Testimonials
"Just to say Andorra completely exceeded our expectations and the skiing and hotel were both brilliant for a bunch of lads looking for hearty food, cheap beer and a good ski area. Everyone had a brilliant time and commented how well organised it was which is down to you guys. It all ran smoothly from transfers on the comfy private bus to ski passes being at the hotel to waiting for us. It worked especially well that the hotel breakfast and dinner were buffet style which meant everyone could keep going up until they were full. The beer was also seriously cheap. Thanks again for all your efforts. There was one happy group at the end of the week."
B Boyles, Pas de la Casa, 2nd March 2017
"Stag was fab thanks. All the boys had a great time & the slopes were perfect. Accommodation was as expected for the money we paid so no complaints. Everything that was planned worked so we were all happy."
J Clutterbuck, Pas de la Casa, 2nd March 2017
"Thanks so much for helping organise the Stag. You certainly made it less stressful for me. You were always very helpful and pleased to be of assistance. The level of detail you went into was great and I appreciate we had a lot of back and forth so thanks for bearing with me and being patient. In terms of the actual stag - it was great as well. The nightlife was good - a decent amount of choice available for bars and restaurants etc so that was great. It was also very reasonable out on resort for beer and food. All in all a great holiday and the boys were pretty impressed as well. I'd therefore recommend you to others if they were organising a ski trip. Thanks again."
A Ward, Pas de la Casa, 19th January 2017
"We had a fantastic time in Pas last week thank you. Everything went well. The hotel we stayed in was a hotel that my wife and I had stayed at the last time we went to Pas, so we knew its location. We were greeted by friendly staff, the rooms were fine and had all we required, and they were cleaned every day. The location of the hotel Parma suited us, and was near to the slopes, shops and eating and drinking establishments :-) The food provided by the hotel itself was of a good standard, and there was plenty of choice and quantity on both the breakfasts and evening meals. The ski passes were ready and waiting for us on the Sunday night we arrived, so we had them ready for the next morning to ski and board. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, and the transfer back to the airport was there on time with no problems. In general - a good time had by all."
T Prescott, Pas de la Casa, 3rd April 2016
"Finally recovered and back to reality with a bang! I can't believe how much we enjoyed ski'ing, the resort exceeded my expectations and the whole package worked very well. We were so impressed with your service and what Amigo had to offer at such a good price, we would like to book through you next year!"
