Pas de Maimbre Tours and Activities

Great location. Really close to the ski lifts - we could just walk out of the ski locker room and step onto the slope that leads down to the lifts. Plenty of shops, bars and restaurants within a very short walk. The hotel itself was great value for money - an endless supply of food and drink all included in the room rate. Breakfast was a huge buffet with pastries, fruit, cereal, yoghurt, eggs, bacon, breads, cooked meats, etc. You could make your own packed lunch during the breakfast buffet or return to the hotel for buffet lunch in the main restaurant or lunch in the adjoining Le Petit Zinc restaurant for burgers, paninis and salads (no need to take of ski boots in here). The hotel then provided crepes and waffles in the bar at 5pm before evening buffet from 7pm. You could also pre-book a slot one evening in the Petit Zinc giving an a la carte menu or an evening of raclette/fondue in Le Mont Blanc restaurant. The only issue was the lack of labeling of the food. As a vegetarian I struggled to identify if things contained meat or not and there wasn't a great deal of choice for me (vegans would really struggle). The bar was fantastic. It serves hot drinks, beers, wines, cocktails, spirits and soft drinks and was open until 10.30pm - giving plenty of drinking time before you either went out to other venues or retired to bed. There was live music in the bar for entertainment. Rooms are pretty basic, but clean. We didn't use the pool or spa as you had to pay extra for this.

Another MGM Hôtels & Résidences property that doesn’t disappoint. Great condition and facilities. Marvellous view from a South-facing room with balcony, as well as from reception and from the restaurant. Super-practical ventilated lockers in the ski room. Super close to one of the main chair lifts. Special mentions for the lady in charge of service at the restaurant, for dinners, and for service at the Sport 2000 ski rental shop inside the building. Could be improved: maybe make the lounge/reception area feel warmer/cosier and equip the bedroom with a better coffee machine. Keen to come back.

The hotel is ideal for skiing and is essentially a ski in/ski out property with a very short walk from the back of the hotel to the gondola. There is a ski rental at the entrance to the hotel. The staff is very nice. However, the hotel is a little worn and could use some updating. The elevator is small and outdated; have to push down button even when going up leading to much inefficiency with people getting on for both directions. We had a 2 bedroom/shared living room which was comfortably with a beautiful view of the slopes; be aware there's only 1 toilet although 2 showers/bath for multiple people. Rooms are a little dated. Very nice buffet breakfast with croissants, cheese, eggs, meats, lox, fruit etc, but gets a little hectic at times. Overall was a very nice experience at the hotel.
