anne Nygård / Unsplash

When skiing for the first time, you really don't need to buy ski equipment. Instead, for your first time skiing, we recommend renting ski equipment.

Photo by Elion Jashari / Unsplash

This is because you most likely have no idea what ski equipment you require or which type of skis and boots you will prefer once you've mastered the sport.

3. Get Travel Insurance for Skiing

Photo by Maarten Duineveld / Unsplash

One of the most important things to know before going skiing for the first time is that you can get skiing-specific travel insurance. If you're going skiing for the first time in another country, or even if you've been skiing for a while, make sure you have travel insurance!

This is especially important for ski trips, as skiing accidents can happen even if you are an experienced skier, not to mention when you are just starting out.

We don't want to scare you, but as with anything in life, skiing is not without risk, and if something goes wrong, you'll be glad you're insured.

4. Never Ski Without a Helmet!

We've discussed skis, boots, and poles, but there's one crucial item missing from a beginner's skiing equipment list. The ski helmet!

Photo by Cyprien Delaporte / Unsplash

A helmet is an absolute must for first-time skiers!!! In fact, it's an absolute must-have for any type of skier! It would be extremely foolish not to wear a helmet. You can either rent a helmet along with your other ski equipment, or you can buy an affordable ski helmet online.

5. Buy Your Own Ski Goggles

Ski goggles are one item that you cannot rent but must have. Snow goggles can be quite expensive, but as a beginner skier, you don't need to rush out and buy the most expensive snow goggles available.

Photo by Karsten Winegeart / Unsplash

On Amazon, you can find inexpensive snow goggles and ski equipment for beginners that will suffice for your first ski trip.

6. Layer Up!

Layering up is essential when skiing and will keep you from having a bad first day due to being too cold or too hot. The clothing layers are there to be removed or added based on the weather and how cold or hot you feel. You typically dress in three layers.

7. Ski Boots Should Fit Tightly But Not Too Tight

Photo by Kellie Enge / Unsplash

As a first-time skier, you may not realize that your ski boots are very stiff and should fit you very tightly to get the best performance out of them. There should be no room for your feet to wobble.

Photo by Colin Lloyd / Unsplash

When standing normally, your toes will lightly touch the front of the boot. This is normal because, when skiing, you will lean into the boot tongue to transfer energy from your legs to your skis via the stiff boots. When you lean forward into your boots, your feet will naturally slide back, which is the position you want.

8. Chose a Beginner-Friendly Ski Resort

Photo by Moa Alexandersson / Unsplash

You're probably wondering where to go for your first time skiing if you're just starting out. As a first-time skier, you should go to a ski resort with a beginner area; otherwise, the slopes will be too steep and you will not have a good first skiing day.

Photo by Neora Aylon / Unsplash

Keep in mind that while most resorts have some kind of beginner area, also known as bunny slopes, not all of them are great.

9. Be Confident But Not Too Confident!

Photo by Glade Optics / Unsplash

Be self-assured and push yourself to make progress. However, be aware of your own capabilities! Don't be reckless and take on challenges you're not ready for because it will almost certainly result in injury.

10. Practice Makes Perfect!

Photo by Tim Arnold / Unsplash

You won't be able to learn to ski in a single day. Skiing requires practice and dedication. So, when you're feeling discouraged and about to give up, keep going! If you are dedicated, you will eventually become a skilled skier. We guarantee it!

Things to Do When Visiting Disney in Winter

Nikki Campbell — Fri, 21 Oct 2022 08:44:10 GMT

Winter can be a beautiful time of the year to visit Walt Disney World. The weather is usually mild, the crowds are small, and there are plenty of activities to keep you entertained. Here are ten things you should know as you plan your winter vacation at the most magical place on earth!

Magic Kingdom's Holiday-Themed Event

The Christmas season at Magic Kingdom is a special time of year. There are decorations and music galore! The best way to enjoy Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is with a special event ticket, which can be purchased for select nights after Halloween through Christmas.

Consider Staying at a Disney World Resort Hotel

Photo by Ricardo Lopez / Unsplash

With fewer crowds, you'll have more time to visit Disney parks. If you're staying at a Disney World Resort Hotel, take advantage of Extra Magic Hours that are offered early in the morning or late at night. With these hours, you can park hop without feeling rushed. They're worth every minute!

Plan a Couples Date Night

Want to have a quiet night with your spouse? Consider taking them to one of the resorts' kid's activity centers. The kids will be having so much fun they won’t even notice you’re gone. And don't worry! At these activity centers, they can make crafts, play games, watch Disney movies, and dinner is included in the cost!

Locations include:

Simba's Cubhouse at Disney's Animal Kingdom Lodge

Lilo's Playhouse at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort

Cub's Den at Disney's Wilderness Lodge, Sandcastle Club at Disney's Beach Club Resort

Camp Dolphin at Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel.

Make Valentine's Day Special.

Planning a romantic getaway to the Happiest Place on Earth? There are so many wonderful ways to show your loved one a good time. Whether you want to dine at Cinderella’s Royal Table and dance under the stars or let your hair down on the Rockin’ Roller Coaster, there’s something for everyone.

Photo by Brian McGowan / Unsplash

Don’t forget that you should book any special reservations well before your trip to make sure that you get what you want.

Disney Springs is the Place to Be!

The Christmas season is always a magical time of year at Disney Springs. The weather is perfect, so you aren't melting as you move from shop to shop. Plus, early in the winter season, there's the opportunity to explore the Christmas Tree Trail, which has numerous Disney-themed Christmas trees on display.

Photo by Brian McGowan / Unsplash

You can also meet Santa Claus! After the year wraps up, some of the shops offer discounted merchandise especially if it's Christmas-themed or has the old year on it.

Epcot is the Place to Visit!

Photo by Donovan Reeves / Unsplash

Epcot is a great place to be during the winter season. In addition to the fact that Magic Kingdom has Christmas events going on, Epcot also has two special festivals: The Epcot International Festival of Holidays and The International Festival of Arts.

Photo by Valentin G / Unsplash

The first one starts in early winter and takes place over a few weeks. It features storytellers, holiday food from various countries around the world, and yummy holiday drinks.

Photo by Kadyn Pierce / Unsplash

One of my favorite parts about this festival is that you can watch the Candlelight Processional show which features talented singers telling the story of Christmas through song. After this festival wraps up, another one called The International Festival of Arts begins. This festival features visual artistry, entertainment, performances and even some tasty treats!

Hollywood Studios Gets Into the Holiday Spirit

In the early part of winter and through the Christmas Season, guests can watch special fireworks and a projection display on Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Sunset Blvd comes alive with Sunset Seasons Greetings, where it snows on Sunset Blvd, and there is a fantastic projection show on the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror.

Seasonal Goodies are a Good Way to Kick Off your Holidays

Lastly, Disney’s Winter season brings special treats! From Minnie ear headbands to that perfect t-shirt, there is a variety of merchandise available for just about all your needs.

Photo by Brian McGowan / Unsplash

Try one of the many seasonal treats located in the different parks, Disney resorts, and even Walt Disney World Resort’s Disney Springs. From that perfect Christmas beverage to the Festival of Arts pop treats, and sweet Valentine’s inspired chocolate-covered strawberries… enjoy until your appetite is content!

Bought the black/navy combo. Love it..very attractive and matches my navy carry on luggage. Has a loop on the back to fit over luggage handle. Love the way this bag opens from top with a wide "mouth". Makes items easily accessible and it has a light colored lining with stripes so it makes them easy to locate as well..no getting lost in a black hole. Has interior slip pockets and one zip closure pocket inside to organize. There is a usb port that you connect to your own portable charger inside and have access outside to connect your phone but I will use the connections that came with my portable charger. Roomy zip on outside for easy access to things you want handy..such as pens, small notebook, makeup, etc. Zip pocket on out back that goes against your body when worn as backpack. More secure for your phone, keys or a small coin purse/credit cards. Bottle/umbrella holder on each side or one that can be used for kleenex access but I'd probably use the outside zip pocket for those. Easy clean nylon material. Well thought out design. Looked at many versions but the Lovevook bags won me over for organization and athestetics. Lots of choices in colors. Also purchased the mini backpack they make as European travel personal items are more restrictive in size than domestic travel here in the U.S. - pam selje

Taking Your Children Out Skiing? You Will Need to Prepare the Following Things

Danny William — Tue, 18 Oct 2022 10:43:51 GMT

Winter is approaching and if you're looking forward to your children skiing this season, then it's time to prepare. Going skiing is a fun and adventurous experience for families. If you're taking your children to the mountains, here are some things you will need to pay attention to make sure your children are having fun while being comfortable and safe.

Board and Stick Poles

Source: Amazon

There are two types of boards: snowboard (single) and skiboard (double). Regardless of which board you choose, its length, surface, shape, and hardness must be considered. The length needs to be based on the child's height and weight. Here's a tip, you can measure the appropriate length starting from the ground to the distance between their chin and the bridge of the nose. You can also refer to the size chart below.

As for the ski poles, as long as they can bend their elbow to a 90-degree angle when they hold the handles, it should be fine. For reference, a child with a 4 ft tall can use 2 ft long ski poles.

Boots and Bindings

Source: IFIXIT

Both the boots and the fasteners have to be comfortable to wear and fit well to the board. Since their tightness can be adjusted, buying boots that are 1 size larger is sometimes also recommended. Also, here's a tip on how to save some money, some sport stores allow you to purchase new boots with a discount if you trade in your old boots.

Ski Suit

The suit you choose for your sweetheart should be warm, windproof, and waterproof, and it should not be made of cotton. Although cotton material can absorb sweat, and yes, you still sweat even when it's cold, cotton does not dry easily. Your children will easily catch a cold by wearing sweaty clothes.

Source: AliExpress

Three layers of clothing should be enough to make you comfortable.

The first inner layer should be breathable. You can consider UNIQLO's Heattech long-sleeved shirt and trousers, GAP, Champion, or any other sports brand.
The second layer should be about keeping your body warm. You can consider thick fiber or merino wool sweaters and trousers.
The outer layer will be the ski suit itself, which can be divided into upper and lower parts. When purchasing, pay attention to the waterproof index and warmth index, the higher the better. Cuffs from both the jacket and pants should have a windproof design to prevent snow from entering the suit when sitting or bending over. Do not substitute your suit with flannel, cotton, or a thick jacket as they are not waterproof, easy to dip in snow, and easily torn

Gloves

Similar to the ski suit, your gloves must be waterproof, windproof, and warm. To prevent snow from entering the gloves, tuck the cuffs into your suit. There are mainly two types of gloves: gloves with a place for each finger and mittens, basically one hole for the thumb and one big hole for the rest.

Source: Skiing Kids

Although it is not that convenient to constantly put on and take off the "gloves", they are more flexible when gripping the ski pole handle and skiing. That's why wearing gloves is always more recommended than wearing mittens.

Socks

Source: GearJunkie

Ski socks are different from the socks you usually wear. They are not made of cotton but are generally made of wool-mixed fibers. Also, in order to prevent friction from snow boots, the socks are very long, about the top of the calf below the knee.

Other Protective Gears

Source: Men's Journal

Helmet
Different than a regular bicycle helmet, a ski helmet has ear pads and can be worn with goggles.
Goggles
Wearing goggles can protect your sweetheart from approaching wind and snow when skiing. Goggles should be made of solid materials, be waterproof, and have certain impact resistance, anti-fogging (the coating is usually inside, so be careful when wiping), and UV protection. There is generally foam on the inside of the frame to increase comfortability when wearing. You should also consider its compatibility with your helmet.
Ski Mask
For children, consider wearing a balaclava, which is a type of ski mask that covers all parts of the head except the eyes as it provides better protection.

8 Things You Need to Prepare Before Seeing the Aurora

Danny William — Tue, 18 Oct 2022 08:55:05 GMT

The Northern Lights, also known as the aurora borealis, is a natural phenomenon – an incredible light show in the sky that can paint the entire sky with colors of green, purple, and red. It's not something we can see often in many parts of the world, but those lucky enough to see it will remember it for many years to come.

Are you planning a trip to see the Northern Lights? Or maybe you're wondering if you should take a chance and visit Iceland? Either way, here are the 8 things you need to prepare before seeing the aurora.

What to Wear

In case you are not aware yet, aurora can only be seen in the part of the world where it's dominantly cold. Even so, you don't need to dress like the Michelin Man. You can wear three layers and still feel comfortable.

Source: The Intrepid Guide

If you want to be able to change conveniently between low-temperature and room-temperature environments, consider the onion-style method. Using this method, you only need to wear mainly two types of clothing, the inner and the outer. For the outer, you would want to wear a two-layered jacket, one layer being a waterproof windbreaker while the other layer is made of warm wool. This is to prevent outside wind from entering your body and causing you to catch a cold. Most people may sometimes opt for a neck scarf as well. As for the inside, either a thermal undershirt or even a T-shirt should be enough.

Gloves can make your life easier

In addition to the above attires, if you want to stay longer in the cold, having gloves is a must. Ski gloves are the more popular choice, but the problem is that the material is sometimes unnecessarily heavy and you may need to take them off every time you need to use your smartphone.

That's why you should spend more time looking for the right one. Consider buying a more comfortable and lighter style that enables using your camera or smartphone, so you never miss a moment.

Snow chain is unnecessary

As long as you are driving on a public road with asphalt, avoiding mountain roads and seasons when it snows heavily, gearing your car with the snow chain is not necessary. Additionally, there are snowplow trucks clearing the snow and spreading salt to maintain the road every day. Right now, Canada and the United States do not allow using snow chains.

Source: Jaroslav Moravcik

Snowy road: driving and parking 101

Do not powerfully stomp either your brake or your gas pedal, to prevent your vehicle from skidding. If you ever find yourself skidding a little, slightly moving your steering wheel should be enough to bring you back to balance. This is why it's important to not speed and leave some distance to stop your vehicle safely.

If you are driving during November and December when the temperature is usually the lowest, make sure you park your vehicle near engine heaters and connect it to your car to prevent your car engine from freezing.

Photography equipment

Nowadays, with the improvement of the performance of equipment, you can take pictures of the northern light with some manual-operated micro monoculars or even high-end small cameras, as long as they have good noise control and pure high-sensitivity ISO performance, combined with a tripod and a large aperture to extend the exposure time, most of them can record the graceful dance of the aurora. But keep in mind that aurora is a large-scale natural phenomenon, so it is recommended to use a wide-angle or fisheye lens for shooting.

How to take beautiful pictures

Source: Finding the Universe

Taking pictures of the aurora may be a little bit more complicated if you want to capture its elegant movement. When shooting the aurora, most people will use a high sensitivity above ISO 1600 with a large aperture. Generally speaking, the aperture of F4 is sufficient, but don’t forget to adjust the focus to manual, and then turn the focus position to infinity.

When you are ready, you can carefully observe the dancing movement of the aurora, and then press the shutter for the long exposure time, usually about 5 to 15 seconds. If the brightness is high and the movement is fast, you may need to close the shutter early. Therefore, when shooting, you should keep your eyes on the situation of the aurora. Sometimes you can close the shutter for a big turning picture, because if the aurora changes too fast, although it's very beautiful to our own eyes, it may be too blurry in the image presentation, and the beauty would not be captured perfectly.

Dealing with different brightness

Generally speaking, the brightness of the aurora is divided into 10 levels. The camera needs more than 30 seconds to clearly identify brightness level 1 and 2, otherwise it will look like a white smoke, lightly floating in the air. Level 3 and 4 will slowly begin to turn from white to green, appearing in front of our eyes as light green light, which is commonly known as green light. Brightness level 5 and higher will be very dazzling, and the change in color is crystal clear visible, with the light lavender color sometimes emerging in the night sky.

Source: Life in Norway

If you are extremely extremely lucky, you may have the opportunity to see the aurora with level 8-10 brightness, illuminating the earth. During this moment, quick, take out your iPhone and snap.

Keep yourself informed of the weather

If you are using iOS, here are the two app you can consider downloading.

Aurora - By Roger Moffatt http://goo.gl/cC3Rl4
Aurora Forecast - by TINAC Inc http://goo.gl/Mc053j

Through those free apps, you can observe the geomagnetic response and radius trend of the aurora, so as to know its predictability. There are 5 levels in total.

Source: Flora the Explorer

Although the predictability of the aurora is based on sunspots and geomagnetic reaction, if the weather is not supportive and thick clouds covered the sky, the northern light would not be visible, no matter how exaggerated and beautiful it bursts all over the earth. That's why it's important to look for the aerial condition on satellite cloud images, analyze the route, and plan properly. You can also utilize the aurora forecast website provided by the University of Alaska below.

Aurora Forecast | Geophysical Institute

Forecasts of auroral activity, updated daily.

Geophysical Institute

In addition, you should also pay attention to the position of the moon and the change in the lunar phase, as the brightness of the moon will also affect the brightness of the aurora. Many people always visit on days during the new moon where the aurora is less affected by the moonlight. However, it is actually beneficial sometimes to have moonlight. In this way, parts of the landscape can be clearly captured without exposing for too long, but of course the magnificence of the aurora depends on the brightness level of the performance at that time.

Gear Doctors ApolloAir Sleeping Pad is the perfect balance for mobility, comfort, and warmth. It is the same size and weight of a 500 ml water bottle. This sleeping pad is 3.2 inches thick and is a combination of a protective layer, insulation layer, and design layer.

Customer review:

I purchased this pad as a backup for my Big Agnus. I go on a Colorado high country hunting trip every Sept. I compared the 2 side by side and have some information for others if interested. Cost The top quality pads are traditionally around $200 but this pad is half of that. Also, this pad comes with an inflation bag. I had to purchase that separate with the Big Agnus as you can see the orange inflater bag is from Sea to Summit. Weight Gear Dr (GD) - 16.8 oz Big Agnus Q Core SLX (BA) - 17.6 oz Size and Shape As you can see, the GD is a little longer and has more of a mummy shape. It also packs down a little smaller. Take into consideration that I have used the BA many times before and that the GD is new and we all know things are smaller new as you can never get them back into the original packaging. Noise This is always the challenge with UL pads. They may be super light, but they sound like you are rolling around on a snare drum. I had the NeoAir pad in the past and it was light as could be but too noisy for me. The BA is slightly quieter and it has a softer feel to the touch. I have not slept on the GD pad yet but in my initial comparison, it does not seem to be significant. Nights on the pad will tell. Considerations and Opinions The BA pad has the ability to inflate it and push a value to let air out a little at a time. This allows easy adjustment to your preferred comfort. The GD pad does not. However, I under inflated the GD pad and then just added air a breath at a time and this was an easy fix. In my opinion, I think this pad will be great for back sleepers. The baffles are left to right. I prefer up and down baffles as (at least in my head) this helps me from rolling off the pad at night. Overall, I really like this pad and plan to test it next month to see how it performs in the mountains. I was not able to rate the sleeping comfort at this time but by initial assessment is positive. I prefer a slightly under-inflated pad to over-inflated for my sleeping comfort. Beginners traditionally inflate to max fill and then the pad is more like a trampoline than a sleeping pad. I made this mistake early in my backpacking but not anymore. Overall, I think this pad has a lot of potential. It's less than half the cost and lighter in weight that my current pad. For the younger cost conscious back sleepers out there, I think this is certainly an item where you can save a few bucks and still get a good UL pad. The cost to weight ratio is excellent. Take the money you save here and put that toward a better bag or quilt. This may also serve the side sleepers out there... Time will tell as to the quality and durability but the company has a lifetime warranty. Overall, I would recommend this purchase and have recommended it to others that are going on the trip with me this Sept. - John Paulson

A large full service hotel in the perfect location. We were taking a Disney cruise and the hotel is on the waterfront across the street from the cruise terminal. We were able to walk to almost all the shopping areas in Vancouver easily and the trip to and from the airport was fairly easy with frequent shuttles or Uber service. The rooms are large, clean and the restaurants are very nice. It has huge convention capabilities and all the services in the hotel were up and running with a friendly staff.. - AuggieDaddy

Very conveniently located hotel (within walking distance to different city districts) , spacious rooms, excellent service provided by reception staff. We would like to express our gratitude especially to Celine for her professionalism and nice attitude. - Excursion16175038174

Our stay at the Sheraton Wall Center was all that we could want for our 2 night stay before our Rocky Mountaineer trip. It's City Center location was great for restaurants and just general walking about. The hotel room was very nice and clean and comfortable. For a two day stay there was no housekeeping but that was fine with us. Our room on a higher floor looked out over the City Center. There is a north and a south tower. Both are all glass. Apparently it is code now that buildings here have to be glass. Very few old buildings remain due to a terrible fire years ago. I noticed how all of the glass towers reflected in each other - a guide said it was intended that way so on dreary days, what little light there was would be reflected over and over. We walked everywhere. We had dinner at restaurant on Coal Harbour where we watched sea planes take off and land all thru dinner. The Olympic flame from the Vancouver Olympics is down there too. We found a craft brewery just a few blocks away. The hotel check in and check out was efficient. We did not have a car so I don't know how parking was - none was attached to the hotel. - Poodletoes

Fantastic hotel centrally located within easy walking distance to the waterfront/gas town/China Town and bit further walk to Stanley Park. The rooms are very spacious, there were 3 of us, with everything you would need for your stay. Plenty of restaurants nearby...breakfast try The temptation on Granville St, dinner try Earls just behind hotel. Great market store two blocks down. Even though on busy corner ,at the 6th floor,we didn't hear any noise throughout the night. - sallydavis1105

A first class stay. We arrived early evening and check in was smooth and efficient. The room was spacious and very well equipped, whilst the bathroom offered a wide range of toiletries. Without doubt, this hotel offered THE best room lighting we have encountered. Specific overhead downlights in addition to side lights afforded excellent night time reading. We welcomed the evening courtesy visit by housekeeping, to further supplement any needs. Wide, comfortable beds ensured restful sleep. A pleasure to stay. - mfE7753UF

Had a one night stay as part of a Vancouver staycation. The experience was thoroughly exceptional. The service was impeccable from the warm towels at check in to the personal escort to the elevator and bottled water from valet upon check out, we had an amazing stay. There is a plaque in the understated hotel lobby that say s this is one of the worlds best hotels. Appreciated the personal welcome letter with fruit in the room. The hotel was very quiet, and while not overly opulent, it was modern and refined in a dignified way. I have travelled a lot around the world, and this ranks up at the top of my list of exceptional hotel experiences. The employees are a gem, they personify quality and customer care! - christinern

My husband and I visited Vancouver at the start of August for a total of five nights. Because we had sandwiched our trip to Seattle in the middle - we had two different experiences. The first check-in at the start of our trip was smooth - we managed to get a room early and Vincent was a delight to deal with. We took the offer to upgrade to an executive room (balcony) with breakfast, and were glad we did. My husband did wish there had been more options for the breakfast, however the different courses was a nice idea. The bed was faultless and was very comfortable, though the sheets sometimes were tired and torn in small places. When we checked in again after our Seattle trip, the hotel was fully booked because of a cruise. This made the check-in service feel dismissive and rushed and when we came back at 3pm for our room, it still was not ready. We were then given an accessible room (which we had not requested), and were told that nothing could be done for the first night because they were fully booked. So we stayed the first night begrudgingly, and as predicted the accessible bathroom meant the water from the shower leaked substantially over the floor. This was the first time we were given an accessible room though we had not booked one. We were however moved to a different room the next day - thanks to Hasan and Vincent. The staff really are a credit to the hotel and one of the best things about it - a special thanks to Vincent, and Charlie and Brendon at Concierge. Brendon thank you for arranging to send my husband's sunglasses all the way back to the UK! The cleaning staff were also great, did a thorough job, and unlike other hotels, they really make sure that you do not need to keep calling to request water/ toiletries/ towels etc. We have a tendency to stay at S-La when travelling, and if ever in Vancouver again, we would not hesitate to book it. The location of the hotel and the service is perfect. - nb916

Friendly staff, beautiful hotel, convenient location! We checked in on Friday 10/7 at around 10 p.m. When we pulled up to the valet, the gentleman was very friendly and helpful with giving us information on the self-park. The front desk agent (a nice lady) provided a very warm welcome and seamless check-in experience. I had asked for cola's (since we were thirsty from our long drive) and she happily retrieved it for us. During our stay, when we interacted with the front desk they were always nice and friendly. Even just passing through the lobby, the front desk agent would greet us with a "hello" as we were just passing through. The room was gorgeous - - being a gold member, we had gotten an upgrade to a corner suite with a balcony. Views of Yaletown were so pretty. The hotel location is SUPER convenient and walkable to BC Stadium, Chinatown, Waterfront and Granville street, where the nightlife and shopping is. Wonderful weekend getaway! Superb Hotel! - ivonnel568

From start to finish, this was a good experience. We had stayed here previously, when it was under another brand and nothing has changed. All the staff is great (friendly and willing to help) from the porters to front desk and housekeeping. Extra towels were delivered within 10 minutes. It has a lovely pool. The beds are firm and not worn out like so many other hotels we have been to. Highly recommended plus a great location for shopping and business. - lg73

Yes, this hotel is expensive, but so is everything right at this moment in time. If its within your budget, you will enjoy your stay here. Despite the universal shortage of staff plaguing the service industry in Canada and the U,S., the staff at this Hilton couldn't have been nicer or more helpful. This includes he excellent onsite restaurant for breakfast, drinks and dinner. The staff there was outstanding. This hotel has underground parking with self parking in and out privileges at a cost per day. Valet is more. Our suite was well designed and the hotel location cannot be beat. We will not hesitate to make this our hotel during our return visit. - Parrot434

We stayed at the JW Parq Hotel for 3 nights for our wedding weekend and couldn’t be more thrilled with it! Every single staff member was so kind and went out of their way to make our stay amazing. The suite is beautiful, with unbelievable views of Vancouver. It was super cool to see BC Place from this angle. The suites also made our getting ready photos look so glamorous!! They even let us do our First Look moment on their terrace which was the perfect romantic backdrop. We got to take advantage of all the amenities around the hotel as well, the hot tub(with yummy cocktails!), the casino, and ate at Honey Salt a couple times. So much fun! This hotel has definitely ruined all other hotels and Airbnbs for us now, the level of quality and luxury is next level! We look forward to staying there again, as often as we can! - yfn

This hotel was one of the nicest hotels we have ever stayed in. The room was very clean and smelled great. The staff were all VERY polite and helpful. I am a platinum member so I had access to the lounge and it was also the nicest lounge I have ever visited. Very friendly staff and very good selection of food and snacks. Great location, we never took our car out of the garage and we stayed three nights. - 492tommyp

I booked 3 rooms at the JW Parq for 1 night each, 2 with Marriott Points and cash for one. All 3 rooms were amazing and super comfortable. I was able to use Suite Night rewards for an upgraded room and the Executive Suite was beautiful. The staff was super helpful and friendly. This was our second time staying at this property and I will continue to stay here anytime we visit Vancouver. - MCH65

I only stayed one night but would definitely return. My waterfront view room was superb and well worth the extra money for the treat. Breakfast and dinner in the airy dining room were very good, nice staff. I was there for Thanksgiving and appreciated the turkey dinner. The location was excellent, only 1 block from the Canada Place cruise ship terminal and the beautiful seawall walk. - donmar55

We celebrated our anniversary here, and the experience was absolutely amazing. We had heard that the rooms were a bit dated, but don’t let that deter you. The service and cleanliness makes it a treat to stay, and it really isn’t that dated at all. The location is fantastic, too. We were able to get a parking spot, and left our car for our stay as we walked to the water taxis and to Stanley Park. The one downside was the internet- it was pretty much unusable. Otherwise, excellent time overall, and a good value for the area. Would stay again! - CanadianOnVacation22

Everything was excellent at Pan Pacific Vancouver, with a fabulous view and quiet and clean rooms. We stayed for five nights in Sept 2022. The room on the 14th floor with double beds was large enough for a family of 3. - cumhurm2022

My wife and I stayed here for just 1 night for a quick trip to Vancouver. I decided to treat us to the relatively pricey Ofuro suite as an early anniversary treat. We had high expectations and all of them were not just met but surpassed. The hotel is absolutely stunning and in a perfect location. The Ofuro suite took our breath away with the corner views overlooking the harbor with mountains in the back and the city to our right. The view alone made the room well worth the price but on top of that, everything had a luxurious yet soothing feeling from the bed, the tub/shower, the robes, to even the soft carpet and silky soaps and lotions. It was like having our own personal spa in our hotel room. The service was absolutely top notch as well. Everyone was so kind to us- the front desk ladies, the doormen, servers, everyone. They even left a bottle of champagne chilling for us in our room with glasses since they knew we were celebrating our anniversary. I will absolutely be staying here again and highly recommend others treat themselves to this hotel as well. - moorm142

This hotel is beautiful and modern. It is in an excellent location in downtown Vancouver near the waters edge. Lovely upmarket feel and rooms come with all the extras you would select at this price point. The hotel has quite a chic vibe and it’s bar area is clearly one of the places for the “in crowd” to hang out at in the evening. I was a little disappointed in lack of buffet breakfast. Breakfast was a la carte only. Not great if you just want toast and a croissant with some cereal. Coffee was only filter coffee and orange juice was not freshly squeezed which is also not one would expect at this price point. Aside from the disappointing breakfast however this is a great hotel. - Redrated

Awesome lobby with live music, bar, fireplace, art exhibits, what a place to be. Restaurant was delicious, service was fabulous. Great views, room and amenities were great. Heated pool was awesome, hot tub small but enjoyable. Spa was fabulous, two rooftop hot tubs, rooftop sauna and sitting area with heat tables, men's changeroom had a steam room, women's had incredible showers. - Onionsneakers

Amazing hotel! Location is perfect and walking distance from most of the downtown attractions.

Hotel was super clean and room was big enough for our family of 4) - Tolstiak

Great location, hotel nice and clean, very attentive. Loved having Starbucks in the lobby. Beds were a dream! Needed extra pillows, staff were great at communicating and ensuring our stay was a good experience. Will definitely stay at this location again. - justwantsun

Excellent location, amazing breakfast, clean rooms. Staff was polite and welcoming. Spent 3 nights at the Hyatt Regency, Vancouver. Most of the places are walkable and the hotel is next to a subway station. Easy commute to the airport via skytrain. The mattress was extra soft and not to my liking as it would sink in when you lay down. - RaghavSethi

This was our second week at the new diner. The delightful person who waited our table, Victoria, came with experience to this new diner. It is in the location of what was another local hang out. The decor is new and fun, music 50s/60s but not obtrusive, there is a pleasant diner vibe, but not overly slick like some American chains. The food was good, prices reasonable, AC working on very hot day( but they need blinds), it was spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. - suemB4875UR

Cute rooms, nice staff, good food, great value, awesome neighbourhood. A staycation favourite! Comfortable beds, spacious, loved the record player and kitchenette, we got a room with a balcony which was nice for fresh air. Nice and quiet, surprisingly! Riverdale is an awesome area with great shops, and a little further and you’re in Leslieville, with eclectic food and shopping. The best place to stay in the East end. - rebeccagO6571FT

A very nice boutique hotel, the sparkling & still water in the hallway is such a nice touch. The record player is so cool. The room was clean and cute. The bathroom was beautiful & all of the soaps and lotion on the wall was very convenient. I will definitely visit again and recommend to friends & family. - TravelMI04

Around the corner from all the luxury stores and well located in general. Room was nice; maybe a bit understated or basic for the brand. But, the service was really great — consistently there to open doors, greet you, and super responsive via text message. Overall a very pleasant business stay and I would be happy to come back, mainly due to the staff. - mdriess

We had a standard room that exceeded expectation on every level starting with the layout which was not your standard set up. The mini bar, Nespresso machine and drinks cabinet in the 'entrance lobby was a classy touch and the bathroom was beautifully designed and finished with a huge walk in rain shower. The good quality bluetooth speaker was another big plus as were the low lights that came on if you needed the bathroom in the middle of the night. Every member of staff was always polite and always helpful and went out of their way if you needed advice or directions on where to go in Toronto. Perfectly positioned for the Museum, Casa Loma and a really swish shopping district. Jump on the Metro at Museum station and you can be at Union (for the CN Tower, Aquarium, Blue Jays Stadium etc.) in 15 mins. - Crossbadger

We stayed at the Hyatt on a family trip to Toronto. The staff was very professional and friendly. The property was very modern, clean, and conveniently located near shops and Wholefood. I highly recommend this property! - 127calvinl

You must reserve parking in advance, as they do not have adequate space. We parked a block away and it was about the same price. Everyone was so accommodating adn friendly, the bar and restaurant are patronized by regulars and locals, in addition to hotel guests and the food was really good. The area is still in development, but there are lots of great spots to dine within walking distance. Most things you'd want to visit as a tourist are not walkable and driving there is a nightmare. Parking gets pricey too, nowhere is it free, - bucksbabe1720

I just have to give all of my appreciation to this hotel. I received a phone call from Tarrin today regarding my stay. I had booked this hotel through Expedia. We had an out of province family emergency and in all the chaos and stress I completely forgot to cancel my reservation. I sent an email to the hotel explaining my situation and received a phone call today saying the would reverse all charges. I cannot explain how grateful and appreciative I am. Top notch compassion and customer service. I will not hesitate to book here again. Once again thank you. - F6144BUamberh

W Hotels does it again! I love the look, vibe and experience at W properties so was naturally inclined to stay at the first W in Ontario. I highly recommend this hotel for people traveling with families. The front desk staff (Priscilla) along with the whenever/wherever team (Curtis & Angelica), went above and beyond to make the stay memorable for my family. We celebrated a birthday here and they were so kind to give our children treats and make them feel special by giving them a card and decorating our room. Everyone from the valet to security team went out of their way to say hello and seemed genuinely happy to be there. The room was spacious, with comfortable beds and located right in the heart of Yorkville. We can’t wait to come back. In the sea of sameness that are hotels, W Toronto is a clear standout. - williamsO8311UW

Wow, hi tech, well thought out and just a neat place. From the retro Frigidaire to the curtains that close after a tug, everything is brand new, high end and functional.

Well despite a couple of so so reviews we stayed at this beautifully located hotel…first the area is spectacular with loads of shopping and restaurants and near the ROM.

We arrived at the Hazelton Hotel too early to check in! The welcoming receptionist asked us if we would mind having lunch in the restaurant and that our room would be ready by the time we finished eating. They came and let us know that our room was ready. Every member of staff was so accommodating and welcoming from the moment we arrived until they had put our luggage in the car to take us to the airport. I have never had that experience before. We loved everything about The Hazelton from the service to the bed linen to the general ambiance, and of course the position, right in the heart of Yorkeville. - susansF2847HL

Location was simply perfect for our first visit to Toronto. The hotel design was spectacular in every way (but honestly for the price I was expecting nothing less). What sets this hotel far apart from its competitors, locally and globally, is the service. From pulling up to the valet and from every moment beyond we were simply blown away by the attention to detail. Our pillow preference, the way we like the temperature set, the COOKIES, the fact that we have 3 last names in our family and they addressed us all properly (no easy fete), help with everything and anything, welcoming our brand new granddaughter with as much excitement as we had and on and on and on! The ONE restaurant also truly exceeded our expectations. We are extensive travelers and former food industry employees (a lifetime ago but the passion is still there) and frankly tend to not favor hotel restaurants. Even at the highest end they are usually necessary amenities and nothing ultimately exciting. You must ignore the price point (which is very high) and dive in. The menu is thoughtful and current without being trendy and is executed to perfection. We had 5 meals there in our 4 days and honestly couldn't even rate which was best. Special thanks to Angela and Alejandra who made us feel more like family, (very honored and treasured family, mind you) than simply hotel guests. Regards to the entire team, day, night and everyone in between as well. We are forever grateful and look forward to coming back. - diannavecchio

My husband and I stayed at The Hazelton in September of 2022. Our experience was above and beyond what we imagined. We were treated like a King and Queen. Our room was beautiful and luxurious, and our dinner and breakfast at ONE Restaurant were perfect. The pool and spa were incredibly relaxing. The staff was really what stood out. I think that's what separates The Hazelton from the rest. They were incredibly friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make our Anniversary special. We can't wait to go back and do it all over again. Unforgettable! - HVioletArt

We stayed as 3 couples each in a Deluxe K with Club Access. Well appointed rooms with good storage and well lit bathrooms (didn’t love the pillows but never asked for a change. If I had, no doubt it would have been accommodated). Great amenities. Everything you would expect of a premier Ritz. However, the Staff made it EXCEPTIONAL. From the front desk to the Club Lounge, the staff could not do more to make us comfortable. The lounge was very well stocked, many great options with good food offerings and a well stocked bar. Well laid out and never felt crowded. Views were amazing. Checking staff was excellent. Despite our status, hotel was full and we weren’t upgraded but we didn’t really need it. Location is very central to everything. My only gripe (minor) was the Doorman. They were not attentive or as helpful as we are accustomed to at a Ritz. Wasn’t consequential for a two day stay. Spa was nice and relaxing. Massage was good. - rimavh

The Ritz-Carlton Visit, So we had another great stay at The Ritz, this time for my birthday, my wife was unable to join us so it was just myself and my daughter. We had decided this time to get the corner suite, initially without the club lounge access. After booking Shea from Guest Experiences had reached out to me, offering suggestions, booking us in to the newly opened Epoch, also bookings for TOCA as well pre booked, I had a lot of interaction with Shea prior to arrival. This was a new experience for us, a lot of text comms on booking and checking on our itineraries etc as well as emails going back and forward, which was a very nice touch. Pre-booking reservations I think is a great idea. After a long Friday night drive through downtown traffic, we arrived fairly late and I checked in with Elizabeth, as I was checking in I was surprised, pleasantly surprised to be greeted by GM Mr. Guillame Benezach who came over to welcome us and say hi. It was great seeing him again and he had gone through great lengths (through our comms) in putting wheels in motion to ensure our stay was great. Now, it had been some years that we had the suite and something was amiss, the room seemed a bit too dark although it was night time and some of the facilities in the room which were previously in the last suite, such as the TV in the bathroom mirrors and heated bathroom floors, also the dividing door was gone. It also looked like the mini-bar/honour bar had gone and a new design of what appeared to be an old style traveling case in place albeit with in-built mini fridge, tea and coffee station. Perhaps there is no demand for this anymore? Although I must admit having a full stocked honor bar is an awesome feeling but I guess people may just be asking an empty fridge to put their own drinks and candy’s in there. I also guess it makes things easier. The writing desk was also not in the main bedroom but in the joining section in-between the bedroom and the sitting area however it did have a built in make-up mirror/light with plug points in there, so fine for doing your make up, but no good for working and a bit weird that there were no power points at the desk top. I’m not sure if I could have routed my laptop to those points but I found some at floor level As a rewards member we had free wifi and it was fast and we were both able to watch youtube on both my own laptop and the TV’s. We had a couple of movie nights and pop-corn to boot which was fantastic. But I couldn’t still get the feeling that this was not quite right, I did want my daughter who didn’t remember her last trip to be as wowed and amazed as I was. Although that said she was actually amazed at the whole room saying how awesome the suite was and her jaw totally dropped on entering the room. Still, I went down to have a chat with Elizabeth who really understood what my concerns where and in true Ritz form, was 100% customer focused on trying to help out. I knew this experience could be better. At this point I met Shea for the first time, who had a lovely gift for my daughter and did explain the main changes in the Ritz and the room redesign but did want me to be happy with my room choices so she suggested a higher floor. I also reconsidered my option for the club lounge. Now this room had a totally different feel, much brighter and it was then that I realised that although the room layout was the same it was actually a brighter, lighter colour carpet that was different. This brightens up the room no end also the higher floor gave more light to the room the view was better and bingo like that we were set. (so tip one, you do need a higher floor, 19 or higher). Both Shea and Elizabeth really made my concerns not seem over the top, you are paying good money and they want you to be happy with the product. I remember apologizing profusely, I felt like some diva who wasn’t getting what she wanted LOL but no, they totally understood and wanted everything to be right, everything to be up to Ritz standard. We dined at Epoch that evening it was great to see Carleen and the food was out of this world. We decided to get best bang for our buck by doing 2 full days of club lounge and to be honest, you really have to think, when you do the math, the club lounge IS WELL WORTH it, you basically have food offerings 5 times a day. Unlimited soft drinks and alcohol, you are staying at a 5 star hotel, when you think for 2 people what you are paying for club lounge you are ACTUALLY saving money but it’s NOT just the food and drink offerings. You are paying for a little piece of relaxation you are dining in style, a beautiful view of the lake, attentive staff this…THIS you cannot put a dollar figure to the staff are able to secure discounts on attractions, make you out of this world cocktails, fantastic cappuccino’s, they offer suggestions and more ! You have to understand, YES you can go out and get a $20 breakfast BUT you are here to relax, enjoy and be pampered, this is what you don’t see when look at prices when booking. From Saturday to Monday we were pretty much stuffed with all the little food offerings. Often nipping up to grab a coffee, a candy or a pop, almost like nipping into your very own BUT well stocked kitchen for a bite to eat, and taking back some bagels or a pastry to your room after breakfast is a must. For the real true Ritz experience if you DO NOT GO club lounge you are missing out. This time round we didn’t go Toca, the offerings were not really to my taste, all though they all sounded exquisite, my daughter was more keen on going out and hitting the night life, although I knew the service would not be the same, my birthday dinner at Moxies which is just across the street was very "lackluster" but when you have an 11 year old fine dining is not really what they are after. Maybe next time. However we made it back to the lounge and Olga made a fantastic take on a Cosmo for me and of course who birthday needs cake when you have The Ritz desserts. I’m not sure why the Ritz Bar was closed, but that was a really nice buzzing place. Very bright and vibrant, a nice place for breakfast and lunch and to hang out in, maybe Epoch is the new Ritz Bar ? but as we had the club lounge we didn’t miss out. My daughter of course LOVED the hot tub and swimming pool and it was just great to relax, the remit for this weekend was RELAX, get pampered and celebrate, my wife def missed out on this weekend. Although there were some glitches and I do mean, very minor ones, the overall experience you just cannot beat, one thing that The Ritz has, it has fantastic grade A customer service EVERYONE you meet from the front door guy’s, the bell, the valets are all totally awesome I mean where else will you see a hotel GM come and greet you. Where else will you see guest experience staff who REALLY DO want to make your experience great. I’ve been to The Ritz now 5 times, by far my most favourite place to stay and relax. It is more expensive than most hotels but you have to understand this is a 5 Star hotel, If you can’t finance a suite go for a deluxe guest room you won’t be disappointed. If a suite YOU must get a high floor. And you MUST, absolutely MUST get club lounge access. I want to give a BIG thank you to ALL the fantastic and hard working Ladies and Gentlemen of The Ritz, the club lounge staff, Shea and of course Mr Benzech for taking the trouble to see that everything was perfect for us. I’m still eyeing up the banquet hall, maybe for a wedding LOL (mind you I have about 8 years to start saving for that!) I hope pictures will be posted here I have 2 video’s on “youtube”, so do visit me on adrianjayonline for those. - Z1460MIadrianj

I stayed at the Ritz Carlton Toronto in a corner suite room for 6 nights in September 2022. The hotel was busy during the early days of my stay due to TIFF. Despite that, the staffs always managed to recognize me, talked to me, and sincerely were caring towards my purposes during the stay. They were always attentive and strived to make my stay more comfortable. A front desk staff, Kateryna, was always very attentive, polite, and friendly. She took care of me in solving some minor issues with my room, ensuring my safety with an incident in the lobby, and printing an important document late at night that eventually saved me a lot of time in my travel later on. The room was luxurious and comfortable, with everything working properly. Mineral water were given generously twice a day. Bathroom was luxurious with a very important feature, an automatic toilet. Bedroom was homey and serene, inducing good night rest. The bed was a bit too soft for me but I still managed to rest comfortably. Location of the hotel is excellent. Lots of dining options are available nearby. Theaters are also within short walking distance. Quite a number of unique and wonderful locally owned coffee places are within walking distance as well. All in all, I would love to be back at Ritz Carlton Toronto in the future. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay there. - Fkristan

We decided to stay at the Four Seasons because of its location and reputation. We were not disappointed. The room was comfortable and stylishly well appointed. The food and service were great at both the Bar Lounge and the main dining room, Cafe Buloud. In particular our servers Lucas @ D Bar Lounge and Shay @ Cafe Buloud looked after us very well. The location was perfect as we could easily walk to all the places we wanted to go to during our 4 day Yorkville culinary adventure. - waynegm54

Had a fantastic stay as usual. I had stayed there for my 50th birthday with two friends in December and had a great time in spite of the fact that the city was in lockdown mode. Fast forward to July where I could finally have a party downtown and celebrate with friends and family. It was fitting that I spend the weekend at one of my favourite places on Toronto aside from my condo. I missed seeing Francis at the porte cochere, he always gives me a warm welcome. I did get to see him when I was back three weeks later, thank you Francis! Front desk wished me a happy belated birthday which was a nice touch. My Deluxe one bedroom suite was amazing of course, spacious and super comfortable. I would recommend it for families as there are two bathrooms and a sofa bed and did I say lots of space? Well I was traveling alone and had the whole thing to myself ha! I was unable to get a spa treatment as they were fully booked. A word of advice to book the spa early to avoid disappointment as they are EXTREMELY popular! I did go and enjoy the pool and had drink while I was at it. Brunch at Cafe Boulud was absolutely in order. Lizelle who is always lovely gave me a warm welcome and got me seated and Kulpreet who was new took really good care of me. I only knew he was new because I had never seen him before, his service and knowledge was impeccable, nicely done! Had a great time at Dbar as well lunch at DAzur, always great food, no complaints whatsoever. I went to visit Sonia in the gift shop who is always lovely. They were out of the bath scent I like and only had the smaller packets. She didn’t give up and called up to the spa to check if they had the larger size and they did, so I took my usual bubble bath with a book and a nice glass of red. Thank you again Four Seasons for a fantastic two days, as always I was in good hands and well taken care of! - Sipsster

The hotel is conveniently locate, has nice facilities, and excellent service. I have nothing but positive things to say about my stay and overall experience. If I am in the area again, I will definitely choose this hotel. - travel31221331

Andy at the front desk was so kind and helpful. Got us our room early and helped us so much. He is excellent. The stay was great and bed was very comfortable. Great location. We were close to everything. - 651safis

I have been staying at the Shangri La Toronto almost once a month during the pandemic. It is my trip away from home known as a staycation. I got to say, although I have stayed at all the 5 star hotels in Toronto, the staff at the SL really make you feel special. Albeit, I’m now considered a regular, their service never waivers, but they always try to maintain consistency with exceptional service. From the valet with Marlon who is always helpful with charging our hybrid car or forgetting something in it, to the front desk staff from Viktoria, Dean and Willow in making checkin seamless, to the room service staff which are always so friendly and accommodating. Now, I understand during the pandemic staffing at hotels have been challenging so getting assistance might not be as readily, but they do make the best efforts to make your experience memorable. Lastly, the CNY/Lunar high tea was amazing. The dim sum portion was top notch. Kudos to the chef and staff. I’m still craving them and it’s been 5 days! If you are looking for a stay in the city, come to the Shangri La. You won’t regret it! - Smilesandgiggles

I would go back to the Shangri-la Toronto tomorrow if I could. Despite a rocky check-in (they wouldn't accept my type of credit card for the check-in and wouldn't take a cash/debit deposit), the team was incredibly patient and professional. I was there on a solo staycation, and can say that every convenience at this hotel was afforded to me. Every staff member knew my name and remembered the smallest details I'd requested, ensuring anyone else who was servicing me was made aware and I didn't have to repeat my request a single time (tipping well may have aided in that experience too, though) The room, the facilities, the spa (fantastic spa btw), even from the valet, there was not a single moment where the team was not ensuring I had the highest standard of service. Having travelled to other "luxury" brands in other cities, I was pleasantly surprised that my best experience was in my own home town. Definitely returning and will look to visiting their other hotels when I travel to other cities. - 294kebaw

Happily 1KW once again proved their excellence in friendly and effective customer service from the moment of arriving on the polished marble doorstep, even when that moment was around midnight. Reservations took great care to find the right room as described and to keep me in it throughout my separately-made reservations and it made my stay perfect! Just as perfect and important were Rachel and Jenny at the front desk. They made every effort to meet and exceed any expectations or requests and did so with resourcefulness and genuine warmth and caring. (Thank you Rachel for tracking me down, but actually cleverly solving things so that you didn't even need to!) Behind all is the best kept secret - Lazara- who is a magician behind the scenes and makes everything better. Cleanliness is excellent and Cafe staff great, with lots of options provided. The only thing I miss is a pool, but guests told me they love the hot tub. The lake and city views make up for less water to actually splash around in and the hotel is close to everything! - M249CBcarolynb

I've stayed at One King twice this year. I orginally booked because the price was reasonable and the location was great. After staying there in April I returned because I was so impressed with the hotel. It is very well kept and clean. Both of my rooms had great views of the CN tower and city. The beds are comfortable, more on the firm side, which I prefer. I bought food and used the kitchenette every day for breakfast. Front desk and the bell staff are courteous and attentive. I found all the staff, regardless of if they were helping me, to be exceptionally kind. Whenever I was in the elevator with someone they would smile, greet me and strike up a conversation. The location is a short walk to the arena, train station, and there are so many great restaurants within minutes of the hotel. I loved going to the Daily Ritual Cafe (which is attached to the hotel) in the morning, grabbing a coffee and walking around the corner to Berczy park to people watching. Overall it's just solid hotel with great staff. I look forward to my next stay. - Skmoon

The best location in downtown Toronto, very nice building the historical and the tower for amazing views. The staff very helpful and friendly from the fist you enter the hotel Welcoming by Mathew to our luggages to level 39, h’s very funny and helpful guy and professional. Thanks again to all staff at the front desk and at the bar and restaurant. - kimmels2019

Let’s see how people review this hotel

If I could give this place more than 6 stars I would. Before coming here and making a booking I researched extensively the reviews from other's of Hotel de Glacé. So many people have these expectations that it should be like a normal regular hotel experience, it’s an Ice Hotel and will never be like a normal hotel. If you can get a booking into this place, you are definitely in for a treat. I could take a million photos and videos being there and still not capture the true perspective and experience of everything. If you love art, design, engineering, culture, unique experiences, or want to check off bucket list items, Hotel de Glacé should definitely be on your list of places to visit. My wife and I recently stayed in suite 23 on March 9, 2022. The suite cost $1005.00 for the one night. With this you get a huge room with fire 🔥 place and PRIVATE sauna and hot tub (spa). Some might say it’s a lot of money for. Hotel room. But It’s an incredible deal if you actually take a look at what you’re getting. People spend $1000 to stay at a fancy hotel, get a good seat at a hockey game or concert. Spending this amount of money is most definitely worth it. For the $1005.00 you are not only getting a suite in the Hotel de Glace, you are also getting a suite at the Hotel Val Cartier, which will act as a your back up room, change room etc. The Hotel de Glace keeps the hallway lights on during the night, there is no secured doors for any of the guest rooms, the doors are just blocked off by curtains. To me all this is ok, during the night Hotel de Glace staff were walking around throughout the hotel. All the staff I met were incredibly nice, and thankful we were there. You could tell they we’re proud they worked at the ice hotel given the uniqueness of this place. Many of the staff were happy to take photos, help with starting our fire, lifting the hot tub cover off for us, putting a chair in place to help accommodate my disability, making drink suggestions at the ice bar, and explaining how best to use the sleeping bag while in the ice hotel. Many of the staff were able to speak English and I never felt negatively judged for not being able to speak French. I will always remember what one of the staff members said after I said thanks for taking our photo, he said “no problem our guests are like royalty here” The taxi fare was $66 one way from the Fairmont Château Frontenac. It’s important to remember that if you’re following your vehicles navigation system it will guide you to the previous location of Hotel de Glace. The Hotel de Glace location changed 4 years ago to the property of Hotel Val Cartier (so this is the place you want to put into your navigation system) There are only two Ice Hotels in the entire world and Quebec Canada is fortunate to have one of them. For an experience of a life time book this place it’s so much fun and you will have a life long memory to share with friends, I’m going to post a ton of photos to help you out. - AccessibleTravelGuy

I went to great lengths to get here for a day visit ($30) -- without a car, it is quite a pain to get to from Quebec City. A taxi will run you $70. If you go during a non-peak time (e.g. weekday morning), you will be able to find an Uber for $50 (but you must taxi back to the city, as they have no Ubers in Valcartier). Normally, there is a shuttle bus package via Vieux Quebec Tours but it is was cancelled due to COVID (but re-opens today, Feb. 5, 2022). That being said, I am so glad I came here!! What a unique and special experience. Your day ticket allows you to spend as much time as you like wandering around the hotel rooms, bars, and chapel. There is even a little ice slide that I definitely tried a few times. There is currently no guided tour but that was fine with me, as there are information panels throughout and a short audio introduction you can listen to on your phone by scanning the QR code. From reading old reviews, it sounds like the day tours used to include a drink at the bar, so that was the only thing I missed out on. Every year the hotel is constructed from scratch and tons of hours day and night go into creating the structure and then adding all the unique snow and ice sculptures and decorations. I loved that there is a room where you can see some of the equipment they use to create the hotel. They posted on instagram Jan. 30 that all phases of the building were completed, so I was lucky to visit after that. I guess you can still go earlier but certain parts will be under construction. It's a photographer's dream here and really magnificent to see what can be done with snow and ice. When you need to warm up, you can go to the Hotel Valcartier and the adjoining building where there are restaurants, shops, washrooms, and a spa. Note that some are closed right now due to COVID. You are required to wear a face mask inside the ice hotel. I would recommend bringing an extra face mask to change into afterwards, because after wandering around in the cold wearing an N95 mask, your breath will likely create humidity inside the mask that will freeze. So it's not very comfortable after you go indoors, when your mask defrosts and gets damp. Reserve your ticket online ahead of time on their website. - TO-psych

Beautiful hotel built every year made entirely of ice. It has an ice bar, slide, and all the comfortable amenities you would expect from a lodging facility. You actually do sleep very well in your room thanks to an insulated blanket that keeps you toasty and warm. If you decide to stay there as a guest or visit the wondrous hotel as a tourist for the day it's truly a unique and magical winter experience for all to enjoy. - Passenger33120578611

This was our third time staying at Fantasy Land Hotel WEM. The first time we had the Alberta Suite, the second time we had a Space Theme Room and this time we went with the Superior Roman. While the suite and theme room were amazing and we had no regrets, they can be quite pricey, but let me tell you I highly recommend the Superior 'Themed' rooms (which are offered in Princes, Roman or Polynesian). They are only $15-$30 a night more than a regular Superior room (the cheapest rooms in the hotel) and yet they are pleasantly themed (well done). Lots of space in these Superior rooms, very clean, your floor is themed (hallways). You get the theme fun experience for a way cheaper price but get all of the services including 50% off mall passes. LOVED IT....AGAIN. Highly recommended for the resort high quality feel and of course the fun, unique experience and CONVENIENCE! - CuriousCanuk

Staff is really friendly and the hotel is right above the mall. If you are tired, simply go back up to catch tom Zzz, if you are ready just head down to the galaxy land to catch more fun. Overall hotel is clean and organized. But the price of the hotels sky rockets a couple of days before our trip and we didn't get to book the space theme... - sungyent

3. Blachford Lake Lodge

Let’s see how people review this hotel

We enjoyed the most marvellous three days here. The main attraction was to see the Aurora, a long held dream, and we were luck enough to see a wonderful display on our first night. It was quite wondrous and to see it in the absolute wilderness just outside our lodge was just perfect. We had more Aurora the next night though not quite as vivid or extensive but the Lodge offers much more. The three walking trails offer a wonderful feel of this remote area. By October when we visited most of the birdlife had migrated south but the walks are still great. The staff are excellent and the meals were hearty and fulfilling. And my highlight, apart from the Northern Lights of course, was catching (and it's all catch and release) 9 Northern Pikefish (one of about 20 pounds) in about 75 minutes on a fishing trip one afternoon, so don't let anyone tell you it's too late to catch fish in the lake in October! This is a "must do" trip and well worth the excursion north. You'll see a different, but a fabulous, part of Canada - gregh628

My son and his fiance live in Yellowknife and took us out to the lodge for 4 days. Winter is the optimum time to visit for the Aurora Borealis (Northern lights) viewing (as near continious light in summer). They will wake you up if you request. There are % predictions, but you never know when they will show and for how long. There is a Sauna (in the bush) and Hot Tub by the lodge. Track set cross country skiiing, a skating rink and hiking. Lots of skates, skis and snowshoes to borrow. Ice fishing is available. Snowmobiling tours too (including novice tours). The only way in is by float/ski plane - Twin Otter via Air Tindi. You can snowmobile in, or ski/hike if you are nuts ;-) All activities center on the lodge. There are 5 guest rooms in the lodge and a half dozen cabins; well spaced, but close. All rooms/cabins have at least a double bed and more bunk beds. They could throretically fit 4-8 people in each room. The cabins have electricity (lights and outlets), a sink with jug water, and a wood stove for heat. There is an (totally) odor-free compost toilet. The lodge is fully heated and has shared showers and running water. This is "Rustic Chic". The food is home style and excellent. They can accomodate special food needs. We had a Gluten-Free and a Peanut Alergy in our party. Always listed GF Options and "No Peanut" items listed for each meal. There is a well stocked bar in the lodge (good wine and a selection of single malts). "Art" and other activites for adults and kids. The staff are super-helpful and friendly. Most of the staff are from outside of North America. - Oakville89

Beautiful rustic lodge on secluded Blachford Lake. We live in Texas. We made a visit to Blachford Lake Lodge in July 2022. We have never been to Northwest Territories, Canada. We only had the online reviews to determine if we would make the 3,200-mile trip. So glad we did. Best vacation ever. the lodge's 5-star reviews were accurate. Amy was helpful and offered information as we planned our trip. We flew into Yellowknife and took the sea plane to the lodge. Beautiful views, peaceful and remote surrounded by nature. the small group of lodge staff were welcoming and very accommodating. The lodge was comfortable and clean. Tash wanted to make sure we were having fun and doing all the activities we wanted to do. David made us three delicious meals each day. Multiple food choices. All were prepared fresh and so good. We enjoyed the lodge's dining area. The views of the lake are unforgettable. the lodge rooms were better than expected. We saw beautiful sunsets from the room's large windows. The beds were comfortable. there were many fun activities available. We had much fun hiking, swimming, boating, and fishing. The hot tube and sauna were wonderful. We learned about native plants and made an incredible spruce salve. You can stay busy or just relax and enjoy the unspoiled area around the lodge. We loved seeing bald eagles and hearing the loons call over the lake. We loved everything about our trip and plan to visit again. Leslie and Nick Alino - nickaD971YZ

Seaplane ride in was special, you see how remote this place is.The staff are relaxed and professional, they adapt activities to abilities/wants/needs. Our tent with en suite big,warm sumptuous! The place is Magical with killer views everywhere! The bar and deck are the best we have seen amongst our travels with attentiveness of delivery first class service and variety of drinks! The activities range is brilliant, we stayed a week and tried everything barr fishing as it’s not our bag. Lots of staff here have their dogs so it does feel like a home from home. The remoteness is real we heli hiked to a summit and you can see the vast views mountains and river with the lodge and nothing else !! Horses are well looked after and riding the river bed is cool. Canyoning was a blast and at the end of each activity luxury awaits, food here is like eating at a mitchellin star restaurant we are taking recipes home! Spa and hot tubs are brilliant, along with private dining options too. These guys have it right for a delux remote break with luxury and quality thrown in. We could stay a year! - 517annmariea

Our wedding day and our stay at the lodge was the most memorable time of our lives. We made terrific friendships, enjoyed marvellous hospitality and left forever changed by our experience. If you visit Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge, remember to remind yourself how lucky you are every moment of your stay; it won't be until after you leave that you realise how truly special a stay at the lodge is. - samanthamR5715UN

Words are no substitute for the experience. We are here for a Thursday to Thursday stay, and it’s only Saturday. There is nothing that we have experienced so far that has fallen short of our elevated expectations. From the wilderness outside our tent “door”, to the food at the Cookhouse, to the friendliness and expertise of the staff, to the leadership of Sarah, the GM - this is a place that provides indescribable enjoyment whether you are sitting on your deck watching the tide and the light change, or on a boat looking for bears, whales, porpoises, sea lions and otters (all of which we saw on yesterday’s 4 hour ride from the lodge to the Pacific Ocean via Tofino), or any of the wide range of activities that are offered. Thank goodness we have a lot of days left for things to do, sights to see, people to meet. This is truly a “bucket list” vacation. Thank you Clayoquot Wilderness Lodge. We will miss you when we leave and so grateful for the time we had with you. - B4229CGjohnj

What an amazing place! My friend and I spent two nights in the Melody sphere and loved every moment. The space is so well constructed and thought out, and Tom was very thorough about explaining how the sphere works. The welcome basket was amazing! Bathroom facilities are more than ample, and the peaceful lakeside setting idyllic. Just an amazing place - stay if you can! - hbinnz

Staying 2 nights at Luna was one of a kind experience. The sphere was well designed and high quality like a custom build yacht (bench seat, ceiling beams, sink cover etc... ). It was also very roomy and comfortable so we listened music and dance. Dedicated 3 pieces bath room was only 1 min away from the sphere. Walking with a flash light ( provided, but I brought my own ) to the bath house in middle of the night was also fun experience. We brought many items (hair dryer, paper towels, cooler box, usb plug etc. ) but didn't need the most of them since they are provided. It might be a good idea to bring a lint roller for quick cleaning. Tom and Rosie, thank you for your warm hospitality and great creation. - setonana

How special! The spheres are a unique vacation experience, set on a lovely piece of property, hanging in a private space surrounded by trees and built with ingenuity and expert craftsmanship. They are very clean and very comfortable. You have to see them to believe them. Rosey and Tom were wonderful hosts and most definitely added to the memorable time we spent there. Thank you! - Wander547449

Staying overnight in a jail cell was such a unique experience. We stayed in a cell with bunk beds and it was surprisingly spacious for two people. The location is centrally located close to Byward Market, Parliament, and the shopping mall. The hostel also offers historical tours of the jail (join a walking haunted tour company if you'd like to learn about the ghost stories). Definitely would recommend staying here for the experience.

My friend and I stayed two nights. The bunks in the cell we’re comfortable and clean, and had an outlet! The staff have been so welcoming, and the tour was really cool. Big shout out to Sean, working the front desk at night, he was super friendly and accommodating! - 877mychellem

This was by far the most unique, coolest hotel I have ever stayed at. The rooms all have their own special touch, there's the fun of eating in the dining car, and a converted lounge, as well as a coffee shop, souvenir store, and bar at the station, and an outdoor play area for young children. It was fun to explore and relax at. The town doesn't have a whole lot for a young family, but situated alongside the hotel is the TransCanada trail which makes for peaceful exploration of the area. - 532christab

Great meal with our family! The meal was prepared and served by a local family! Chef was excellent and service outstanding! Unique dining experience and we would definitely consider staying at the inn! - 358SusanM

Our room was perfect and decorated with period items but had all modern conveniences. The washroom was spotless and had wonderful thick towels. The bed was very comfortable and we enjoyed eating our snacks in the cupola. A walking trail right beside the track was a great place to wander in the evening and the morning. Staff were friendly and helpful. There is a sweet little gift shop on site. Would recommend as a must go to in Nova Scotia. - P8177QYlynns

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Steve's Rotating House. It is as cool as it sounds. Offering multiple views of the countryside/ocean during our stay was really fun. But the fact that this unique place spins is only one reason we loved it: our suite was so well thought-out, decorated, clean and beautiful. And the location is amazing, so close to the beach and great restaurants (a short, scenic walk). Steve has really thought of everything and is a charming, helpful host. We particularly appreciated the time he spend explaining some of the inner-workings of this engineering marvel. Highly recommended! - Extraordinary466230

Steve is an amazing host with an amazing property. The space was perfect and had everything we needed. The views were never boring and simply spectacular. About an 8 minute walk to the beach and or local harbor. We would highly recommend staying here if ever on the island. Perfectly located on the north shore with tons of places near by to explore and eat at. - pauloaL693TP

We booked out all four condos of the rotating house for a bachelorette party. Steve was super responsive and beyond helpful. The condos, apart from being beautiful, were nice and clean. Beds were comfortable and everyone slept great. The view and location were cherry on top. Look forward to staying again. - KaitlinElaineG

Waiting two years for this bucket list trip. Exceeded all my expectations. Newfoundland hospitality at its finest. From check in to check out always warmly greeted. The community host tour outstanding idea ! Aubrey was great! The food from the morning coffee and fresh baked goods to the crab shack dinner outstanding. The desserts, presentation and the wonderful cod.!! Don’t miss the cod au gratin at the crab shack dinner. Which is a great idea for solo travellers.Felt at home even as a solo traveller. Zita Cobb is a visionary can’t say enough about all there is behind the inns story, the staff the homey touches and the building. Just fabulous! Yes very pricey but so is airfare to Europe stay in Canada and enjoy this beautiful creation and community sustaining enterprise. Loved it❤️ - joanne777

My husband and I stayed at Fogo Island Inn for 3 nights in early August. We've traveled widely but this was one of the most special travel experiences we've had. The Inn has a breathtaking location, the views from our room were spectacular and the food (3 meals/day plus a wake-up basket of fresh scones and coffee) was delicious (the best cod we've ever had). We did some beautiful hikes--and there was more to do than we had time for in our 3-4 days. One of the unique features of our stay was the afternoon we spent with a community host, who shared so much about the culture, history and traditions of Fogo Island. The staff and the people we met on Fogo were exceptionally friendly and welcoming. - 815nancyv

My family of three really enjoyed our time at Soule Creek Lodge. We did not experience any of the problems in previous reviews. Two staff members were present during our time and they went out of their way to care for us. The cabin was very clean, the bed and futon were very comfortable, the seating was plenty for four. There was a kettle, microwave, mini fridge, and keurig on site. (Keurig pods were caffeinated, I brought my own decaf and subbed it out.) There were several reviews that mentioned problems with the water, so we brought extra bottles, but bottles were provided and the tap water tasted just fine! The chef made delicious breakfast baskets every morning: breakfast sandwiches, oranges, bananas, milk, oj, and rice crispy treats on the day we were traveling. He also spent several hours resolving a blown fuse that was my fault even though it wasn’t really his job. Marianne was the kindest, most helpful person making sure we had everything we needed. One of us was ill, so we did a lot of takeout from the pub, so she got us a much larger trash can to make it easier for us to keep the place clean. The most important thing were the views-just stunning. A really beautiful spot to recuperate and to explore! (Just don’t be a goof and dry your laundry by hanging it on the balcony like I did. My husband had to go foraging to recover a shirt that blew over! Lol!) - 300SarahG

Stayed 3 nights in Pandora yurt - LOVED every minute of it, from pouring rain on roof to wild windstorm, to basking in sunshine taking in gorgeous view of coastal mountains and harbour. Probably the best part was Claude's generous hospitality. His hot breakfasts were five-star and his appreciation for the pristine nature + west coast lifestyle is legit. We've visited Pt Renfrew often for the raw beaches and hiking trails, but never had a more enjoyable outdoor experience than our visit at Soule Creek Lodge. - eatssleepsruns

We slept in a YURT! On top of a mountain! With the ocean below us! Sunset amazing Starry Night wonderful Very Covid safe nice friendly staff. This isn’t a fancy resort this is wilderness with a amazingly comfortable bed! Did I mention we slept in a YURT? We will be back. - 3sheenam

We enjoyed our stay here, nice intimate/boutique hotel. The beds were super comfortable and lots of restaurants nearby. Only thing missing in the room is a fridge but overall was comfortable for a short stay in Toronto. The staff/service is wonderful! - rachelsE1271CM

This is a recently renovated hotel near Liberty Village they have done a lot to make the hotel feel both modern and old at the same time. The elevator is worth a visit and ride. The staff seem to know a lot about the history of the building. Worth a stay. - O3037BYdavidg

Was on a fairly tight budget and had to think long and hard about booking a room here, as "budget" this property is not. SO glad I stayed, however! The Gladstone, being Toronto's oldest continually occupied hotel ,was a lovely fusion of historic charm and sleek, modern decor. At one time the rooms were individually decorated (and most guidebooks still rave about it) but this has changed so the rooms are all fairly uniform as far as furnishings. The hotel is still a haven for art lovers, however, and has various works by local artists displayed in both the public spaces as well as the rooms. The staff at the hotel are wonderful -- friendly and accommodating. The small bistro offers creative menu options, and a plethora of bars and restaurants are in easy walking distance. Great hotel, great location, great people, what else could you need? Do yourself a favor and check this gem out! It's not often you find a property so lovingly restored, and a staff so dedicated to seeing their guests satisfied! Quick tips that I'm too wordy to fit in actual tip section: Hotel has the original and amazing bird cage elevator. This must be operated by staff, and those gracious folks are always prompt and cheerful to get you to your floor. However, you may wish to book a room on the second floor and just walk up. Historic hotel often means smaller rooms as in the day, a bedroom was a room that fit a bed and that was about it. The studio rooms are charming, with plenty of storage but folks who like a lot of space may want to think about upgrading their room category. (I stayed in a studio, and thought it was perfectly fine, however.) Each floor has a different public area . Library and comfy chairs on 4th floor, pool table on 3rd floor, and cozy chairs and tables on second floor that's perfect for those needing some space to work. Lastly, although I indicated "family" it was just my college age daughter and I. I don't believe the property has any double bedded rooms. This hotel is very much more for adults than kids! - susanmS2512PO

Wonderful experience. Truly first class. Friendly staff. Nice restaurants with very good food. Interesting shops. Indoor & outdoor heated pools +. Very convenient to town and other sightseeing places. Highly recommend a visit to this unique historical hotel with renovated rooms - paulcB6604SH

My octogenarian mother’s long-held dream was to travel on the Rocky Mountaineer and visit old friends out west. I encouraged her to seize the day and planned a luxurious getaway for us both. We rented a Mercedes SUV from Calgary and set off for the beautiful Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel for a few nights, before boarding our train. We generally never splurge on valet service, but the kid-glove treatment from the folks at the front came in very handy. A flight delay almost made us miss our dinner reservations at the lovely Swiss Waldhaus Restaurant, behind the hotel. They instantaneously parked the car, brought in our luggage and popped my disabled mom and me into a golf card to get us there comfortably and expeditiously. They even had a shuttle bus waiting, just as we were ready to leave. I kid you not, it was ‘Radar’ like service (for all you M*A*S*H fans)! After our meal we checked in and were put into a ‘wheelchair accessible’ room outside of the main building. Despite my disappointment at being ‘off campus’ as it were, I tried to keep an open mind. Sadly, the room was underwhelming at the eye-watering rates necessary during high season at this landmark institution. Don’t get me wrong, the view was great, but the room satisfactory at best. The main issue though was the magical mystery tour to get there. Technically it was scalable with loads of time and perhaps an electric wheelchair or savvy/youthful aid, but I’d advise this extended wing be a better bastion for those quite able, fit and wanting a good amount of privacy. By morning, we realized the gauntlet was too much to manage for every meal, as well as getting repeated access to hotel facilities and grabbing our vehicle. After a bit of discussion at the front desk about capacity issues, etc. manager, Emma (extraordinaire) stepped in. This is when you find out what Fairmont service is truly all about! We were elevated to an incredibly large and beautiful room that also had a jaw-dropping view. We were compensated generously for the inconvenience and all staff took great pains in making the rest of our visit absolutely flawless. Sure, it would have been great to avoid any hiccups, but they made it right and then some, immediately. I’m sure it took a bit of juggling, but when things go wrong, you really find out what a stellar brand is truly made of. Of course, the facilities themselves are like something out of a fairy tale. This grand dame is definitely an experience that must be added to any bucket list worth dreaming about. The amazing views, grounds, restaurants, spas, pools, bar, golf course, common areas, etc., etc. should not be missed. The nearby village is its own little idyll too. The rest of our stay was nothing less than perfect (and trust me, Mom’s not an easy lady to please)! I applaud the FBSH for their amazing responsiveness and for making lemons into the sweetest lemonade ever. It must be difficult to manage a hotel that size, whilst keeping everyone happy at peak season, but they accomplished that and much more. Air Canada can take a few tips from these professionals. To that end, Fairmont has always been a favourite brand of ours and continues to be. They are a luxury brand and thus a bit pricier than some options, but worth every penny. Thanks to all the staff that went the extra mile and made sure this special trip memorable for my mother and I, for all the right reasons. Kudos to you all and keep up the fabulous work – my husband and I will be back to this and other Fairmont properties, as soon as we possibly can! - CKimoff

First time in Banff and at the Fairmont and it was a trip I won’t soon forget. Truly amazing experience all the way around and the hotel was simply magical. The hotel offers everything you need yet it is a short and beautiful walk in to town for a change of pace. - coreyl473

Peaks was a last minute find on the internet for us. We had made reservations at another hotel in Banff but after my wife found that you were new and offered better room rates we changed our stay to Peaks. Glad we made to change!!! - cmjohnston2111

This was our first time in Banff and it surpassed our expectations tenfold! The Peaks is located within walking distance to downtown with so many lovely places to eat, shop and book excursions. The rooms are not huge (ours did not have a desk, which was fine for us but if you need to work while you are here maybe look into that) but very cozy and well appointed. Our room overlooked the Main Street and had a small balcony that was great for morning coffee. Hotel staff is friendly, helpful and very professional. We enjoyed our weekend and look forward to coming back. - karengZ5589EL

Remodeled Suite (we stayed in) with full size kitchen can accommodate up to 8 persons, 2 bedrooms/2bath (1 master) and a murphy bed in the living room, modern showers, clean and fresh liens, The appliances and cooking utensils are barely used. 1/4 of the cost of a nearby 5 stars hotel (in which we also stayed after to just experience it) and everything is superior than the 5 stars except the lake view. The 5 stars hotel costs us arms and legs and I don't think it's worth it. - OnAir280365

We stayed here as a family, we were lucky that we were upgraded to a 2 bedroom condo, which was amazing.

My Mum and I stayed at The Moose Hotel & Suites as a stop on our Rocky Mountaineer Train journey. Our room was on the first floor with a little patio of our own to sit and gaze into the sweetest courtyard ever! Looking up at the other suites and their balconies with its little lights, while smelling the clean, fresh, crisp evening air was heavenly! So was the glacial tap water - I wished I had brought a dozen hydro flasks to fill up before I left! After dinner we came back and sat on the comfy couches in front of the cozy fire in the lobby and relaxed before bed. We didn’t even see the amazing rooftop pool and amenities because we had to leave early the next morning, but I made a note to return here with my husband when we return to visit Banff. Also, the next morning we had the freshest OJ and the tastiest kale, apple, basil smoothie I’ve ever had (and I am connoisseur of green smoothies) at the lovely Italian restaurant inside the hotel. Our whole stay ended with a perfectly punctuated amazing breakfast that sent us off happily on our continued travels, rested, and happily satiated with fresh food and drink! This is a homey but elegant hotel with all the specialties, don’t think twice, just book it! - 230lianneh

This hotel is ideally located for a great vacation. It is right in the middle of Banff close to everything you would want to walk to including trails, grocery store, restaurants, bars, train station, liquor store and even the visitors center. The facilities are first rate including the spa, pool and hot tubs but the real asset of this hotel is the enthusiastic people who work there and run the front desk. There isn't anything they won't do to make your stay special and memorable for you. Give it a try and you will be impressed. - craigg200

We stayed at the Canalta for four nights during our honeymoon whilst we explored Banff. The Canalta is an absolutely gorgeous hotel, and great amenities for guests. We were slightly early when it came to check in, but we were met by the concierge who asked about our trip and gave us recommendations, not only for Banff, but for the rest of our trip too. The hotel has hot tubs, a cold-plunge pool, s’mores station, guest laundry and gym - breakfast was included in our rate and it was great with lots of options. As we were on honeymoon, we had a bottle of fizz in our room on arrival which was a lovely touch. We had a balcony which looked out onto the mountains, which was really nice to wake up to. The only thing I’d comment on which was slightly negative was that there wasn’t anywhere in the room to hang any clothes; no wardrobe or hooks / hangers, so everything had to sit in our case. But, we requested an iron / board so no big deal. Walk was about 20 minutes into Banff, just something to bare in mind - but no problem for us! All the staff were brilliant, too! - NicWetherell

It was our first time at Banff and it did not disappoint. Our room had a nice balcony view of a mountain where we had a morning coffee, the lodge was kind enough to gift us a bottle of bubbly, and although we didn't take advantage of the hot tubs, it seemed very inviting and they also had a s'more station for the fire pits. The hot breakfast was solid and the lodge itself was a 15 minute walk from downtown. There was plenty of free parking during the week at a nearby playground. The lodge was quiet at night and we got pretty good sleep compared to other hotels we've stayed at. The staff was kind and accommodating, it was a great stay. - RyanK3473

Friendly and accommodating. The staff and property is amazing and as a solo female traveler I felt safe. The property is cozy and perfect for that mountain getaway. Complimentary breakfast and nightly s'mores along with 2 outdoor hot tubs - lisanH1298NQ

We were so happy to come back and stay at this lovely hotel and would always recommend to anybody wanting a stay in Vancouver. - L5495FZamandal

This hotel was mostly excellent. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could. The location is great, and surprisingly quiet. The staff were extremely helpful and patient with special requests. There were some issues that the hotel could easily remedy. Guests access their floor by inserting a keycard in a slot on the elevator. A sign recommends removing the card “slowly.” It took us several days to realize that this was incorrect. I talked with other guests who also were having trouble operating the elevator. If you remove the card quickly, you improve your chances for success — in which case, a light flashes green. If you fail, the same light flashes red. This indicator is worthless for a guest like my dad, who can’t distinguish between red and green — the most common form of colour blindness. Another concern for older or disabled guests: there is no grab bar in the shower. - GiantPurpleOwl

This is definitely on the Top Five list of places we've stayed. The hotel is 1920s vintage, with a stunningly restored lobby and lounge. The details are beautiful, and the elegance of the place is warm - not intimidating. The rooms are completely modern with excellent beds, sparkling facilities. Even with all that, it's the staff that really shines here: from the front desk, to the cleaning team, and the concierge. Gerard at the concierge desk was astoundingly helpful and knowledgeable, just a great person. Yes, the Rosewood is not an inexpensive place, but if you're up for a splurge (we were celebrating our anniversary), it is really well worth it. - B5392VAjosephf

What a wonderful experience we had staying 2 nights at the Rosewood Hotel Georgia for our anniversary. Hotel was beautifully decorated for the holiday season. Check-in was a breeze and they acknowledged our special occasion with an upgrade from our Premier Executive Room to a Junior Suite - Quite significant as it was double the price. The manager also had a complimentary dessert and welcome card waiting for us. Very nice touch. The room was awesome. Separate bedroom with small living room area/powder room. Master Bathroom was massive - awesome shower head. All of the staff were so polite and helpful during our stay, they really go the extra mile with service at the Rosewood - so friendly and hospitable. Valet guys especially were great! Room service breakfast was delivered hot and tasty. Checked out Reflections for a pre-dinner drink. Specialty cocktails were pricey but delicious. Looking forward to our next stay - hopefully for longer next time :) Book this hotel with confidence, you won't be disappointed! - Philsfan20

We stayed here for the beginning of our honeymoon and we were blown away by the hotel and staff. We arrived late after a long journey and we were delighted to find chocolate strawberries and champagne in our room on arrival. We ordered room service which was the best we have ever had. We had a premier executive room and WOW, it was the most beautiful room we have ever stayed in. It was spotlessly clean, had lots of storage space, had very comfortable bedding, with lots of nice touches throughout the room and bathroom. The bath and shower were perfect, as were the double sinks. The Wi-Fi was fantastic and we appreciated the number of plug sockets around the room (as sometimes an issue in other hotels). The food on offer was amazing throughout. We had breakfast at 1927 and dinner at the Reflections terrace. Both were absolutely delicious and immaculately presented. The staff and service were far beyond expectations and were exceptional. The pool is relaxing and tranquil. Despite the hotel being fairly large, we always managed to have the pool to ourselves. The spa was fantastic and the staff - both the receptionists and the beauty therapist - were all so friendly and accommodating. As first time visitors to Vancouver having a short stay, we were keen to fit in as many activities as possible. To that end, Gerardo the concierge was an invaluable aid to guiding us around the city and recommending places to visit and top tips to getting around the city. He was always friendly and professional, and we are so grateful for his expertise. We will definitely stay here again if we are back in Vancouver! - BubAndWeeM

Nice little complementary basket of snackies to nibble on. The hotel's breakfast area is kind of weirdly laid out, one long table right by the food, so I opted for a small table in the lobby. No big deal though. Lots of food choices there, enough to get you going ans then some. - FS593

From the moment we walked into the lobby we knnew we had chosen the right hotel. Absolutely faultless! All the staff are so professional, helpful and friendly. We were made to feel welcome from the first moment. Our room, overlooking Robson Square was tastefully furnished, immaculate with high quality bedlinens and we loved the feature of the corner bath in the bedroom. During our stay we had a minor problem in our bathroom with a leak from the room above. This was promply repaired whilst we had breakfast and as a courtesy we were given a beautiful bottle of wine. Breakfast choices were well. presented, extremely tasty and very generous portions. Great care and attention has been given to the decoration of the hotel making it feel luxurious but comfortable at the same time. Particularly loved the fireplace in the lobby and breakfast room. The hotel is centrally located in downtown Vancouver making it within easy walking distance of most places. This is certainly a hotel to return to! - gilliansF4287WR

Perfectly located right in the heart of the city, the Wedgewood is the very best for those who wish to enjoy Vancouver's shopping, dining and sightseeing. The facility meets or exceeds the highest standards and is operated by a friendly and attentive staff. Classy elegance mixed with homey comfort. Spotless, well appointed rooms make each stay an absolutely enjoyable experience. - peterbX3105NI

From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the staff at Wedgewood Hotel & Spa took fabulous care of us. Shout out to Ryan and Kirby for taking charge of the car and the luggage when we arrived on the wrong side of the hotel! - robinj370

This is my second time at Oak Bay and it doesn't disappoint. Everything is top notch. Incredible spa treatments, delicious food at The Snug Pub, and Faro. The view overlooking the ocean and time spent relaxing in the pool and hot tubs. Excellent service from start to finish. An incredible place to get away to relax and unwind. Treat yourself, you won't regret it! I will be back! - Storyteller552807

After a wonderful two nights stay, there is not doubt as to why the hotel is so highly rated in Canada and globally. It has been the best experience I’ve had at a hotel of this calibre. Everyone on staff who we engaged with was friendly, helpful and competent. Exceptional and friendly service without pretension. The food in both The Snug pub and the Dining Room is outstanding. The rooms are well appointed and gloriously comfortable beds. We spent almost two full hours in the mineral pools which was a treat after a crisp morning waterfront run. Highly recommend staying here! - reindun

We had high expectations but WOW! Fantastic place, fantastic views and fantastic service. Rooms are amazing and the service and food are on par. If you have to stay in Victoria, do not think twice. Life does not get much better from the pools with the stunning view of the surroundings! - hansNetherlands

Ideal for a 24 hour Vancouver business trip. The amenities were excellent and I was treated extremely well. Waking up at the airport eliminates a massive amount of stress compared with staying downtown and having to wake up extra early to catch a flight. - jaredmH4911OM

I was travelling with my two young kids. No husband in tow and it was a very challenging experience for me. I missed my connecting flight due to my first flight being delayed. Coming home from holidays my kids were over tired & missed their dad. Long story short. I needed a place to stay, I ended up at the elevator of the fairmont yvr with my screaming two year old & around the corner comes Naryan. Hero #1. Instantly offers me a water and assists me onto the elevator while my son is still screaming. He didn’t even ask if I was staying at the fairmont. He didn’t think twice about helping me. Amazing human being. Once he assisted me to the front desk the tears started rolling down my face as I told him I didn’t have a room and was hoping they could accommodate. Which is when the lovely Jenny stepped in. Hero #2. So calm, so supportive. Another amazing human being. Grabbed me tissues. She Took control of the situation & I appreciated it so much. While I was speaking with Jenny, Naryan quickly grabbed a box full of stuffed toys behind the counter and offered them to my kids. At that time, my son had finally calmed down thanks to Naryan. My Long story short… isn’t so short anymore! I realize the importance of explaining my situation to really emphasize the appreciation I had and have for Jenny & Naryan. The second my kids entered the room it felt like a huge weight off my shoulders. Their joy to see the runway and planes was incredible and quickly changed everyone’s moods. Mine especially. And that was all thanks to Jenny. I worked at the fairmont waterfront from 2013-2018 and now live in beautiful Smithers, BC. But it reminded me why I loved working at the Fairmont. The people you work with was always the reason to stay. Oh & The BATHTUB was hero #3. There is No one Better then the Fairmont. End of Story! - HenrySmithers

A fine resort hotel in a busy airport. Breakfast in the dining room was an excellent way to start the day with a beautiful view of the sunrise and runways with the downtown Vancouver skyline in the distance. Hotel had in September 2022 an in-house Covid-testing clinic. Only complaint is with the signage to the hotel from the international baggage-claim area - virtually non-existent which led to a more than half-an-hour hunt for the hotel in a deserted airport at 11:00 pm. HINT: Hotel is located at the far end of the United Airlines check-in counter for international flights to the US just as you enter the airport by car. SkyTrain station is just across the car-access road entrance to airport and hotel. - ciscokid23

Celebrity Winter Escape Spots

Nikki Campbell — Mon, 17 Oct 2022 06:22:45 GMT

When you think of extravagant celebrity vacations, you probably think of hot, sunny destinations where they go in the summer. However, the stars' lavish vacations do not end when the weather turns cold. In fact, celebrity winter getaways may be even more enticing. Because they're not only as outrageous, but they're also during a time when you're probably stuck at home trying desperately to stay warm.

Kendall Jenner appeared to keep things low-key this winter for New Year's. On January 2, the model posted a slideshow of images from what appeared to be Blackberry Farm, a Relais & Châteaux resort in Walland, Tennessee, on Instagram. When it came to winter getaways, her trip had the best of both worlds: no freezing temperatures and views of the Great Smoky Mountains. Plus, complete tranquillity.
