Suite Vacation Bliss, 9840 152 Street (2025)

03/02/2025

Today is laundry day. I love having an insuite washer and dryer, especially for stays longer than a week! This gives us the option of packing less clothes. We can pack for 1 week, and then wash what we need for a longer stay. Another option that some like is going home with clean clothes. Either way, it’s so convenient!

The drink is a mango margarita, poolside. This is my favourite, go to drink in Mexico! I love how the sunlight plays on the water💖

Our last full day here, then home to -30C…..our reprieve from our winter will be over, as we fly out tomorrow. When we get home, spring is not far off (a month or 2 away) when the temperatures gradually warm and the earth springs to life. It’s so nice to break up the winter months with our holiday!

Today’s big adventure….a couples massage in the spa! Lunch will be our last on the meal plan, then we will clean out the fridge and make and package lunches for our plane ride home.

These are pics of La Estancia resort in Cabo San Lucas. The first pics are the entrance, then the lobby (with concierge desks - for checkin and info), the view from the lobby to the ocean (with 2 hot tubs on that level), the lower level with the pools, restaurants, swim up bar, and 3 more hot tubs Oceanside, and the loungers and umbrellas on the beach. There is a perfect spot for everyone!

This is the private, second room of the suite we are staying in at La Estancia, Cabo San Lucas. This second room is more modest than the main suite, with 2 queen beds, and 1 full bathroom - no kitchen facilities.

This second room is intended to be used as a very private area, while sharing the main living areas of the main suite and deck. This allows for 2 families vacationing together to each have personal private spaces, yet still spend time together.

There are different layouts/configurations of 2 BR suites available. This is one possibility.

Stay tuned, as I will later post pics of this fabulous resort (pools, beach area, etc). I will also post pics of the 2 sister resorts on either side of La Estancia, which are also available for booking/rentals.

It’s been a few days since I’ve posted….sorry, we’ve been enjoying the sun, sand, surf and food🥰

Please remember that all the properties I post here are available to book and rent from us.

This is our home for our 10 day stay in Cabo San Lucas. For right now, I am just sharing the pics of our luxurious room in Villa La Estancia. Pics of the resort will come later 😊 These are one side of a 2 bedroom unit. The deck is shared between both rooms. This is set up for 2 families that also share the kitchen/living area of the main unit. These provide plenty of privacy for both parties.

All inclusive is available, but this time, we booked the meal plan only (alcohol not included), just to try that out. We have had some tasty mocktails, but also have our own alcohol in our suite. We are on the meal plan for 6 out of our 10 days, which we find to be plenty. The minimum for any of the plans is 3 days.

There are 2 sister resorts on each side of La Estancia - Villa del Palmar and Villa del Arcos. We visit those resorts to use their on-site restaurants, as well as the ones at La Estancia and to participate in activities available at each one. The morning stretching classes are wonderful!

Each of these resorts offer a different vacation experience, price points and luxury levels. There truly is something for everyone!

Heading out to lunch, the pool, and the swim up bar

We had one full day in Las Vegas. There are so many options of what to do! What did we choose?

The world championships for bull riding are being held this week in the equestrian arena at the South Point Casino and hotel - right next door to The Grandview at Las Vegas - where we are staying, so of course, we checked that out! It was the first day of this event. They were rating the bulls, which was interesting!

We went shopping at the South Outlet Mall and bought a couple of things.

We bought a few groceries for supper. Hubby even bought ice cream, and we had to eat it all that night, as we were leaving early the next morning…

We went to a huge antique mall. It was absolutely jam-packed with wonderful treasures! We just did a quick browse through this time. We had never been in here before, so we wanted to check it out. It will take me at least a whole day to see everything, and maybe 2 days…definitely on my list for our return.

After supper, we spent some time relaxing in the hot tub, meeting other guests and visiting.

We didn’t even make it to the strip to see everything new there! The weather was gorgeous! 30C! And still warm in the evening. I loved it!

There is a new experience that I wanted to do, but we didn’t have time this trip. It is the Arte Museum, located on the strip. Definitely not your usual museum! Check it out, it looks incredible!!!

Attached are a few pics of our day and resort. We stayed in a suite on the top floor (21), great views!

🎰⛲️We are in Las Vegas for a couple of days! ⛲️🎰

We are at one of our homes away from home here - The Grandview at Las Vegas. We have stayed here many times over the years. It is right next door to The South Pointe Casino.

We are in a 2 BR suite, which is actually 2 one bedroom full suites that have a single shared entrance. Soooooo much room, comfort, and privacy!

A great location close to the south outlet mall. A short drive or cab to “the strip”.

You could stay here as well! I will post the cost of these suites in a later post

🎰⛲️Vegas, baby! ⛲️🎰

Our next trip will be to Las Vegas for a couple of days.

We will be staying at The Grandview Las Vegas, next to South Pointe casino. We have stayed here many times over the years and always love it!

I will be posting pics of the suite and resort 😊

We’ve been home now for about a week, straight back to work…

I just wanted to include the pics from our last full day in Fairmont, BC, and area to showcase more possibilities of what this area offers.

Since this is such an easy 6 hour drive from where we live, we are already thinking that we will return. Leave in the morning, stop for lunch halfway, and arrive at checkin time. Perfect😊

If anyone is interested in booking this wonderful resort, please message us here or email at [email protected]. The price for both the A AND B units was $220CA/night for 7 nights - a great deal!

The pics are of the town of Invermere and Lake Windermere - which has a spray park in the park by the public beach.

Our adventures, Thursday, July 18

We drove to the other side of the Dutch Creek Hoodoos that we had earlier hiked to the top of. It’s not just the little bit featured in the first set of pics. It wraps right around the point. Beautiful!

We drove to Colombia Lake provincial park. It is a nature preserve for the wetlands and river coming off the Columbia Lake. There was a really good place to launch watercraft for floating the river. Such wonderful views of the river and the Lake! Some small fuzzy flowers en mass - that had gone to seed. A beautiful wildflower scene.

We also saw the second associated resort that we could book at.

Yesterday’s adventures (Wed, July 17)

I went to another crafting session in the morning. More rock painting, lol! Instead of straight out painting them, I did another mandala painting - a total experiment. It was so much fun and relaxing! Again all materials were supplied! Beadwork was also offered, but I didn’t go to those classes.

In the afternoon, we just relaxed in our suite during the heat of the day - reading, napping, watching TV. We forgot about a local Farmers Market we wanted to go to….dang…oh well…at least there’s a couple more this week!

In the late afternoon, we went to the pools, sauna, and steam room. An indoor hot tub and pool kept us out of the hot sun and was really refreshing. We went in the outdoor hot tub for a bit, but returned to the refuge of the indoor pools.

We also checked out the games room - billiards, shuffleboard, puzzles, and air hockey.

After supper, we walked to the golf course clubhouse and checked out the restaurant there. There’s no restaurant on-site at the resort, but this one is walking distance. Usual pub type fare, and prices are fairly standard.

Again, a nice relaxing day🏔️

Yesterday’s adventure - crafts and groceries in Invermere and Windermere

This resort has a variety of free activities available. In the basement of the main building, there is a fitness room, kids play area, and craft room. The craft that I was interested in was Mandala Rock Painting. I had never tried this before, and I thought it would be fun. It was!

All the supplies needed were supplied. It was a really relaxing, enjoyable way to spend an hour! A pic of the rock I painted is below. Not bad for a 1st try!

We drove to Invermere for a few groceries. We went to No Frills for the few things we needed, but continued downtown afterwards. There was a Sobeys and Valley Grocery there. We just checked out the Valley store. Locally owned and run. A really nice store. The first thing that greeted us was the smell of fresh cinnamon buns! Nice fresh produce and baking. Local specialties as well. Prices about the same as Sobeys.

We then stopped at Hopkins Harvest. They were selling cherries in bulk by the pound. I’ve never seen so many cherries at once. There was a huge table that was about 4 feet square and about 6 inches deep - it was full!

They were selling all the seasonal fruits and veggies, local jams and jellies, sauces, some meats and lunch meats. Not a full grocery selection. I think it’s mostly supplied by local farmers for sale. Very interesting place!

What a nice day!

Yesterday’s adventure - a hike to the top of the Dutch Creek Hoodoos!

It is a 3km hike (round trip), with a 95m rise. Some spots were a bit steep and exposed to the sun, with tiny areas of shade from the trees. The temp was about 85F, so it was hot! When we got close to the top, it levelled out more and there were more areas of shade with the trees. At one point, there was a much appreciated, well placed bench that had a nice breeze coming up the mountain.

I was able to appreciate so much on this hike! The views all along the way were spectacular! Wildflowers I had never seen before. At the summit, a grand view of the whole valley. Dutch Creek feeding into Columbia Lake (to the right), and the Columbia River flowing south from the Columbia Lake. This is the start of the Columbia River that flows into the States and creates the Columbia River Gorge! It’s small and unassuming here at the headwater!

In one pic, you can see the highway that we took the day before to visit the hoodoos, and the turnoff to the hike parking area.

On the way down, I took a pic at about the halfway point, and on the left you can see some buildings with red roofs. That is the resort we are staying at.

So glad we had water with us!!! This hike took us about an hour and a half in total. It was wonderful!

15/07/2024

Yesterday we went to the Fairmont Farmers Market, Dutch Creek Hoodoos, and Fairmont Hot Springs. In my teens, we spent part of every summer camping at Fairmont Hot Springs, so I’m very familiar with this whole area. It’s interesting to see what has changed and what hasn’t.

14/07/2024

This is the second suite we have in Fairmont, BC, which is adjoining the main suite (see previous pics). It is a 1 bedroom, 1 bath suite, but is smaller than the main suite. It has a full kitchen with a full fridge, oven/stove, microwave and dishwasher. Compared to the main suite, everything is a bit downsized.

I am totally impressed with this unit! We have stayed in this type of unit before, and the biggest thing that ticked me off was the size of the fridge and there was no oven. This one has a full fridge and full stove (cooktop and oven)! They are not full size, but they are there!!! This is a great budget friendly option that I would highly recommend!!! I would stay here!

As a secondary unit, as an accompaniment to the main unit, it is wonderful! So many options with this!

We were renting both the main unit AND secondary unit for $220/night! Crazy!

Yet another place we will return to. Love it💖💖💖

14/07/2024

We hit the road again! No one picked up the 2 suite rental in Fairmont, BC, so we are there!!!

These are our digs for the next week. Love it💖 So many wonderful amenities on site, gorgeous views! Nestled in a valley right beside the river with mountains surrounding. Nice and hot, with great ac in the suite. BBQ and table and chairs on a spacious deck, with a wonderful view of the river, even from our living room -so many rafters, canoers, paddle boarders! I’m thinking that that would be fun!!!

All this and we still have a second suite! I’ll post pics of that later.
