This was the first family ski holiday, and we picked Club Med especially for the format of the holiday and the specific holiday service they provided. Organising a family holiday is hard enough without adding skiing into the mix but the Team at Club Med Sahoro - Hokkaido nailed it! I echo a lot of what has already been said in the previous reviews. Quality and variety of the food was excellent, Ski instruction was also excellent and thoughtful (not snobby at all). Depending on your level, the runs were all achievable after tuition. We went with friends and our children were of a similar age (6 and 9 years of age). When we left them at 8:30am for ski school we didn’t see them until they returned in the afternoon at 3pm. More importantly they loved it when they came back! My son and daughter started with zero skiing experience and were both skiing confidently within 3 days. I like the way Club Med grade their ability which keeps them motivated to achieve more and more importantly, positive to achieve more. I had to remember that the majority of the Club Med G.O's were very still young adults themselves. They came and sat down at lunch (totally understand that at times that must be a bore for them depending on how they feel) and interacted with the guests. They all had excellent conversational skills and seemed like all very well rounded individuals - fantastic life skills to have and hone at such a place. The GOs also were heavily involved in the guest evening entertainment as well. Sounds cheesy but it was sincerely fun and I hope they enjoyed doing it as much as we enjoyed watching it. Great Trivia (as we won) and karaoke night. What I really liked about this Club Med resort was that it was smaller compared to other ski resorts I have been to (mostly in Europe though). They always seem hectic with everyone fighting for space and queuing for ski lifts. I know we went at the end of the season but the ‘vibe’ at this place was just right for us and our first skiing holiday… welcoming, unpretentious, relaxed. So well done to Brandon and all the team there. You did it well !!!! Thanks to all The G.O.s but the ones we mostly interacted with when we were there and want to say special thanks to are Ben (adult ski instruction), Craig (adult ski and drinking instruction) , James (kids ski instruction), Pauline (kids ski instruction), Shiho (kids organisation), Bara (Adult ski instruction), Dan G (no skiing but nice chap and good luck in Aberdeen), Dodo (kids ski instruction), Charlie (adult ski instruction), Henry (adult ski instruction), Heather (kids ski instruction) and Aya (kids ski instruction).
