• Justine from United Kingdom (9/10)

  All round everything worked well. Only comment was that the rooms were very warm and there is no way to turn the temperature at night down except open the window – but that works.

• Piers from United Kingdom (9/10)

  We had a junior suite. The description said a double bed with a sofa bed for one child and a separate room with a single bed for another child. In actual fact there was a pull out bed under the single bed so both children could sleep in the little room together which was much better.
  The suite was spacious with plenty of storage. A table and sofa where we could sit and play games.
  The spa was amazing and the perfect wind down after a day’s skiing. Children allowed until 6pm which was good for a cut off time and for people without kids!
  The restaurants were all great. The dinner buffet was very varied and good value.
  The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. One server called Gaylord was particularly attentive and remembered all our morning coffee orders from day one.
  Another lady, Vicky, was incredibly kind and helpful after I’d hurt my leg skiing.
  Overall a fantastic hotel which we would thoroughly recommend and will be coming back to!
