We stayed in the Planibel apartments for the last week of the ski season. This means that the resort was begining to close and was full of children on school skiing trips which may have affected our experience. The good stuff: The apartments are all that you need, there is plenty of room (store skis on balcony), they are equipped... more

Positive first: great access to the open uncrowded slopes. That's the quick bit. The whole complex (we stayed in the self-catering apartments) looks like a 1960's council estate. Tatty does not come close. The apartments bring a new meaning to basic, with nothing comfortable about the dark, dirty and depressing decor. There is one terrible restaurant in the complex and... more

This is very good value complex to stay in. We did not stay in the hotel rooms but rented a SC apartment which for 2 people was huge. Double bedroom with ensuite, seperate lounge/kitchenette with pullout double bed and another bathroom. The rooms have plenty of room for your skis etc and it is easy to dry your equipment in... more

Was generally very happy with Planibel - location superb; could literally see the slopes / chair lifts etc from my bed - 30 second walk from hotel. Free 15 minutes internet access was a bonus and food was better than I had expected. Boot room was also pretty good - included useful personal lockers. Only negative was leisure facilities (3... more

After reading some of the other negative reviews I was concerned that I may have chosen badly with the Planibel Hotel in which to base some friends and I for a weeks skiing/snowboarding holiday, I shouldn't have worried. Before anyone who wishes to suggest I haven't travelled much and have nothing of quality to compare it with, I must politely... more

On just returning from a week's skiing in La Thuile we felt we should put our review on the apartments at the Planibel Resort as we were pleasantly surprised. We booked this trip as our Xmas Pressie to each other (this is not our main skiing holiday) and it was a last minute offer. After reading the reviews on trip... more

Well, thanks to Wellyboot's review I was dreading this holiday, despite the fact that I had booked it for my husbands 30th birthday. In fact, the self catering rooms are absolutley fine for a weeks getaway in the snow and the rooms were perfectly warm and comfortable. The reception staff were also friendly and even booked some treatments for us... more

was very worried when reading the other reviews but were set at ease when we arrived. the resort, the town and the slopes themselves are all very picturesque. we were possibly lucky with the weather as it was claimed to be the best snow in 10 years and there was only one day in 6 when the cloud made things... more

The location of the Planibel complex in La Thuile is definitely excellent, we were no more than 50m away from the main Les Suches gondola – however, location aside there is nothing else good I have to say about the place. The type C apartment in the San Bernard block we stayed in, booked through Crystal Ski, did not provide... more
