Stayed 23rd to 30th Jan in the apartments (rather than the hotel). We went with Inghams. Apparently, they pay more than the other tour operators, so get the better rooms. Our wasn't in their "exclusive" Monte Bianco block, but the next one down. This was about 30ft from the lifts. Our apartment was clean, in good condition, and had everything... more

Just returned from “La Thuile” and I’m pleased to say that it was much better than expected. The last reviewer Natasha is right, these apartments have seen better days, but I didn’t allow the “spaghetti engineering” electric hob to spoil my holiday. The weather was brilliant all week except for one afternoon. The skiing area is underrated and had far... more

We`ve just returned from La Thuile and stayed with Crystal at the Planibel Apartments. Dont believe what the brochure says. Our apartment was disgustingly dirty and lacked any sort of comfort. There was no comfortable seating, only a wooden bench around a table, no sofas or comfy chairs. The rooms and bathrooms were dirty, and grimy, with human hair on... more

Stayed at the Planibel Hotel between 20th and 27th December with my husband and 2 children aged 20 and 23 for a Christmas skiing holiday. The first impressions were good. The reception area was bright and clean and the staff were very friendly and polite. We were swiftly shown to our room and our luggage carried by the equally polite... more

Stayed here last week (3rd to 10th January) and the apartments are the worst we have ever stayed in. There is no way these are four star, two star would probably be a better rating. They were clean enough, enough you can clean something that is probably so old will never look clean. There were stains on the bedroom carpet... more

I stayed at the Planibel appts for the new year celebrations (2010) and thought I had to write when I got home as I had read a lot of negative reviews before I went. 9 of us went which included 4 adults and varying ages of kids from 9 to 18 (I know not kids), but our kids, and I... more

I stayed for three nights in January at this hotel. Firstly, great location, right beside lifts. I found from first arrival that the reception and leisure centre staff were incredibly rude and not in the least attentive or interested in doing a good job. This continued for the whole weekend (except bar and waiting staff who were quite engaging). The... more

We stayed in the Planibel apartments for the last week of the ski season. This means that the resort was begining to close and was full of children on school skiing trips which may have affected our experience. The good stuff: The apartments are all that you need, there is plenty of room (store skis on balcony), they are equipped... more

Positive first: great access to the open uncrowded slopes. That's the quick bit. The whole complex (we stayed in the self-catering apartments) looks like a 1960's council estate. Tatty does not come close. The apartments bring a new meaning to basic, with nothing comfortable about the dark, dirty and depressing decor. There is one terrible restaurant in the complex and... more
