The Belvedere is a super complex, walking will take 10 mins as it is less than a km to the gondola, but they have shuttles anyway, to walk to the town would be 20mins, but there are restaurants/bars much nearer...

re: Belvedere Holiday Club

Thanks Steve. It looks to have plenty of facilities to keep a couple of teenagers occupied that is why it stood out.

Depends exactly on what you are looking for mate, most have pools and spas, and games rooms, and computer rooms etc etc..
The nice thing with the Belvedere is its position, not to far out, but far enough for it not to be noisey, well run and well maintained.. You could opt for the Kempinski, 5 star (BG 5*) but still very good, very good facilities, posh, 2 pools, massive spa centre, tennis etc etc... but its bloody 10lv for a rakia at the bar Mad

re: Belvedere Holiday Club

Thanks Steve, I know what you mean when you say the kids should be waiting on me !!! I just thought if we had somewhere that had a pool, spa and games room with pool tables etc... it would mean we had plenty to do of an evening or if there was poor snow. Probably trying to cover too many bases as the reality is the facilities may not be used that much.

re: Belvedere Holiday Club

Hi Steve

Would you say the Belvedere is a better option then the Belmont, are they in a similar location etc...

Thanks for any help

re: Belvedere Holiday Club

The Belmont is the rear of Grand Montana, up near JJ Murphys, a 20min walk to gondola, nice as well, but the Belvedere is closer, about a 10min walk, and nearer to the town, and i would say slightly better facilities...
These hotels are on different sides of the river, about 1.5km apart.
