Perfect holiday once again

10.0

Its our 3rd summer vacation here and already thinking of booking our 4th stay for next summer. This place & location, cuisine, activities & sports opportunities available are all perfect. Thank you for making our stay unforgetable once again.

Beautiful area

8.0

A very nice hotel in an area of spectacular scenery. The hotel is beautifully appointed with lovey views from the rooms. The three level spa with a rooftop infinity pool is one of the nicest I have experienced The gym is small but adequate The food really is of top quality with a gourmet menu served each evening. Adults are seated in a separate dining area from families. Very minor criticisms-the spa closes at 7 pm which is a little early , & tap water is charged for, which seems unnecessary in such a high end hotel.

Great staff, stylish design, classy spa but poor dinners, no Aircon, annoying piped music almost everywhere

Some clear positives: staff are all terrific, the design of the whole place is beautiful and classy, the bar area was great, Maria alm is a great summer location, so pretty, calm with great walking, and a lovely spa area and pool. Breakfast also great. Providing hiking backpacks in the rooms was a super touch. On the negative side our room was advertised as a cosy room and was certainly very small, with a view of the car park which was uninspiring in a place of such beauty. No minibar seems slightly unusual too. A bigger issue is that there is no air-conditioning and sadly with global warming it was hot for three of the nights we were there and not all easy to sleep. Meanwhile drawing the curtains to manage heat is a partial way forward but sad to do in such a beautiful location, notwithstanding our grim view. The dinners are also, sorry to say, not good. The kitchen aims to deliver a multi course gourmet experience . In reality the menu planning tries far too hard to be inventive and comes up with far too many unfortunate combinations. Portions are also very small as a multi course offering. So on the rare occasions that the dishes worked, the portions were too small; most of the time the whacky combinations were in reality too large portions. They did offer a basic alternative menu and when we went there, the steaks and schnitzels were great albeit for a supplement. We have no problem with fine dining and gourmet cuisine and eat is quite often at home and around the world. This is just poorly executed fine dining. We also think there is too much piped music throughout the property. There is music played almost everywhere when part of the joy of visiting the mountains in summer is for the beautiful calm.. and the music being played is also a stream of dull middle of the road covers. Finally, TripAdvisor showed at the time of booking and indeed writing, the place having a table tennis table. This was a key draw for us. It doesn't. The staff showed us the air hockey and baby football but both these are kids versions and not fun for adults or teens.

Gut zum Skifahren - allerdings gehobenes Preisniveau

Frühstück war in Ordnung - Wurstwaren allerdings etwas weniger frisch. Zimmer haben keinen direkten Bergblick. Pool und Spaanlagen sind dagegen traumhaft.
