I had a wonderful stay at Fairways Resort, surrounded by stunning mountain views and a peaceful atmosphere. The activities for kids, such as swimming in the heated pools and exploring the water slides, kept them entertained throughout our visit. However, the chalets could use some updates to maintain that gold crown status, and I found the cell signal and Wi-Fi a bit lacking. Still, it was a relaxing getaway overall.
