My Husband & I spent 2 nights amazing at this hotel in December 2011. (We couldn't afford to stay any longer!)
From the moment we arrived we were treated with the most upper respect.
We had one of the new rooms at the opposite end of the hotel to the reception. The room was very spacious with a cupboard or draw for everything. We managed to fit all of our luggage into the bottom of the wardrobe and we had alot! (2 large suite cases, and 3 small).
The bed was very comfortable, quite firm.
The toilet was separate to the bathroom and had it's own wash basin. The bathroom was lovely, complete with heated floor & towel rack and all the toiletries you'd need (shampoo, soap, shower cap, comb, etc). Separate shower to the bath
We paid for half board which included our breakfast & dinner each day. The food was amazing, dinner was fine dining, with a waiter always at your service. We had 5 course meals including a buffet salad bar. Our waiter Andre put a lot of effort into speaking english to us.
The breakfasts were typical European, the buffet selection was huge, bacon eggs, cheeses, sliced meats, smoked salmon, various breads and pastries, cereal, yoghurt, fresh fruits & juices (beetroot, carrot, grapefruit, apple, orange and my fav berry, they even had champagne!), cakes. It was just amazing!
The facilities are great, there was a library & gym (although they looked like it hardly ever got used), saunas (with naked relaxation area) and the most spectacular pool (indoor) I have ever seen. Located on the top floor (the 7th I think) with 180 degree views down to the town below. It was so magical being able to swim with this view.
There is an on site massage & beauty spa. I had a 20 min back & shoulder massage, although it was expensive, it had to be done! (about 50 or 60 euros)
There was shuttle bus we used to get into town (it left every hour on the hour, from about 9-6 I think). (The hotel is located at the top of a hill, so it would be a big walk home!)
We didn't go skiing (as there was no snow to our disappointment). But I think it would have been difficult and annoying having to catch the shuttle bus down to the town, and then walk to the ski slopes everyday.
The only thing I could fault was that there was a construction site right out side of our balcony which was an eyesight. Although the double glazing on the windows did a good job to keep the sound out.
