Guest Reviews
- Dr. Joshua (8/5): - It was an amazing view, but they give you essentially no amenities, to include toilet paper, zero napkins/paper towels, and only a couple of coffee pods. They said we should buy everything. They effectively made it right at the end.
- Julian (10/5): - Great base for a holiday
- Jonathan (10/5): Great family holiday. - We had a fantastic stay for our family ski holiday. We've stayed in other places in Avoriaz in the past and the location of L'Amara is just spot on for children. Our appointment was directly above the ski locker which was straight out onto the run. We used the pool area a couple of times and although it was quite busy, it never felt crowded. The parking was convenient and easy to access the appartment from it. The appartment itself was actually surprisingly roomy for an avoriaz appartment. We had a 2 bed one and it was plenty big enough for a family of 6, including 2 under 5's. The kitchen was well equipped. Overall, we would stay again if we returned to Avoriaz again.
- baldraven1 (4/5): Extortionate Prices - The residence and facilities are nice, the location in Avoriaz is very good but their charges for a lost Ski Locker key of 150 EURO for a key amounts to extortion there is no way that level of charge can be justified and that makes clear their attitude that their customers are nothing more than a way to get as much cash as possible.
- R8680QUstuartr (4/5): Annual ski trip - Have been coming here for years. Service is always poor however location and weather usually make it worth it. 5 star location, 1 star service. For example, sitting in bar at 4.50pm. Ask waiter for service - she points at bar. I go to bar at 5.01pm to be informed by same waiter/read that bar is now closed. Didn’t think for a minute that as we were still sat at bar that we may have liked service…….5 star……..nowhere near.
- jim_gray_york (10/5): Great apartments, you’ll struggle to find better - I’ve stayed here twice in Jan 2025 once with family once with friends Great location, easy access for a transfer straight into the basement car park It’s a bit of a stroll to any shops but for skiing it’s excellent, straight out your boot room your on the piste, although absolute beginners might find it more difficult with a green run to do The apartments are clean and tidy with plenty of space. Comfy beds, powerful showers. Enough facilities to cook TVs don’t have much English channels (but your not there for that) The crockery is really nice and plentiful but half way across the apartment not in the kitchen area The pool is warm - just but not hot Other than that all great. I would definitely recommend
- eleanore239 (10/5): Excellent location, good range of services, truly ski in and out - Excellent quality apartments. Very clean and furnished well. Kept up to date. We stayed in L’amara the very first year it opened and for 4 other years including this year. Excellent communication with the team, good services like breakfast, dinners supplied as extras. Slippers and robes supplied for adults. Kitchen very well equipped with everything you would need. Sherpa shopping centre only a 5 minute walk. 2 nice restaurants on site and the bar in the hotel lobby is nice. Spa was very nice when used of high quality and the children have used the swimming pool which is a little chilly but fun as an activity. Definitely recommend
- John (10/5): - Apartment immaculate very happy will be booking again.
- Letsbehonnest (10/5): SUMMER IN AVORIAZ // P&V - Spent one week with the familly in this residence and it was top. Apartment itself, is very clean, very well furnished and equiped, kitchen utensils (nothing is missing), very spacious, beds are confortable. Also something which is important in Avoriaz, you can park your car directly in the residence, you do not need to walk. Residence : very nice staff, warm welcome, swimming pool, hot tub, sauna Location : Indeed it is not located in the center but Avoriaz is not very big so, the center is litteraly 7 minutes walk from the residence.
- Francisco (10/5): - Property is really well designed and it is very comfortable. Facilities are outstanding.
- Ashley (10/5): - Very good hotel
- audreyfN28XS (10/5): 5 star residence - The residence and the flats are amazing. No renovation needed. It’s really 5 star residence. We just arrived and we were worried as we saw some bad review. It’s certainly one of the best in Avoriaz. Check in was good and the parking takes you right by the reception. The Spa is amazing with a pool and sauna and hammam. You can order Bakery delivered daily.
- Rebecca (10/5): - Lovely apartment hotel, set away from Main Street which is very busy and could be noisy. Staff were very helpful, medical centre and ski hire also very easy to access. Stayed in Sveta block and skied straight from boot room. 5min walk to restaurants & grocers. Bonus Spa for down days.
- Stephen (10/5): - Nice apartments and of a good size. We had a 2 bed with balcony for 2 adults, 3 kids. Although designed to sleep 6 it would be right on space. For our group or 4 adults, it’s ideal. The staff were extremely helpful and polite. The only negative I can mention, and it is minor, is that we arrived late evening and there is nowhere to get essentials. A simple welcome pack would have helped here. All in all, a great location and I would stay again.
- Chris-and-Soo (8/5): Nice Apartments with great views - Have stayed in the hotel before in 2020. The hotel complex is has a great view of the valley over Morzine if you choose one of these apartments with a balcony. Even though there was just the two of us, we chose an apartment for 4. Effectively 2 would have to sleep on the lounge fold out sofa bed, so ok for a family I expect. Our flight got delayed so we did not arrive until around 11pm. As it’s a no traffic resort, we got dropped off at the car park and then taken round in a large type of sledge towed by a caterpillar type tractor. Nice ! Check in was quick and efficient and the staff were friendly, but what we did not realise is that we were not given a key to our ski locker which caused delays in the morning, meaning we were too late to attend our first ski school lesson. Also, at check in we were not given any information about the complex, Wi-Fi, services etc so had to call reception for help in the morning. There was a QR code in the room which we should have used but not being told about this it was not clear. Not a great start to our trip. The apartment has a nice shower and separate bath. Robes for the pool were provided along with slippers. The bathroom did not have shampoo or shower gel which was a little disappointing. The lounge area had a table and chairs, sofa, and a TV. Wi-Fi worked well (able to stream Netflix) and was free, after we asked reception how to connect. The apartment itself was nice and roomy. The bed was comfortable, and the room was warm. We catered for ourselves most of the time, and the kitchen mainly had all you needed. The water tumblers were tiny, so not ideal for G&T. Dishwasher tablets were provided, but if you want to use the coffee machine you either need the capsules or if making your own buy filter bags (no cafetiere). Bread & croissants etc can be ordered the day before to save you going to the shops in the morning. Again, we were not told about this but realised during one of our trips to reception to sort out the issues above. During our stay we did realize that being adjacent to the exit was not great as noisy guests returning late a night woke us up, so a room on a higher floor would have been better. You are allocated a ski locker, which has the usual boot warmers. For some reason our locker was located on the lower boot room, even though our apartment was actually adjacent to one on our floor. Bizarre !. Both ski rooms are ski in and ski out which is great. What we did find out though is that if you attend the 9am ski school there is not enough time to ski down to the lift to take you into the town, to then ski to the ski school, so we had to walk with our skis for about 10 minutes. We could have paid for a horse and cart too. We did use the pool, and sauna which was lovely. It tended to get busy from 4pm (we were not there during half term) so arrive early if you want to get a bed and some quiet time. There was also a small gym. There was also a wellness area with paid for treatments, again we did not use these. The hotel also has a large car park, but as we were on a packaged holiday, we did not use that. There is a small bar and restaurant too. The bar did seem to be use a bit when we were though, though the restaurant always seemed quiet. There is a skiset shop opposite reception and the equipment (ski and boots) we hired were good. The shops are about a 5 min walk (Sherpa) or a larger supermarket 15 min (Carrefour). Both well stocked if you are self-catering. All in all it’s in a great location, with lovely views, and we would stay again.
- Andrew (10/5): Great for family ski trip - Very good. Pool a welcome faculty at the end of a day skiing. Sofa bed could be comfier but not a huge deal. Ability to order pastries each day really good. Great location for ski in / ski out.
- Massimo (10/5): - We loved that the flat was split level. It was much bigger than our expectation and of really great specifications.
- Amy (10/5): Best week in Avoriaz! - Loved our stay at L’Amara. Took a couple days to figure out the place. But once we did we were blown away with the organization of the place. Kids were picked up outside the hotel reception at 9am daily to go to ski school. It was a 30 second walk from the ski locker to the horse sleigh ride to ski school- amazing! The 2 restaurants were great; coffee pods from reception so easy and delicious; and ordering pastries and bread for breakfast each more was seamless. We didn’t use any of the kids nursery services but the room looked fun/cute. I think some of the other hotels / apartments to rent are more convenient if you are looking to go out more - but L’Amara was seriously perfect! We will be back next year. The one negative was the bed duvets were so thick and too hot. I wish I had taken a sheet out of the closet to use instead of the duvet.
- Batya (10/5): - Great location, spacious apartment, nice staff, parking under ground.
- Andrew (8/5): - overall very nice stay, apartment was clean and spacious. Duplex layout with bedrooms downstairs was a nice surprise and bathrooms were very nicely equipped and finished. Disappointing that bar closed at 9pm each day and no food or drink was available (not even a vending machine) on day of arrival after a late (10pm) check-in. Ability to order food to be delivered to rooms ahead of arrival would be a good additional service to offer.
- Ciaran (10/5): Family ski trip - Another amazing stay at L’Amara. Fantastic spacious apartments and an amazing pool. Looking forward to next year already
- Jon (10/5): Lovely accommodation in a prime location - Fantastic accommodation in an amazing location. Views were stunning and the apartments of a really nice quality. Only minor complaints are the pool was a bit too cold and the rooms a bit too hot.
- Gareth (10/5): -
- Helen (10/5): Love L'Amara - This was our second stay at L'Amara. Fantastic for a family stay. We had a 2 bedroom apt which was perfecrt size for the 5 of our and really comfortable beds (incl the sofa bed!) Swimming pool are is large, really clean and is perfect for unwinding with the family after a day on the slopes. Definately considering booking a third year in a row for 2021 Another huge plus for us is if you get a private transfer, you get dropped off in the hotel's underground carpark just below reception. Its the only hotel in Avoriaz you can get dropped straight to the door (i think)
- Verified traveler (8/5): - All good except We were on the ground floor so there was noise from outside at night
- Verified traveler (6/5): - This property has most of what you need in a ski resort. Ski in / out is fine but the waiting times to check in and out and and ask basic questions is horrific. Sure, it was peak season but each check in procedure seemed to take an eternity. Something should be done to speed up the process. Also, staff were not clued up on somematters which you’d think would be bread and butter to such a ski-centric property. For example, when asked where one may obtain a lift-pass (previously available from a computer in the lobby), the member of staff at the front desk wasn’t sure at all... suggesting with clear doubt in her mind that passes could probably be bought in town. The walk to the main ticket kiosk is a good 15mins up and down hill but there turned out to be an additional ticket office about half the way there up some stairs opposite the bakery. Again, it just wasn’t clear at all. Also, no information was given about the new location for breakfast which has moved from the bar to Le Grand Cafe across the way. No introduction was offered as to the hotel’s various amenities such as the spa or opening times and guests are generally left to fend for themselves.
- Hadar (4/5): Be ready to pay much more extras! - The family apartment was big and comfort. But we recieved only two small shampoo bottles for 5 persons for two nights, we had to pay 20 Euros for parking, we had to pay 5 Euros for loosing a simple plastic key (which in all hotels in the world you do not need to return), no breakfast included, no tea, coffee or milk in the room. The hotel outside look very old. The inside is fine.
- daniel (10/5): best hotel in Avoriaz - ski in ski out, perfect location please be aware the Jacuzzi is extra charge
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean and nice. Plan to come back in the winter to ski. Thanks
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Ski in ski out and a great pool & sauna facilities for after skiing.
- steven (6/5): Still awaiting refund! - We had an unfortunate experience due to the room we were assigned, also being assigned to another family and my wire was rudely awakened by the arrival into the room by the other family. The matter was resolved by PV during our stay who agreed to refund €250 made via Hotels.com but 3 weeks later I have not seen any credit and no easy way to contact Hotels.com to enquire!
- Sally (10/5): - Good space for a family. Supermarkets a bit limited.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice spa, pool, gym, sauna, and steam rooms. Good location for ski rentals, slopes, and supermarche. However, given the 10min walk to Festival and local restaurants, it would be nice if the bar stayed open longer (430pm-9pm), and if there was access to food in the hotel. Otherwise a very pleasant stay!
- Kieren (10/5): Family ski trip - Ideal place for a family ski trip. The hotel kids club is a bargain at 100 Euros for they accept are 3 year olds, so for our two year old we used the local nanny service. The ski in ski out is ideal. The hotel is five minutes from the ESF ski school and kids get collected in the mornings by a horse and cart. For younger children it is advisable for an adult to follow the chidden around to help getting them off, skis on and into the ESF. We will definitely go again.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Location is great and the accommodation size was perfect for a family of four. However, the cleainess left a lot to be desired, the internet did not work most of the time, and the breakfast was not worth the money. The staff, however, were friendly amd helpful throughout our stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The underground corridors to connect the residence to the reception and spa was great. Location of the ski hire shop and boot room made everything hassle free.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very nice room and facilities, ski in and out but a little far from the village
- Julia (10/5): Perfect! - Booked at the very last minute after a change in holiday plans. Best decision ever! Beautiful apartment, resort was great and kids voted it the best part of the trip around Europe. Wonderful views, friendly and helpful staff and great facilities. We will definitely be back.
- Leanna (10/5): - The hotel was in a beautiful location. We had a stunning view of the mountains. The apartment was so spacious and comfortable. The only drawback is that it is in a smaller village with fewer restaurants than Morzine, but it was so worth it to be able to hike right outside our door. We can't wait to go back!
- Steven (6/5): Disappointed - All would have been great except when we arrived to check in we were told that restaurants, kids area, stores were closed as the resort/hotel was closing the following day for the end of the season. No where during the booking process was this info posted, which it clearly should have been because of resorts isolated location. The reason we booked this place were the various child related activities that were supposedly available so we were greatly disappointed, not to mention that we struggled to find adequate dinning and provisions onsite.
- Jonathan (10/5): Ski in ski out 5 star quality - Beautiful modern equipped hotel. Fantastic facilities including spa and pool. Stunning apartments and some incredible mountain views. Highly recommend the Bistro restaurant.
- Wil Al (10/5): - Excellent base for a ski holiday. Would definitely stay again.
- Gary (8/5): - This is a great place to stay in Avoriaz. Most of the other accomodation in the area is of much lower quality. Ski-in, Ski-out, as advertised. Good ski lockers too, which is important. The room was good. Note that although it could sleep six, that involves two on the sofa bed. We were a group of five and it was fine. Fixtures, fittings and so on were all good quality and working fine. Shared facilities include a pool, spa and underground car park. Special thanks to the staff who allowed my to charge my electric car whilst staying on one of their 'industrial' sockets - much appreciated. Not so good is the bar, which is not open all day and closes at 8pm. Also, we were overcharged on checkout for some pastries we'd not ordered -- I did not expect 20 minutes of arguing before this was taken off the bill. Another problem was the phone and internet went down two days into the visit for the rest of the week. If it is essential you are 'online' for work when you are here, you need a backup plan. Even when working the wifi is dreadful at peak times. We've been to the L'Amara before and I suspect we will go back for a third visit. It is in the quiet end of Avoiraz, if you're looking for banging nightlife on your doorstep look elsewhere. But as a family this is ideal.
- Alison (10/5): Spacious and warm - Great apartment. Very well equipped and comfortable. Very warm. Location is good for ski in and out though it is a 10 minute walk to the centre of the resort. In the immediate area there are 2 restaurants which are ok but expensive. The swimming pool was excellent and the water warm. Check in and out was slow. The underground car park was great. No need to drag your luggage through the resort. Overall highly recommended.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Lovely hotel, excellent resort! - Fantastic hotel, lovely views and great weather (great value for a summer stay, but expensive during the skiing season) - very different in the summer, but just as beautiful! Only down side was Avoriaz was very quiet, but Morzine is extremely close and there was definitely plenty to do there!!!
- karin (10/5): Amazing Resort Hotel in the French Alps! - The resort city of Avoriaz is magical! The hotel resort is on the top of the mountain. This particular resort is FABULOUS!!! We had a 2 bedroom apartment with a kitchen, living room, dining area, large patio with dining table and chairs on 2 floors! There was a separate room with toilet on each floor, and a bathroom with a bath tub/shower, and another bathroom with a shower! The resort is new, clean, and modern. The staff are friendly, helpful, and spoke English beautifully. We went in the summer and had so much to do! This area is known for bike riding and mountain bike riding, mountain running, and hiking. We would take a tram or ski lift to a little village, hike for an hour to another ski lift to go to another area.. etc. In the winter it is a ski area. This place is a FIND!!!!
- Verified traveler (10/5): One of the most amazing locations in Europe - A coffee on the balcony overlooking the alps, is one of those life experiences!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice in summer - Lovely apartment block situated in a fantastic location.
- Ann-Marie (10/5): Beautiful views of the mountains - Comfortable apartment with balcony, good beds and linen. Nice bathrooms.
- stevie (10/5): Ski in ski out Avoriaz apartments - Easy check in, cracking 8th floor room, duplex sleep 6 apartment, views over Morzine.would stay here again for sure
- ROMEY (8/5): Fantastic 5 star apartment with 5 star staff - Lovely luxury resort, great apartment with all the facilities you need, underground parking, chargable, hot shower, comfortable bed, balcony, sauna, steam room, indoor pool, great equipped kitchen but best of all for this time of year was ski in & ski out. We stayed here in July & booked for January requesting a different apartment which we were shown however when we got there they couldn't give us it and only had the same apartment we had in July. It was a great apartment and easy for our dog who ended up being very ill & we had to leave early, much to our disappointment, however the staff on reception couldn't have been nicer & did everything to help us. They waived the dog charge and the parking. Fantastic resort and definitely will return.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great hotel in mountauns - Great hotel in mountain resort of avoriaz. Rooms spacious, clean with mini kitchen. Check in was easy. Bar in hotel closes a little early at 8.30pm. Good facilities and great restaurants on site. 10 min walk into centre of avoriaz where there's plenty choice of eating places.
- Kirstie (10/5): Excellent hotel, facilities and staff! - An amazing family ski holiday at this beautiful accommodation and resort! 5* The staff couldn't do enough to help... Excellent!
- steven (10/5): Great location, stunning views, friendly staff - Nice hotel. Very helpful staff. Rooms were large and had breathtaking views. Bit of a walk to the shops but it's at the quiet end of town which is much nicer. This is a truly ski in/ski out location. Also one of the few (the only ?) hotel where cars can reach the hotel (via underground car park) which saves dragging luggage through the snow to your hotel. Free wifi welcome. Unfortunately the English channels on TV wouldn't work but they loaned us free DVDs for the kids to watch in the evening. Only other drawbacks were that dishwasher probably needed a service and the sofa bed was uncomfortable when used as a sofa as the cushions kept sliding off. However these were minor points and would definitely come back again.
- Will (10/5): Good hotel - Really enjoyable stay. Great facilities and location. It seems wrong to criticise as we had a great time but there were a couple of annoyances; 1.I rang to beforehand to enquire about parking, and it wasn't very clear that we could beneath the hotel at cost. We ended up paying for indoor parking elsewhere. 2. We picked the hotel due to the spa, and particularly the outdoor Jacuzzi. We presumed the outdoor Jacuzzi would be free and part of the hotel cost (which was more than comparable hotels). It actually cost us and extra 21 euros each. 3. There was a lovely bar/ sitting/ reception area. Unfortunately the bar was closed by 7.00 each night so we never got to have a drink.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great views, great ski out functionality - Kind of isolated, kind of hard to get to in the first place--but awesome once you're there. Great on site services, great staff, great rooms, right on top of the slopes.
- Graeme (8/5): great base for family ski trip - Much better than the more basic pierre apartments in avoriaz
- Vano (8/5): Comfortable hotel right off the slopes - Very comfortable clean hotel with good facilities and you can ski right on and off the slopes. Swimming pool was fun for the kids too. Overall a great place to stay with family.
- Leigh (10/5): Family Ski Trip - Fantastic hotel and the rooms were amazing with everything we needed to make our stay very comfortable. Great location for the ski slopes however it's a good 15 minute walk away from the main centre of Avoriaz which with children wasn't easy. For €20 return you can book transport from reception however there was enough to keep us occupied in Amara for the week. There are about 6 restaurants in the area and a small supermarket but no real bars to speak of so après ski was limited. We booked the 2 bedroom apartment which had 2 bathrooms, good size living space and a fully equipped kitchen. The rooms were very clean when we arrived and everything worked. The skiing in Avoriaz was extensive and links to the PdS ski area were well marked and easy to navigate. If you are a competent skier I would recommend the full area lift pass however if you’re not then there's more than enough skiing in Avoriaz. We used Le Village des Enfants ski school for the kids who are based in Avoriaz however they do collect the children from the hotel every morning. There's 2 Skiset shops right outside the hotel which was handy.
- Francesca (10/5): Lovely accommodation in a Great location! - This accommodation was a great find, we had beautiful views over the Morzine valley from the balcony. It was in the sleepier part of the resort but only 5 mins walk into the busier part. The staff were very helpful and informative, nothing was too much trouble. The 2 bedroom apartment we had was perfect and very spacious, we were a party of 4, if there had of been 5/6 people we would have needed a 3 bedroom otherwise the lounge/dining area needs to be slept in. It was on the whole mostly clean but the bedroom was sooooo warm; the window in one of the rooms did not open in the same way as the other room, it just 'flapped' and did not lock into place! Not a fan either of the continental square pillows! The spa/sauna and hammam was a welcome treat after a day on the slopes if only the pool was a warm as the bedrooms! Overall taking away the nit picking, it was a fabulous accommodation and we will be back!
