I really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It was a very last minute booking for me and my family, and it couldn’t have turned out better. The location is excellent for the town, and the shuttle bus service to the slopes was very convenient. The only downside on arrival was that the drive from the road to the hotel could have been better cleared, which made access a little tricky. All of the staff were absolutely lovely and friendly throughout our stay, which really made a difference. We stayed in a duplex room for two adults and our 16 and 17 year old children. The sofa bed was quite small and there was no way the two of them could have shared it comfortably, but after a quick trip to reception, an extra bed was delivered and made up later that evening — we couldn’t have asked for better service. The view from our room was amazing. We were half board and had no complaints about the food or the variety offered. The breakfast bag they prepared for our early flight was an added bonus and very much appreciated. The spa was a little disappointing, but it served its purpose. The lounge area was cosy and inviting, and the drinks were reasonably priced. Overall, we had a really enjoyable stay and would definitely return.

Just had a fantastic week at Hotel Ibiza. The hotel was fantastic, the staff were very friendly and helpful and we had a great week. The twin room was very clean and comfortable and well priced. Fantastic view of the slopes. It is about a 5 minute walk to the slopes but the hotel run a fantastic shuttle service to and from the hotel to two drop off points so you don't have to walk if you don't want to. The hotel has a relaxed vibe and a great base for a week skiing. The pool/sauna area is a real bonus to relax after a day on the slopes. Well laced to walk into town on a night or relax in the lovely bar area. Great for couples or families. We had half board and the food was fantastic. Breakfast and evening meal were Buffet service and a great choice with great service by the team. I would go back tomorrow, its a lovely hotel to stay at in Les 2 Alps. Thanks for a great week.

“A bit like lipstick on a pig - but not quite”

Well im quite conflicted about this report. On the whole the hotel is pretty good but there are some issues i think should be addressed. Good bits. Hotel was really clean and the staff were great. On the whole the food was pretty good - although there were some issues. The lounge area also looked pretty good - although we didnt use it. Good boot room and ski storage. Really nice to have croissants/pain au chocolat and fruit in the lounge area after skiing. There is no kettle in the room but a hot water boiler thingy in the corridors - so getting a HOT drink from it was difficult. Areas where I think there is room for improvement. Food - breakfast buffet was good although one of the cereal items wasnt replaced all week - there was a lot of choice - both hot and cold and we never went hungry. But if you are going to offer hot water and teapots - PLEASE give us a lid for the pot - the "hot" water was often only every "medium" water which isnt nice for your morning cuppa. Evening buffet - on the whole pretty good but the large items - like the big dishes of lasagne were cold. But where do you ever see mussels and duck leg on a buffet menu?? Top marks for that! My bugbear is cold food so a microwave would have been good - the lasagne was really tasty but i dont do cold food (where its supposed to be hot!) The food items were replaced frequently so if you kept an eye out you could get hot chips! Always a choice of meat and fish and a good selection of cheeses and deserts. However it was really disconcerting that they started to lay out tables for breakfast even though people were half way through dinner - I understand why they would do this but it doesnt make for the best dining experience. Two further issues - one minor and one pretty major. Putting up a load of old posters in cheap Ikea frames, putting a random selection of toys in glass topped tables and putting records up on every conceivable surface doesnt make your hotel "trendy". It makes it tacky and cheap. As does the Christmas treee and decorations still up in February! But one of the biggest issues for me was that the slope up from the hotel to the main road - and where you would pick up the ski shuttle bus ( a great service btw) was never cleared to make it safe to use. Its only a short distance but was very steep and wouldnt have taken 5 minutes to keep it clear/safe and easy to use. Trying to get down there after a days skiing in boots was pretty dicey. And they could do FAR FAR better on the breakfast bag - as we were leaving before the breakfast buffet opened they did us a pack up - i dont know why they bothered - it was a basic brown bread sandwich, a bag of crisps and an apple. I mean - who eats CRISPS for breakfast!!!!!!! They offer soo much choice for breakfast I dont know why they would offer something soo poor! Overall its a pretty decent hotel, decent breakfast and evening buffet, clean rooms but some areas for improvement. In terms of the resort - absolutely horrifically busy - there must have been 2000 people in the lift queue one morning (and that was just one lift!). The skiing is limited - yes there is a green run from mid to bottom - but its not really a green - its much more of a blue. Its a narrow run with a steep drop off on one side and very unpleasant to ski on. Its definately NOT a run for beginners. The top is ok but the lack of trees means visibiity is limited and therefore the skiing is more difficult. Skiing on the smaller hill is better although there are limited runs. And its really disconcerting to see soo many people drinking from 1030 onwards (we usually ski in Canada) and have never seen anything like it. And be aware if you are flying in to Chambery (we went with Crystal) over half of their flight never manage to land there due to weather conditions (fog) which leads to much longer transfers.

Lovely Hotel, very friendly and helpful staff. North facing rooms are very small with no control over room temperature and very poor water pressure in the shower. Food was good but only luke warm which spoilt the pleasure of the meals as did Thursday night's disco which was so loud the lounge was unusable. It also appears that by using the wifi and having to log on, your email address is sold to dodgy companies that send you numerous spam emails once you return home.
