Good Points

The food was very nice, the hotel was clean. Short transfer time of 1hr 15 from the airport.


Bad Points

Not worth the amount of money it costs to holiday there. Very much in need of an update/ grade, not in my opinion 4* standard. Poor excuse for a restaurant, more of a room where they place food on trays where they are left to get cold and once eaten are not replenished!!!
The bus does not pick up or drop you off with your luggage at the hotel and you are forced to drag it up hill in the dark on arrival to the hotel (approx 200metres!!).


General Comments

The Sauze d'oulx Hotel does not have a health Spa/ gym inside (as you are led to believe), it is across a car park and has a charge of 5 euro per session.
The Hotel is not 4* standard, and in desperate need of upgrading, it reminded me more of a Hostel.
There is one mini bus that takes 8 people at a time to the ski lifts, it's a 10 minute round trip and so you can be queueing an hour before getting on to the slopes. It actually doesn't take that long to walk to the lift but is all up hill.
The place itself is very expensive (5 euros a pint, 2.50 for a can of coke, 1.50 for a packet of fruit pastilles, even in happy hour its still 4 euros a pint!!!).
If it wasn't for the fact that the Snow was fantastic (with some good open runs for the intermediate skiier, however, very badly sign posted and we did get lost twice!!!) it would have been one very disappointing holiday, but the novelty of having so much snow made up for the Hotel and Resort's short comings. However, we will not be returning again as it was too expensive, not worth the money for accomodation and disappointing!!!!! (they don't help themselves in terms of encouraging you to return!!!)
