  Just returned from Poiana Brasov.
  I would heartily recommend this resort to beginners and low intermediates. The quality of the instruction is excellent and the nursery slope is separated from the main short slope.
  Beginners soon move on to the more challenging slope, progressing in steps until they are able to take on the full slope using the button lift.
  Conditions permitting, just about everyone will get to go up the mountain by the end of the week to ski down the picturesque blues and maybe even the reds!
  The scenery is staggeringly beautiful if you are lucky enough to have snow, do not forget your camera!
  We stayed at the hotel Bradul, part of the ANA hotel complex. the rooms were excellent, food good, service good.
  All in all, fantastic value for money for your learn to ski or intemediate holiday.

  A friend of mine recommended this place not only for the beauty of the scenery but also for the surrounding areas. The Brasov break was nice when it came to slopes and scenery but it was amazing when it came to visiting the area. A must-do is visiting Sinaia, Busteni, Breaza and going to the 2000m plateau from Sinaia or Busteni. So if you want more than just a ski/snowboard trip I'd definately recommend this resort..

  Went to Poiana Brasov in Jan 2006, we were a varied group from advanced to complete beginners. It was an amazing holiday so much so we have booked for next year! The ski school was fantastic, top instructors willing to spend time with you and of course have a laugh. It was incredible value for money in every way. We stayed in the Hotel Sport, the rooms were comfortable, the shower was brill and the baths were ideal for a nice soak after a day on the slopes. The weekends are bustling and the bars are all really friendly; you'll find many of the instructors wanting to show you round! To anyone thinking about going - do it and those that have booked, hope you have as good a time as we did! If you are all inclusive try the cherry liquor with coke, its delish, the beers not half bad either!

  Excellent night life with very good restaurants. Don't miss Sura Dacilor, Vanatorul, Coliba Haiducilor. Skiing conditions are great but the slopes are limited. Queues at the lifts are long on weekends.
  I took my wife to the ski-school and the instructor was a nice guy form the Olympic team.
  Highly recommended for mixed couple where only one wants to ski.

  My wife took me here for our first ski trip together in Jan 2005, had a great time, excellent skiing for beginers, people are very friendly.
  Took a trip to Dracula's castle which was quite an adventure and well recommended.
  stayed in the Ana Sport hotel and thoroughly enjoyed it, well worth the all inclusive price
  great snow conditions although if your an expert the skiing is limited
  looking forward to going back soon!!!!! I hope

  Went to Poiana Brasov in Jan 05. We are all beginners and we all tried snowboarding, it was excellent. Great value for money esp. if you want to try skiing or boarding. We are all going back in Jan 06 with my son's friends this time as they want to try boarding. The snow was great and the night life was good enough for me with free booze all incl. in the price. Shopping was ok with loads of little market stalls wherever you went. A good place to learn.

  Visited Brasov Feb 2005, and found the resort to be far too small for my liking. The runs were very limited and I would not recommend the resort to anyone other than complete beginner, however if you are an experienced boarder/skier the off-piste in the woods was quite good, although easy to get lost. The snow was ok higher up the mountain but was very patchy down below. The lift queues were very long and one could regularly spend half an hour before reaching the gondolas. Overall, if you’ve been before go elsewhere.

  Went to Poiana Brasov in January 2004. The snow conditions were excellent. The runs are probably limited for more advanced skiers but I wasn't and they were fine. Ski school was particular good, friendly and patient instructors. The nightlife is fairly quiet but beer is cheap and a trip into nearby Brasov is well worthwhile

  There can be no better place for value for money. It is said that the there isn't the variety of rune that one would get in the Alps, however, the terrain can be very challenging even for experienced skiers.
  Friendly and informal with everything you could want in Brasov nearby.
