Hi, friends! We just got back from our first stay at Cooper Creek (on rented points) and it was absolutely wonderful! We had two suites on two separate reservations. I had asked the rental company to have the member reference/link the reservations, and we ended up getting suites right next to each other... 1134 and 1136 facing Boulder Ridge. The location was great - right near the CC elevator and a side door that was a great shortcut to and from the buses, the Boulder Ridge pool, and the walkway to Geyser Point. Both of these rooms have tubs, and 1134 has a connecting door to what I assume is a one bedroom. 1136 is a dedicated studio. The rooms were sparkling clean and had tons of towels. We missed our towel service on day four because my son and husband each were napping and had the do not disturb signs up, but we were able to grab our own towels from a cart that was in the hallway each morning. The cart also had sheets, toilet paper, tissues, and paper towels, which I thought was great! I didn’t miss the usual daily housekeeping at all, especially since they take the trash every day.
We ate breakfast, a late dinner, and some snacks at Roaring Fork, and everything was pretty good. The chocolate mint cupcake that they have right now is delicious. My hubby and I had drinks, wings, and cheesy brisket dip at Geyser Point one evening and that was tasty, too. That’s a great spot to sit and hang out. My sons were down there one night just walking around and ended up watching the electric water parade from a couple of comfy chairs, which they really enjoyed. On our departure day we had breakfast at Whispering Canyon Cafe and we really liked that, as well. We had the skillet, eggs Benedict, a Belgian waffle, and steel-cut oatmeal, and it was all fantastic.
My 16 year old and I hung out at the Boulder Ridge pool while the hubby and 18 year old were napping one afternoon, and we really enjoyed it. We had walked by the main pool and it was a bit noisy for us because there were tons of little kids and the staff was running a bunch of activities, but I can see how families with younger kids would really enjoy it.
And that lobby... it’s really breathtaking. We enjoyed just sitting in it and relaxing. The store was great, too. Service throughout the resort was top notch. I would definitely stay again! I’ll be back to the World this fall with my sister, probably in a moderate, but in a few years when my hubby and kids come back, we will have a hard time deciding NOT to stay here. We’ve always said we will try AKL, but given the experience we had at WL/Copper Creek, we may just have to stay here again.
