Hotel Palarine

After seeing a good deal offered by crystal ski for this place and reading others reviews we booked one week half board .the value and quality of the food alone would make this place great .couple that with the staff it is amazing .not on the piste but free bus service works great (lovely driver who honks his horn when he sees you walking in the rain and lets you on even if not at the bus stop!)

Wow if only other hotels were run like this. From start to finish a totally great experience. From. The moment we arrived everyone and everything was superb. The food is so so good hot and fresh and plenty of different choices every night. The breakfast is one of the best I’ve had in a skiing trip. The rooms are clean spacious and modern. Constant hot water and very warm. Graham and he’s wife do a lovely job and so do all the staff all friendly happy and are a credit to the hotel. We will definitely return. Thank you once again to everyone at the hotel 👍👍👍

Fantastic hotel. Food is brilliant. Different theme every night. There are free buses up to gondola. If you want to walk it took me and my wife approx 23 mins at a slow pace. Rent a locker up at top or if hiring from pic negre rent one of theirs facing gondola. Every person in hotel is so helpful and friendly.

We have just returned from a fabulous week at Hotel Palarine. The staff were friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. After reading reviews I was worried that there wouldn’t be much for me as a vegetarian, but I let them know when I arrived and the chef made sure that there was always something for me - even making me my own dish on two of the evenings. Over and above what I had expected. The food was lovely, especially the curry night and the Chinese night. The bar is really nice, with 241 drinks during happy hour. There was cocktail night one night, a quiz, live music and a fantastic magician. It was a relaxed and laid back atmosphere which suited us. The rooms were warm and clean, with a bath, safe, hairdryer and plenty of towels. We were comfortable. Breakfasts were nice and they even opened the restaurant for breakfast before our 5am pick up for our return journey - again more than k was expecting and a really nice touch. I was a bit concerned about getting to the slopes before I arrived, but the buses were fine. The free bus arrived on time at 8.20 every morning, which gave us plenty of time to get to the slopes before our lessons started. The bus stop was just across the road from the hotel. Getting home we just waited at the bus stop and either got the free bus again or the €1.90 L5 bus which was every 30 mins. It worked fine. I would recommend getting a ski locker at the shop at the top of the gondola so you don’t have to carry your gear all the way back. This worked really well for us. All in all I would totally recommend this hotel. It was reasonably priced, great quality and we had a lovely break. I would go back again.

Cracking hotel incorporating a really inviting, buzzing bar, and a restaurant serving up delicious high-quality food. Comfortable, modern and impeccably clean rooms. All in all, wonderful hospitality from fantastic hosts. We can’t wait to return next year.

It’s actually hard to find anything bad to say about this hotel! The only ‘downside’ would be the fact that you are reliant on the buses to get to / from the slopes. But they were fairly regular, with a choice of two directions - and they were free! So we really can’t complain. (The Hotel also arranged several free trips to local resorts, one of which we were lucky enough to join - a really lovely bonus that we hadn’t expected, which was very much appreciated) We booked this holiday fairly last-minute through Crystal Ski, at a VERY good price. So our expectations were not sky-high. But we were absolutely delighted with this hotel. From the moment we arrived, when we were welcomed by the friendly and helpful staff, we felt completely at home. Our room had everything we needed for a comfortable stay and despite the bathroom being a little dated (1970’s pink and beige!) everything worked perfectly well and having a bath was a luxury we really hadn’t expected - very much appreciated after a day on the slopes. The hotel bar was lovely; open fire, comfortable seats, really good prices for drinks during happy hours, great entertainment on several nights, plus the friendly staff that were a recurring feature of the hotel - we really enjoyed spending our evenings in here 😊 And then there was the food… We had read the good reviews before arriving, and hoped that we wouldn’t be disappointed - and we most definitely were not! Breakfasts were good and plentiful, but the evening meals were just fabulous. A different theme every night, with a huge choice of absolutely delicious dishes. The only problem was trying to stop yourself from eating too much! It really was an unexpectedly good experience from start to finish, with much credit going to the staff of the hotel who were exceptional. Thank you Graham, Maria and every one of your team for a fantastic stay ❤️
