Can't decide between two chalet hotels - anyone been to the Alba or Mariandre?

We have decided that a fourth time in La Ros would be once too many and it is time to try somewhere different (have been to St Anton and Montchavin as well).

Would like to try a chalet hotel this time and the Alba and Mariandre both look good from a point of view of being close to the slopes. Has anyone been recently and what's the skiing like?

Also does anyone know if there is still a bit more choice of food at the chalet hotels for the children's meals? Last year's brochure says the children get a choice but this yr's doesn't mention it. Two of my three are picky eaters and the odds of success are a bit better with a choice of two meals...

we went to the alba 2 years ago and it was nice. very good location for skiing just over the road from le rond and there is a nice bar tyher too. Not such a good location for the centre of meribel
Not sure about choice for tea we has a choice last year

hopeful bump - has anyone else been? The Alba is more than £500 more expensive (lift pass is dearer as well as accommodation) so would be great to hear more views.
