Great hotel for family ski holidays
Pros:

Great facilities in a fabulous location. Excellent food choices and very friendly staff. Would love to return.

Rooms are clean with great balcony views of the slopes on one side and Mont Blanc on the other.

The staff could not have been more helpful and more friendly.

Would definitely recommend for family ski holidays in a great resort.

Only problem I had was with the food
Pros:

Would love to see a big improvement with the food more of a selection for kids, everything else was amazing. Unfortunately there was no windows to open in our room but we could deal with that.

Great location and concept; execution could be better
Pros:

Araucaria is located in a nice spot right at the core of Plagne Centre. You can easily access by foot the main lifts (requiring a bit of walking though - it is not a pure ski in / ski out as I've experienced elsewhere). It was nicely conceptualised taking advantage of a not-so-big building but including all needed services - warm common area, spa, buffet restaurant, ski shop. However, I felt the hotel was not being managed up to the standards it was built. Service was ok but not exceptional - I do not remember a wow moment when I felt the staff went beyond what was expected. The restaurant was nicely designed, with attractive food stations, but sometimes the food was not very good. As an example, fruit choice at breakfast and dinner was very poor. We had a family room which was large enough and nicely designed but it was not very well cleaned.

Great location, lovely staff and great for families
Pros:

Had a week here with the family over the Ski Feb half term. The hotel was excellent, overall a very enjoyable stay. The location is 1 minute from the slopes with a very helpful ski shop. The hotel arranged taxi transfer for us which worked out perfectly too as the driver knew the best routes to avoid the queues. The restaurant food was very good and bar area was really nice.

Things that were great:
* Location
* Staff
* Overall quality of food
* Amenities
* Kids food
* Airport transfer

Things that could have been better:
* Rooms for 3 were a little tight but more than manageable
* There could have been a little more warm vegetables with dinner, loads of salad and fruit but hardly any veg to choose from.

Amazing hotel - minor negatives ! But positives well outweighed the negatives
Pros:

I’ll start with good points - We loved this hotel, amazing food, great staff (especially the restaurant staff) , perfect access to slope, great location to lifts. Rooms were comfortable and we had a lovely view of the slopes. Rooms were cleaned everyday . Spa was perfect , lovely to have swim and sauna after a day on the slopes. Over all - lovely hotel and we were really happy. Only 2 little negatives - the boot room was tiny , we couldn’t get a locker (not enough for hotel) so had to take skis and boots to room. Not enough hanging space on the room - the rooms are small and minimal clothes space.

Pros:

Great hotel right next to the La Plagne ski lifts with fantastic service. The hotel's own ski shop / ski rental was very convenient. All the staff were super kind and helpful. We had a wonderful stay, happy to recommend this hotel for anyone coming to La Plagne.

Hôtel presque parfait
Pros:

Très bon hôtel pour un séjour au ski. Bien placé, très propre et accueillant. Petit déjeuner varié et agréable. Chambres bien pensées. Les salles de bains sont un peu datées mais rien de grave. Ski shop pratique et personnel serviable. Espace détente agréable même si la piscine, aveugle, est assez petite et très bruyante. Réservée au plus de 12 ans pour assurer un minimum de calme, elle est régulièrement squattée par des familles avec de jeunes enfants parfois très bruyants. C’est insupportable et il faut partir.
C’est dommage car l’espace est plutôt réussi, surtout le spa et le sauna. Le bilan général reste largement positif pour cet hôtel bien adapté aux familles. On reviendra très probablement.
