I'm a long time skier and this year we decided to take a ski trip to Winter Park for the first time. We booked a studio through WPLC. Our suite overlooked the hot tub area, and that was the problem. The noise from the pool even during daytime is loud enough that you have to turn things up to hear them (the windows might as well not exist since they let all noise through). The real problem though is the pool is open until 11, which means if you're not a night owl, you will not be sleeping before 11 because the party at the pool lasted until 11 both nights--and Sunday was actually worse than Saturday. We ended up calling the main number to get security to quiet them down. The management was apologetic, but this is two of the worst nights of sleep we've gotten anywhere (including downtown Manhattan) and really has just killed the trip. It's hard to want to get up and ski when you're exhausted and not in a good way. The management offered to move us--to another room above the pool, so not exactly fixing the problem. They did offer to refund one of our nights as well, but I told them frankly, we'll never come back here. The bottom line here is: if you end up getting booked on the pool side of one of these units, you might as well stay home. It's not worth the trip to have your vacation ruined.
