Weekend get away
Pros:

Lovely surroundings. Very clean. Bed was comfortable.

Cons:

TV is in an odd cupboard, and the doors don't open wide to extend the view of the screen. It is impossible to line the sofa up directly in front of the TV, so not very comfortable. A very odd setup

I will return, and hope the water pump noise is taken care of.
Pros:

Location was great as Vetta Spa was just a 2 minute walk away. Close to restaurants, grocery store. DSki hill just outside your back balcony.
All kitchen utensils and appliances supplied, so it was very functional as we brought our own food to cook.

Cons:

There was a clanging sound randomly through the night coming from main floor. I am assuming its a heat pump or water pump clanging. It disturbed our sleep at night. Im assuming the owner of the condos are aware of this.

This definitely our family’s new winter retreat.
Pros:

Suites were large and adjoining studio was great for extended family. Location was perfect for ski in and out and amenities such as pool, hot tub and arcade were enjoyed by all. Office and maintenance staff were amazing.

We love this place, but they could use a few more perks to make the stay more enjoyable.
Pros:

The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Cons:

There was a leak in our room. They offered for us to move to a new room, but no compensation.
The tv didn't have a working guide and there were no channels for kids as there have been in past years. There used to be movies to borrow. That was a really nice touch.
