Everything about Hotel Maribel for our week-long ski vacation was perfect. The facility is outstanding, and the food is to die for (more on these later), but even better is the wonderful staff - Andrea, who made the special lemon and honey tea for my son's sore throat; the maitre'd and wait staff (especially Nicola and his brother) who brought me a specially-prepared meal every evening (doctor's orders) and fresh squeezed OJ every morning; Vasilly, who hustled all day long, providing (ski room) door to (ski lift) door service with a smile every day. Mario has built a marvelous hotel: dreamy, comfortable beds, sparkling clean and spacious rooms, very nicely appointed bathrooms, plush hooded robes and slippers for the relaxing and rejuvenating wellness center, heated boot racks in the ski room, carrot cake and chocolate fondue by the fireplace in the afternoon. Ahh ! the Wellness Center, tremendous pool, relaxing saunas, rejuvenating steam room, invigorating aromatherapy showers, massages to melt away your cares as well as the sore muscles. The food - absolutely scrumptious breakfast buffet, gourmet selections at dinner, a menu that changes daily, with new taste sensations every day. And did I mention that there is a golf course across the street? Can't wait for summer!
