One of the most important additions is the Equinox Explorer’s Club, designed for children ages 4-12 in all day or half day programs (this isn’t offered every day and the hotel recommends making reservations). Taking a big swing on the playground out back. Some of these programs may be just during certain weekends, some seasonal, and others phased out or replaced. What this means is that they are trying out a variety of new programs aimed at kids and that it’s important to ask what’s available to your children while you’re there. In speaking with a member of the Equinox Resort Vermont staff in 2016, I was told that since a new manger came onto the scene, the hotel has been working towards having a more family friendly presence. Is it them? Or is it me? Or maybe, just maybe, it really is both of us. Now I see kids, families, spread out through the hotel. We used to just be a couple, and we’d see other couples all around. Or at least I pay attention to different types of clientele. In essence it is still the same place, but the clientele seems quite different. Or maybe I’d like to think this hotel and I have changed together. These days? Well it isn’t just the two of us, so how has my relationship with this property changed? To begin with, the hotel has changed. Meandering paths perfect for practicing bike-riding. A view from the parking lot towards the hotel. It was live music at The Falcon Bar and long, sunny days golfing. Easy and difficult hikes through Mount Equinox, which was right out the back door. It was nights sitting by the fire, sipping wine. Now, that was way before kids, and back then when it was just the two of us, it was amazing. But you see, my husband knows how to work magic with points and Starwood/Marriott is one of his preferred groups. We didn’t know much in fact, we didn’t even read any an Equinox Resort Vermont review. I just wanted somewhere with clean air and a slower place, and the Equinox is what we found. I wasn’t in the market for a family friendly hotel. When it was just the two of us, I wanted somewhere to go to get out of Brooklyn and hike.
