The Westin Riverfront Mountain Villas, Beaver Creek Mountain

“A tranquil, perfectly relaxing vacation in Avon”

This was our first time visiting the Avon location (our home base is St. John) and we were blown away by both the villas and the resort grounds!

This was our first time visiting the Avon location (our home base is St. John) and we were blown away by both the villas and the resort grounds! The two bedrooms in the villa were highly spacious but also clean and updated. Loved the balconies in each room. Furthermore, we couldn’t get enough of the pool! Such a pleasant feeling to lounge by the pool and soak up the views of the mountain, and it was so refreshing to go for a swim. The food and drink by the pool was also great. We also loved going for walks along the river. Overall, this was a wonderful experience and we can’t wait to go back!

“Truly wonderful resort”

We spent 4 days at the Westin Riverfront and had such a ball! The atmosphere, amenities, room quality and location were fantastic!

The hotel employees should feel proud of the great work they do. Thank you!

“We love the hotel but the villa timeshare building is not connected and has no amenities in its own building.”

We have stayed at this property several times before and love the hotel! It has the best gym in the area, a lovely lobby and excellent dining options. It is ski on/off but the gondola takes you to a transfer place, the hotel is actually not on the mountain but right center in-the town of Avon. Ho… more

We have stayed at this property several times before and love the hotel! It has the best gym in the area, a lovely lobby and excellent dining options. It is ski on/off but the gondola takes you to a transfer place, the hotel is actually not on the mountain but right center in-the town of Avon. However, on this off season visit in September we traded our time share in Cancun to stay in a studio apartment in the villas. We did have a nice time; our studio room had a lovely view of the river and mountain, a nice balcony, and a nice river trail with access right from the property. I would give 5 stars and actually do rate the hotel 5 stars and perhaps the very best Westin in the chain. BUT the villas are not actually attached to the hotel, one has to exit onto the street and walk through the public gondola plaza to access the hotel, or walk through the underground maze of a garage to get from villa to hotel. This might not sound like a big deal, but I felt it rather “ghetto” to walk onto the street and gondola area in my bathrobe to get to the gym and hot tubs. Meanwhile, the sales gallery for timeshares, of which they have none for sale at this property, has prime ground floor space and an outdoor deck with fire pits and chairs that are not part of the villas, just for fake show for potential buyers. What a waste!! Important to note; the villa building (unlike other Westin hotel/villas) has no facilities of its own, not its own hot tub, no pool, not a single outdoor lounge. I guess they feel the hotel is close enough, and yet there is no path to take between. On the other hand, in winter we would likely be thrilled to have an apartment kind of sort of connected to the hotel ski in ski off. My point is that I will return to this hotel but not the villas.
