"非常棒的位置,服务和设施。服务一流。无论是Villa的接待人员还是滑雪场的工作人员态度都非常好,非常客气。前台的妹子都很漂亮,还兼当司机,有什么问题都非常耐心的回答,有一次电话里沟通不清还特地跑到别墅当面给我示范。租赁滑雪装备时工作人员也非常耐心的给我们一件件试穿,还主动叫车送我们回别墅。住villa的客人在度假村内无论去哪都可以叫专车接送,去车站和购物中心也有专车接送,其实距离也不远,后面都不好意思麻烦他们了,自己走过去。别墅非常温馨舒适,房间也大,我们一层楼别墅住6大1小也没觉的局促。滑完雪泡个温泉,到服务中心喝个免费下午茶,再回到别墅点起个火炉坐在摇椅上简直是神仙般的享受。唯一觉得差点的就是温泉的设施,进门就要脱鞋,一路赤脚走到二楼,更衣室地板都有水,不是很干净,也没有按摩椅,和专门的温泉酒店还是有差距,但也算不错了"
