Ahotels Piolets Park & Spa, Soldeu

Advantages: cheap everything, great nightlife.
Disadvantages: not such good snow or terrain as the Alps.

..., though I have only ever heard Andorran people recommend Barcelona. Which brings me neatly to another thing. The language. Although Andorra is usually described as half Spanish-half French, my experience is that it's a lot more Spanish. There is also a sizeable Catalan influence, with many locals speaking this language too. So don't expect to get by on GCSE French. Andorra la Vella is Andorra's capital city, and is the place to stay if you want to meet Andorran people who have not become disenchanted with English visitors by the drunken excesses of the resorts. Most people come to Andorra to drink as much as to ski, and are based in the mountains at either Soldeu-El Tartar or Arinsal-Pal.

Disadvantages: Spa!

...I was lucky enough to win a fab competition for a stay in the Alton Towers Splash Landings Hotel, plus park entry, for 2! I went this year and decided to treat my best friend and myself to a trip to the Alton Towers Spa too. We both work in schools, and had a particularly stressful end of term, so we were really looking forward to spa especially. After checking into our hotel, we went over to the Alton Towers Hotel, where the Spa is situated, but spent the next 20 minutes trying to find the entrance for the Spa itself. The building was easy enough to find - just next to the hotel- but we could not seem to find an obvious entrance. Staff directed us outside and round the side of the building, but there were no entrances, only side doors, which were locked!
