Beidahu China

地中海北大湖度假村真的是家庭度假的好地方。滑雪课程很适合全家一起参加，孩子们学得开心又可以有托管服务，让我们大人能够安心放松，整体服务非常贴心，让人感觉很温馨舒适。晚间活动也精彩丰富，餐厅伙食也多选择还有小火锅但要提前预约。特别感谢前台Candy 吧台Wendy,William 滑雪教练Amir Tang Tom fan 教学认真学了很多技巧！也感谢迷你具乐部的GO照顾我的孩子! 下次提早预订早鸟票来玩！ very thanks for Beidahu giving my family such a great holiday!

The most important highlight is the G.O team, amazing! You'll feel as if you have several private butlers, they do everything for you, extremely helpful. The private access /ski rental make you avoid the crowd. Room is big, shower gel and cream are good quality
The only improvement I see is the food at the restaurant, beef not good quality (but lamb /pork/fish OK) and the wine undrinkable (but cocktails are nice)
Overall definitely a place I would recommend and will return

My family and I spent an amazing holiday in this resort. It's started with a wonderful welcome from Harisson and his team, everything was perfect. The rooms were very nice and comfortable. My sons enjoyed the ski and they want to come back as soon as possible, thanks to Amir for taking care of them. Thanks also for Alisson, the meals were very good and the restaurant well managed. Special thanks to Bambi, Vivianne, and Jason to have made our holidays magic.

We arrived end of Jan during the CNY break, and had a fantastic time.

The snow condition had been great with different varieties of slopes and difficulties, the resort is right by the mountain and with great coaches. We arrived in fresh snow and amazed by how powerful the snow trucks are making even more snow.

We had a suite, the room is spacious, the bathroom especially. The resort has gym, mat area, ping pong tables and pool tables, not to mention karaoke private rooms…very Asian in this aspect!

The best is that there’s this huge onsen palace at the opposite of the resort which is a great perk and a must go!

The chef cooked great Sichuanese food, not sure if it’s to everyone’s likes, but definitely to mine. However, my English husband wished there were more varieties catered to foreigners. Other than that, he had little complain and also wishes to go back. You can have a great time there no matter if you are Chinese or foreigner.

Special shout out to Chief de village Harrison, boutique shop’s Vivian, restaurant director Roger, and snowboard coaches Aussie Tom, Jaa and Zac. We had a great time!

Above all else, you will get a different experience whether or not you can speak Mandarin Chinese. Most of the staff do not speak English, including the kids club and the ski instructors. This is my fourth club med and this Club Med (along with the others in China as I understand) are focused on the local Chinese market whereas the others that I have been to are for international travelers. The guests here were dominated by Chinese locals.

The biggest reason that I chose Club Med is for the ski lessons for my kids. They were near useless. They were put in a group of 10 (max 12), didn't speak English, and the instructors barely knew the level of any particular student, especially as the instructor often changes from day to day. This was not my experience in my previous Club Med resort. After two days, I gave up and hired a private instructor. I have posted the rates in the photos and it was not cheap, but felt that I had little choice. I also posted the ski rental rates as it can actually work out cheaper to rent onsite. I advise NOT to pre-book rentals. My initial room was also much smaller than the floorplan booked online and not what I paid for. While this was fixed shortly after check in, I do worry what would have happened if the hotel was fully booked and nothing else was available.

On the positive side, the GO was fantastic and very attentive. We went over Chinese New Year, and they had dragon dancing, fireworks, BBQ, and nightly entertainment. As far as non-skiing entertainment, I could not have asked for more. Over the holiday, the buffet was a feast, including seafood, lobster, and every roast meat I could imagine. My stomach was not big enough to eat everything that I wanted.

Beidahu as a ski resort is great and facilities are modern. As for the size, it is fair to just compare the numbers (lifts, runs) found online. If I lived closer, I would go again for the ski resort.

Great: the food, the nightly entertainment, the room. The staff make a great effort on these.
Not great: The group lessons. The price transparency.

Would I recommend this place? If you speak Mandarin Chinese and already know how to ski (i.e., don't need the group lessons), then I would say absolutely! Otherwise, it's a maybe depending on your circumstances. To be fair, it is cheaper than the Club Med in Japan or Europe.
