Pros:

Family room was very generous, spa facilities were brilliant and the pool play area was great for young kids. Location was very good, close to town and on the slopes for easy ski-in-ski-out. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Would love to come back in the future. La Plagne in general is a great resort for families and beginner skiers.

Great stay at La Plagne
Pros:

The breakfast, the dinner buffet and the spa were excellent. Location was also fantastic..

Cons:

Our room was probably one of the two worst rooms of the hotel! First floor, in front of the elevator, no balcony and the view from the window was obscured by the balcony of the room above. And it was small. And the closet was also narrow. But it was clean and cozy!
