"Some really good parts: kids club, pool, ski school, horse rides for kids. All great. But two big downsides. Firstly, it seemed like they were trying to squeeze every penny out of us, like a budget airline would. The all-inclusive was not really - you had to pay for coffees at lunchtime for instance - and staff would come over and try to upsell. Same with alcohol: all had to be paid for as extra, and staff were trying to flog it as soon as we sat down. It makes the place feel a bit cheap and money-grabbing. It was so odd for these things to not be included in all-inclusive. Very different to other all-inclusive places I’ve been in the past. Then one other thing: it’s the first place I’ve stayed since at least the pandemic that didn’t have a smart-TV. Most people are there with their kids, so have to stay in the room from relatively early each evening, so the very old-fashioned TVs are not ideal - this would be such an easy thing to upgrade. Also, there were some really odd design things. There is a baby monitor system, but it attaches to the phone line, and the phone socket is in the adults’ room not the kids’ room. So weird. And if we had wanted to watch TV, it was mounted on the wall of the children’s room. Such a bizarre place to put it as it’s going to wake light-sleeping kids up. Literally anywhere else in the room would have been better. So yeah. Some really good bits, but I don’t think I would recommend to friends as the above downsides took the polish off. "

"My wife and I are from the US, and the hardest part of this trip was leaving. We were here for two weeks from January into February, and the home was nothing short of spectacular. The cleanliness, layout, and everything you could possibly need were provided. We spent every day hiking or snowshoeing. We explored the beautiful local trails and also ventured into the mountaintops via one of the three local gondolas. Each day ended with a delicious meal at the Seealm restaurant. The charming village of Achenkirch is a collection of stunning Tyrolean structures with very friendly inhabitants. We will be back. Maybe in the summer? It will be hard to top the beauty of the winter landscape."
