Résidence Pierre & Vacances la Forêt

We loved the location of this hotel, really close walking distance to the slopes and good ski lockers. Our apartment had everything we needed apart from an oven. Our children slept on the bedroom and the beds were comfy. Us adults slept on the pull out sofa bed in the living room and while the bed with comfy the springs were very noisy and I found myself waking up constantly through the night everytime by husband moved. Other than that, we can’t complain. The apartment had lots of storage for all your cases, kit and whatnot. Would definitely stay here again. Receptionists were always friendly and polite. We were super greatful to be able to check in as soon as we arrived after a very long trip from the uk. We lucked out! Thanks for allowing us to check in early; much appreciated. See you again next year!

Really good central location, stunning views of the slopes. Two bed apartment was spacious, but I wouldn’t want to stay there with 7! There were 3 of us. The kitchen was filthy. Utensils hadn’t been cleaned - scissors had meat on them so we put everything in the dishwasher before we could use it. Our sheets were badly ripped but the friendly staff replaced them without a fuss. The apartment is basic and a little tired. The sofa covers were filthy too.

Just back from a 5 day stay here and it was brilliant. Really friendly staff, good WiFi, *great* views and excellent location. There's a ski shop and a pizza restaurant attached to the hotel but the little bar downstairs (Le Sucré Sale) was our favourite place to go. The residence is 2 minutes slow walk to the ski lifts and there's a funicular lift down to the town centre just over the road. Can't recommend it enough, really nice vibes the whole time we were there, if we come again to Flaine we'll definitely stay here.

IGNORE THE BAD REVIEWS!!!!!!!!!!!! Booked this place a year ago and we did the stupid mistakes and read the reviews so when we got here we weren’t expecting much at all but wow were we shocked! The place is massive and we’ll maintain, yes the pavements are a bit worn but that’s simply to due with the weather and the amount of people walking on them, someone said they had trouble pushing a pram ( ridiculous I have a pram and I wasn’t any trouble at all! ) the rooms were lovely and spacious, the pull out sofa bed is a bit squeaky But you get over that it was comfy and me and my partner had a lovely nights sleep on it for two weeks! Read some reviews on the food and we did originally book self catering but when we get here we upgraded straight away the food was good just basic buffet food but cooked lovely and a verity of foods to choose from. My favourite was the breakfast that was lovely. The staff and the entertainment was sooooooo good! Always something on at night and the kids clubs is really good too! My little girl was too young but I knew that before coming so i didn’t really care but from what I saw they kept the kids entertained and the kids loved them, they have a tribute night every Sunday and it’s brilliant! So funny and really well done. Only down side I would say was how far away from everything it is but they due offered a FREE bus service to the local town everyday and we had no trouble getting it. The pool doesn’t open until 10 which wasn’t really a problem for us and we also found a seat by the pool and under a brolly to keep the baby cool. Again I can’t prise the staff enough they were so nice and always greeted you with a smile whenever you needed something they were always there ready to help. There is a 200 deposit but you get that back straight away already have mine in the bank. The safe is extra €20 but don’t really need a safe just there just in case you do. The villas come with everything washing machine, dishwasher, fridge freezer bit out dated but honestly it does the job. I really don’t understand the bad reviews it’s been an amazing holiday and we have loved every single minute and we will definitely come back here again even told family that have kids about this place and they loved the look of it and the entertainment! Alex and fredo were also amazing ( the entertainment bosses )

Good basic accommodation near the slopes. We lucked in with lovely piste views. Good size for family of three (1 bed), quiet and clean if tired. Only negative was the very noticeable draft from both balcony doors. Heating needed to be on all the time to counter this.

We opted for an upgrade due to spaces available in the hotel so for an extra few hundred we had great accommodation and made up for the snow issues. Lots of space and great views from the top floor. Clean and bright and airy . Helpful Staff . Great french Restaurant -refuge skier next door . A very big problem for our family was the pool table -we booked the accommodation partly for this as we felt it would be a nice communal area and lots of pics of this on their website But you needed 2x 1 euro coins ( and it was very very hard to get change as everything paid by phone. Spent a lot of time hanging round bars and shops trying to buy small items and get 10 euros then 5 euros then 2 euros changed. The apartment reception need to get some euros from the bank to be used or provide a machine otherwise the pool table is redundant. ( important when limited snow so bored kids !!) There was also change needed for the football table so same problem Overall though would definitely return and hope to utilize the ski in ski out part when further into the season. Even so a very short walk in ski boots to the main ski area. Fantastic boulangerie within a few minutes walk went out early for baguettes and fresh croissants. I would love to come and Ski the whole of Flaine rather that the 8/9 runs that were open. The kit hired from the Ski set shop next door fell apart at a restaurant -all rusty and degraded -double check your kit if you hire from there also had lots of broken clips on offered boots !. Still a great holiday though
