paulm, seems a tidy enough place. Went in there for a drink when staying in Arinsal earlier this year. 6/7 min walk to the main lifts.

I stayed there five years and thought it was a great hotel. Very handy for the ski lifts and for Quo Vadis (the best bar in Arinsal), and it has its own gym, spa, and an amusement arcade with a bowling alley. So there's plenty to do if getting drunk isn't all you fancy. Rooms were clean and fair-sized, and the food was nice, as well as plentiful.
Go ski-ing in Pal when you can, it's much nicer. Jump on a bus one day too and go to Arcalis (same ski pass). It's a bit of a hike, but worth it.

Hey Paul,
Myself and the girlfriend went there for Christmas 2006 and stayed in the Diana wing of the hotel and it was absolutely brilliant. The staff were incredibly friendly and the service and general cleanliness were far supperior to many hotels i have stayed in here in Dublin which have a similar star rating. I honestly couldnt rate it highly enough.
I could give you many examples of the brilliant service we received but what summed it up for us was that they bagged our dirty clothes. I know it sounds disgusting but when you are rushing in the morning to be at ski school on time, the last thing on your mind is to tidy them up (we had just been shoving them under the desk) but when we came back the room was spotless and the clothes had been bagged up for us.
Needless to say, we left a big tip for the cleaning staff at the end of the week to say thanks.

I've stayed there with my mum, nice place. Spa worth a trip although you pay extra but only 12E or so. Easy for the lift, although the little path can get MEGA icey! Live Music in Bogarts is good, and the bowling alley downstairs is handy!

Is it just me, or would this question have been better asked prior to booking?
Yours in pedantry K
