The hotel

More village than hotel, Sunriver Resort’s part of a private 3,300 acre community along the Deschutes River, in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains. Designed to immerse you in al fresco experiences, it’s filled with all manner of outdoorsy attractions. There are the simple pleasures, like 40 miles of biking and hiking trails, and stargazing at the observatory. And then there are the uber-indulgent ones, like stables, a marina, a spa, 9 dining experiences ranging from gourmet to beer garden, an airstrip, and 63 holes of golf spread across 4 courses, one of which will host the 2017 PGA Professional Championship. A destination in itself, The Cove is Sunriver’s swimming zone, with dining, a zero-entry pool, fire pits, even nature trails. Thank goodness they lay on free transport around the resort.

While Sunriver is an awesome family getaway, it’s a great couples escape. Lounging at the Cove, drinks brought to you, peaceful walks, a nice 6 mile canoe trip, many restaurants on property / village.

I’ve never been to a resort where everything was accessible by bicycle. The facilities were fantastic everything you can imagine you can do here. Multiple restaurants available with several different types of cuisine. The reason we went to this resort is because I have an on-site airport. This made getting in and out very convenient.

I have never seen such an absolute failure of basic expected services with checking in and trying to feed myself at a place presenting itself as a finer resort. On Saturday I had to leave the resort to eat as everyplace had a line out the door with over an hour wait and a close time before they thought I could be served. On Sunday I had to move from a room to our Condo. Check out was 10am, I was told I would be in from 4 to 6 into the new space (kind of a crazy thing for a check in time). Didn't get the text to check in till 7:15 pm. Read less
