Just back from Arinsal, had a wicked time. Stayed at Poblado & as usual Danny, Kevin & the girls (Gemma, Lynsey & Chloe) were very accomodating. The resort was really quiet but Quo Vadis was normally busy. The rooms were clean, secure & as close to the gondola as you can get, keeping walking to a minimum!
Found the food in El Moli to be probably the best around, not one bad dish between us in there. Had good nights in El Cau & Ciscos with the workers finishing up for the season.
The slopes were empty, like having your own ski slope, they was a bit icy in the morning but improved during the day & it snowed on the Saturday. Took a trip over to Pal for the day which was good as quite varied & visited Arcalis which was the nuts, loads of snow & loads of runs. Had a look in the cave at the Stalagmights which was unexpected.
Only gripe I have is that the strength of the Euro meant it was pretty expensive out there as the exchange rate was 1 for 1. Other than that, I can't fault the resort. The people were great & the snow was really good, I would recommend Arinsal to anyone as the links to Pal opens it up to the more advanced skiier & the snow parks are far more challenging than in previous years.
I would also choose Poblado again as the location is second to none. Also, we met Steve from arinsal.co.uk in the bar!!
