Accommodation was good, what you expected. The food was really good, good choice, the only thing was that the la carte menu was the same all week. Pleasantly surprised by the buffet.
What it says on the tin, really good ski in/out. 4.7 out of 5.

Accommodation was good, no complaints and staff were nice and helpful. Food was amazing, and they had great stuff. Ski-in and ski out, very easy to access the slopes, no trouble there. Weather was very bad, winds were very bad, so resort was closed most of the time we were there.

Very good! One Turkish barman stood out in great way, he was very helpful. Food was good no issues at all. Ski access is very good, ski in and ski out. Bar area looks a little shabby but other than that it was great.

I’d stayed here in February and rebooked to go again in March (2024) and had a great trip.
Everything went smoothly on the holiday and the staff were amazing. Flora the reception manager was great and checked up on us during our stay. Naomi in the restaurant was really lovely too. The Chef de Village (Maxine I think) was also really good.
We pre-booked the ski hire for our trip and the equipment was really good standard. Some of the food was a bit rich for me personally, but my other friends seemed to love it all. We skied straight out from the hotel – super easy after you get your boots on.

We’ve been doing Club Med trips for the past few years and this was much the same for their service. The food was excellent. Lots of choices and some of the options changed each day. The steak was brilliant! The slopes getting out in the mornings were sometimes icy to start with, and it’s busy in the mornings as it’s the only run out from the hotel. Great location though. I would go back in future

I've been to Club Med Val Thorens Sensations twice now, and I'd happily go back many more times. Sensations is spectacular, modern and nothing like what you've seen in a ski resort before. If you are after wooden chalet vibes and open fires, then this isn't the place for you. Expect stylish surroundings, late-night dancing and gourmet food. This Club Med resort is best suited to young adults and groups looking to ski hard and party hard. As a birthday treat, we booked the hot tub and champagne experience one afternoon - which was wonderful. The hotel has ski-in ski-out access, it's a short walk to the centre of town, and you can even ski straight back from Folie Douce at the end of the day. Don't miss out on apres snacks in Epicurious!

I’d definitely go here again. It was good to have everything so well organised with the ski hire etc all in one place. Their evening events were pretty rubbish but families would probably enjoy it – it always finished at 11pm after which it turned into a bit of a party which was quite fun. The food was decent and the location was great.

The only good thing about our Club Med experience was our instructor. There was too much partying in the evening for us so I’d only recommend it to young people who wanted this kind of thing, not other couples and probably not families either.
(NB this is one of the few adult Club Meds without childcare & kids clubs etc, so not aimed at families)
The rooms were very small (bed, small en-suite shower and not much storage) and the hotel was quite old, I heard they were opening a new one nearby which is probably up and running by now.
We ate there sometimes and the food was quite good, the only thing is that all the tables are for 8 people so you have to socialise, which is alright sometimes but other times as a couple after a long day outdoors you want to be on your own.
The location of the place makes it very easy to get around as you can just ski out.
Again, really liked our instructor who was employed by Club Med, we were in the top group and he was quite adventurous, giving us a good ride and taking us off piste.
