Victoria, BC, November 4, 2009: The Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort & Spa, Victoria has made its debut on the Conde Nast Traveler 2009 Readers' Choice Awards and is in good company alongside Canada's top 20 resorts.

The Westin Bear Mountain made its appearance on the list at the #20 spot. The list is ranked by readers, so Len Barrie, President and CEO, Bear Mountain Resort, wasn’t at all surprised by the news.

"Making that list has been a part of our vision for the resort since day one and we are proud of everyone who has contributed to create a world class experience for the customer," said Barrie. "Every day of the year, we strive to provide our guests with the best service and experiences possible. That shows in the number of guests who return for a repeat visit and in the comments we receive from satisfied customers. Guests come to golf, to relax and to simply get away from it all and soak in the natural surroundings that embrace the Resort. We are the only Resort in Canada to offer a 36 hole Nicklaus Design golf experience, we have award winning golf professionals, an award winning wine cellar, and exceptional cuisine. It doesn’t get much better and because this accolade comes from the readers of Conde Nast Traveler it's terrific validation of what we have strived long and hard to achieve."

If you haven't discovered The Westin Bear Mountain, there isn't a better time than now. Until November 30 you can book their "Final Swing" package for $99 per person, based on double occupancy. It includes a one night's stay in a traditional guestroom and a round of golf on the Mountain course.
