I have recently returned from a one week stay at this hotel as part of a package holiday with Crystal. The reception team made us feel very welcome and offered refreshments while we checked in. The furniture, decor and finshing touches are impeccable, I especially loved the light fittings, so stylish! This continued to our room on the second floor. Although our room was a little on the small side, it was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. We had a balcony overlooking the end of a blue run and the main squaure. You really can't fault the location! It was cleaned everyday and there was a turn down service too, we often came back to find sweet treats had been left for us. We stayed on a half board basis and the food was very good. There's a good choice at breakfast, though a lot of the options are bread/cake based. You can order omlettes or poached eggs from the kitchen though and there was always bacon and scrambled eggs available at the buffet. For dinner, we were given an a la carte menu and could choose a starter, main and dessert every night as part of our package. We found the menu stayed the same all week, with the exception of a daily special, usually a different soup, fish of the day and special dessert. A few dishes also required the payment of a supplement. If you weren't willing to try everything on the menu and/or pay supplements, the menu could become a bit repetitive, but we were happy to try everything and were not dissappointed! The pork rib sharing dish was a particular highlight and every single dessert was amazing! There was also an amouse bouche and bread basket served at the start of every meal and petit fours at the end... we felt it was excellent value for money. If you like an easy drinking red wine, the cote du rhone was lovely and only 6 euro per glass. The tap water is also very good and our carafe was kept topped up without asking, this was much appreciated after a busy day on the slopes! All of the staff in the restaurant were attentive and friendly. It is also worth noting that you can visit restaurants at the sister hotel next door (Hotel Val Thorens) using your half board allowance. I had a fab steak at the Val Thoren bistro but sadly we didn't get round to trying the Fondue restaurant, I really wish we had! We visited the hotel spa a few times, unfortunately the steam room was not working for the first few days, which meant the sauna got a bit too busy for my liking but later in the week when both were working it felt less busy and was more enjoyable. The bar in the hotel was OK, a bit pricey (55 euros for a brandy!) but we did enjoy the live music, just a shame it wasn't a bit busier. The boot room was very convenient with easy access to the slopes. All in all we very much enjoyed our time at this hotel and would happily return!
