After reading mixed reviews of this hotel, we were slightly worried what to expect from this hotel, as have never been anywhere like this before. Need not worry it was the best holiday ever, and I can only totally agree with Clairedevon and nikkipink with their reviews. We booked with Thomsons. Flight was very festive, staff were wearing Santa hats... More

My husband and I went for 5 days over christmas too and would second everything that claredevon said.....we were treated wonderfully and not made to feel as if adults have no place there! Like the previous reviewer I'd say that I had heard complaints about the food but really, these complainers need to get a life because the food was... More

We stayed in the Yllas Log Cabins on a half board basis using this hotel for meals, travelling with Inghams. Limited selection, often food served tepid or cold, always chips and bread available at meals to fill yourself up. Gala Santa Xmas dinner disappointment.

Went to the snow elf last week and had a fab time. Kids entertainment at night - Thomson the dog telling stories for the younger kids and then a disco afterwards 8pm-9.30 (selected nights) food was limited but very very nice. They had what I'd call a 'holiday full english'. bacon, hot dogs sausages, beans, egg etc aswell as loads... More

I would never book any holiday or overnight accommodation without first consulting Trip Advisor, and this is the first time ever that I have been let down. We were given our key for our apartment on the coach to the Hotel, and were dropped off right outside the Apartment blocks. We opened the door to the apartment and could not... More
