We enjoyed our apartment and the facilities within the resort.

9.0

We loved our stay. We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment on the ground floor. The apartment was well equipped and spacious enough for 4 people. We had a mountain view, this was lovely. We travelled in the winter months and the heating of the apartment was wonderful and warm. We had a wonderful communication with staff on arrival and departure and enjoyed all the facilities at the resort.

− The WI FI was not good. We were continually trying to connect to WIFI as it would drop out. We had to buy our own data as it became very frustrating.
