Pros:

The resort is situated in an excellent location with accessable roads. When we got to reception we was greeted with friendly staff. Since we had a huge group the resort arranged for all 3 units to be close to each other. The units were comfortable, clean and well equipped. Lots for adults and kids to do.

Cons:

It would be nice to have put fires or rentals at your units.

Pros:

The location the family ordinated atmosphere

Cons:

The bartender on the Saturday night shift was rude and extremely arrogant. Was happy to serve us around if drinks at 21:50 and then tell us to leave by 10 not allowing us the opportunity to finish our drinks. He went to the extent of having his security guards escort us out the venue. I was at Alpine two years ago and must admit we are disappointed how much the place has changed and the rooms have deteriorated drastically.
