This is definitely not a 5-star property but if interest is on-hill accommodation at Panorama it fits well. The rooms are rather spartan but are large and clean. The Fireside Cafe win the hotel is a good option for breakfast. It would be good if the staff were better trained and provided with information. I could not locate my room as it was in a second building. None of the staff seemed to know this and I had to return to the central check-in to get details. I do not understand why the hotel makes check-out difficult. One has to return to the resort's central office via a lift and walk to check-out rather than just leaving keys in the room or visiting the resort's information desk beside the horel

Stay away!
Hotel is dated. Elevators only go to certain floors in one wing. No elevators in other wing which is 5 stories. No mini fridge, no microwave. Check in time is 5pm two of our rooms weren’t ready until after 5pm. I would not recommend.

Not worth the location
The Approch is right off the hill, and this room seems like a deal…. Until it’s 2am and you can sleep from the T-Bar rave going on, and the hords of lifting tracking past your room screaming and yelling. Wouldn’t recommend if you want to sleep through the night.

The room was clean but that was about it. Kinda felt like the recent renovation was done cheaply and some of the fundamentals were missed. Elevator was broken. Tv didnt work. some of the electrical sockets werent working. No phone to call the desk. Guy tried to fix the tv but nothing ever happened. Wont be recommending Panorama or the approach anytime soon..

Overall decent stay, and i would recommend. Keep in mind that it is an extremely basic stay marketed as a luxurious resort. The room lacked allot of really basic amenities (minimal furniture, no mini fridge, no housekeeping, no air conditioning, etc). I also wish they had disclosed that the pool was closed prior to our booking.

We were there for a family reunion and had a good time. Found the wine was horribly overpriced. I understand they need to make a profit but to sell wine worth 20.00 in the store for 85.00 is a little over the top . The dinner food and breakfast were good. Not all the pools were open.

Centralized registration located quite a distance from the actual hotel. Only hotel on the mountain so no competition. Very basic hotel at very premium pricing. Very noisy and not a place for families. As the only hotel there I wanted to try it but will not be returning. Says it has been recently renovated but I seen no evidence of any upgrades. Overall quite disappointing for the price paid.
