Reviewer Type: Family With Children

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Explore Active life is in a good location, it offers good dining & breakfast. Make sure if you book a room its the Japanese rooms, not the double rooms (they are so small & tight with absolutely no hanging space of space at all for that matter)

Negative: I have stayed at different Active Life hotels in Madarao many times over the past decade, {The Original Active life opposite the Burger place, Hakken which they have sold, and Explore twice). Sorry to say but it seems to me that the owners are not interested in spending money which could make these places much more enjoyable with greater service & facilities. For instance 8 years ago the original Active Life has the main entry covered with a wall of snow so access is down & up the hill via a side entry. It was still covered this year, there could be a valid reason but keeping your main entry clear so guests don't have a treacherous walk up a hill would be a good thing. Active life Explore had some lifts that were broken when they acquired the property in 2024, the solution has been to cover them up with artwork so stairs are the only option. There is an access to the ski fields below the property, that used to provide direct ski out to the slopes, you now have a 200mtr uphill/downhill walk to & from the ski field, with a little effort it would not be hard to make this operational. They have a great bar/lounge area which i really enjoyed in 2024 where they played extreme ski/snowboard footage on a big screen, it was a great place to unwind, relax, & meet fellow guests. However this 2025 ski season the young bar operator seemed more intent on playing his own personal music preference at such a deafening volume that you could not hear yourself talk, hence every night the bar was empty. In all Active Life's with the exception of Hakken, the owner seems to have a preference for employing young travellers whose main focus is on their own holiday rather than providing professional customer service for guests (who pay hard earned dollars).

Summary: Would choose not stay at any Active life again unless they commit to improvements for paying guests
