Kublai Lodge, Meribel, France

Chalet VIP Kublai is Beauifully decorated and has a very homely feel. It is situated just above 1600 meters in Meribel. Meribel is outstanding and a perfect place to take the family skiing.Inside the chalet there is large dining and living room was perfect for our family. There is also an extremely large balcony which is great for soaking up the sun. Down in the basement there is a large television room which keeps the kids quiet for a while anyway.

The rooms have on suite bathrooms and are of an exellent standard.

The chalet has a chauffer service the delivered us and collected us from the slopes. Which saved our very weiry legs and a great idea.

The chalet is fully catered as you would expect and fully exceeded our expectations. The staff were very helpful and accomodating. The chalet high chairs and cots, everything we needed.

We hired private nanny Laura Berry lauraberrynanny.co.uk. Laura was the BEST nanny we have ever used. She was exceptionally diligent and trustworthy as well as being incredibly dedicated and enthusiastic, bringing her own crafts and gamesand entertaining the children with fabulous activities! She is a lovely girl, very natural and just the right person to put parents at ease,ensuring we had a great holiday too.

Overall the chalet was exellent the only thing to watch out for is the large number of steps leading up to the entrance not so good if you have pushchairs.

MNHQ UPDATE: This review relates to 2008, when Kublai was still part of VIP's chalet portfolio. VIP no longer include the chalet, but it can be booked via a number of different operators. Search online for more information and best deals.
