Val Thorens Sensations France

Loved my stay at Club Med Val Thorens. As a solo traveller, it was such an easy, friendly and welcoming place to be. The atmosphere was really fun and social, but still relaxed enough to enjoy the trip at your own pace.

All the staff were super friendly and made the stay feel special. A big thank you to Soufiane, the Village Chief, for creating such a great atmosphere, Antonin, the events manager, for the brilliant entertainment, and Salima, who kept my room lovely and clean throughout the week.

The ski in/ski out location was amazing and made everything so easy. The food was great, with plenty of choice, and the ESF team were awesome too. Overall, such a fun and well-run Club Med. I’d definitely recommend it, especially for solo travellers.

This is my fourth visit to end my ski season to Val Thorens, France at the ClubMed.
It once again has been an easy pleasure being there. Every one of the GO's in every department, to the wonderful Kitchen & Wait staff, to the helpful Housekeeping & Maintenance crew are helpful and friendly making my stay that much more enjoyable with wonderful customers service.
The location is perfect with true ski in/out onto spectacular endless mountains. The atmosphere is every changing with different cultures from around the world which makes it that much more fun and interesting.
The rooms are clean and have everything you need.
The food is a delicious endless variety of wonderful tastes for everyone.
A big heart felt Thank You to EVERYONE there!!!
And thank you Thalia my personally assigned to keep me in the loop of all that the club has to offer.
See you next season.😘😘

What an incredible holiday! The Club Med model is incredible and surpassed all expectations! Incredible value too! The location is excellent, being ski in and out – very convenient. Restaurants and shops at the top of Castor & Pollux magic carpet a 10-minute walk away. Skiset for gear hire – 5 min walk. Gondola station (Cairn) opposite the hotel.

All the pre information you receive for checking in is helpful and makes everything seamless and efficient. If you’re going to be taking part in the ski lessons they ask you beforehand to fill out forms indicating your level etc so you are placed in appropriate ESF groups.

Would like to start by thanking Wallace at the Ski Pro Shop for excellent customer service.
Emily and FX at ESF as our super ski instructors.
Andrea and Rothia. Rothia moved hell and high mountain to get me some coins/change for the laundry. Not even reception could help but she made this happen.
Antonin – what a superstar! Friendly, fun and engaged and befriended the kids.

The quality and choice of food available at the buffet every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner was phenomenal! A little bit of extra effort is required to have more ‘main’ vegetarian options BUT when there were veg mains they were super and also when there were vegetarian starter bowls at the entrance of the restaurant, they were excellent (poke bowl, soya dumplings, mozzarella starter bowl etc). The salad bar and all the vegetarian side dishes were fantastic. There is a specialist in house Italian chef making incredible pizzas daily – they were better than eating outside club med! All the non veg options were plenty, of high quality and delicious too.

The snack spread that is laid out post morning ski was mind blowing and incredible. There were always bites available in the lounge in between meals and the tea time spread was always something we looked forward to – along with quiz time! Antonin made this a really fun event.

A few suggestions please:
Labelling Tea time snacks would be helpful. Had to ask a few times if the pies were veg or non veg.
More vegetarian main options rather than just lots of side dishes required.
Having milk available for self-service at tea time for tea/coffee would be great rather than having to ask the bar man who was very busy making cocktails!
A knife is required in the condiments section at breakfast to make taking peanut better etc easier – it doesn’t fall off a spoon easily and one doesn’t want to use their finger to contaminate the entire contents.
Chia seeds need to be replenished faster at breakfast as there were a few days where we were without.
An eye please on washing of cutlery and plates – we came across many dirty ones.
A good hot chocolate experience with whipped cream at tea time would be great rather than the machine hot chocolate – this was literally the only thing we had to go outside the hotel for.

The rooms at Club Med are tasteful, cosy and comfortable. Double sinks – a wonderful thought. Separate toilet and bathroom – excellent idea and toilet has enough space inside to store your suitcases. Storage – plentiful: Under bed, good cupboard space, bench storeage, Bedside tables, Desk. You can't hear any noise outside in the corridors from your room.

Cleanliness of rooms could be improved - Rooms quite dusty, inside drawers etc not very clean. Around and behind taps and sinks – not cleaned well and lots of dust.

Green water bottles and water dispensers outside the rooms - really cool touch.

Atmosphere of the hotel in general was great! Friendly and many different people from all over, some for the ski and some just to chill. All ages very welcome! Loved that there were so many fitness classes to choose from if one didn't want to ski - look forward to trying these and the spa next time!

All in all excellent and can't wait to come back!

had a great time in this resort. Everyone was very welcoming and efficient. The skiing was probably the best ever, love the wide slopes and so many places to go, definitely a plus that there was so much snow!
