Village Club MMV les Mélèzes

This was our second stay at this hotel having skied at les arcs since 2018. Our first visit was great and this year was too. Rooms are basic but have everything we needed and the WiFi is free. We didnt have any noise problems in the room either on this visit or last year. We had half board and found the breakfast and dinner options to be really wide ranging, especially as we're vegetarian and there were still many options. You can ask to take a packed lunch to the slopes and they provide you with the food and a tin to put it in. Wine was free with dinner and was much nicer than expected for a freebie. The staff were friendly and helpful and speak excellent English, we'll be back next year, thanks for another fab week in Arc 2000

I went with my son for a week during UK school Feb half term, Half Board booking with Crystal Ski. Mostly a very good experience. Son loved it, I thought it was very good. We're both hoping to go back to Les Arcs and would stay again! Lots of good stuff.. - We arrived late, around 10pm there was still some hot and cold food available from the buffet - Staff were all friendly. Both restaurant and reception. - Breakfast was excellent. We filled both filled up for the day and mostly just had snacks on the slopes. - View from the restaurant was fantastic, every morning looking out toward Mont Blanc. - Asked a few resort questions at reception, all well answered and friendly - Location is excellent. Just a couple of mins from slopes and about 5 mins from Ski school - Rooms were clean an tidy - Evening meals excellent considering it's almost all buffet. The free wine was a a very nice surprise. Meat (lamb and steak) served very rare, I like mine medium or well done. This was a me problem not a restaurant problem though. When in Rome, etc. - Our twin room was at the back of the hotel so probably one of less attractive views, but still very good to look out over the Lanchettes lift and Aguille Rouge. No balcony but didn't expect one. - Some good, enthusiastic kids entertainment in the bar - Place to leave baggage and have a shower if staying for a bit after checkout on last day. - Restaurant was busy but breakfast and dinner but very well run and we never had a problem with wait times for being seated or accessing food The ok - Room was basic but a decent size. - Shower had decent hot water and was powerful - No kettle. Not sure why I expected one to be there but there wasn't. - I saw a few reviews saying lifts were a problem. All fine for us. - I found the bed uncomfortable, son thought his was great - Ski locker room was OK but a bit small for the number of people The small niggles - Couldn't get the towel rail to work. I think it was faulty but there was always a chance it was my own stupidity. Reported twice to reception but nothing seemed to happen. Didn't really affect us. Towels were changed a couple of time during the week. - Only a couple of coat hangers were available on the rail - Room did have quite a 'lived in' smell. I expect it's all the sweaty ski socks, etc. Overall, if you don't expect luxury I think it's great. Main impression I got was it has a very good, family friendly feel. Very homely for a big hotel.

Generally really nice hotel. Lovely staff, very helpful. Food good and loads of choice, always salads and a few choices for main courses plus veggie options. You could come down anytime and there was always plenty. Would be great if there wasnt cream or cheese in so many dishes but hey i guess thats just France! (Im dairy intolerant!!). If you go all inclusive lunch was great too. Wine very drinkable you can have as much as you want with lunch and dinner. If you wanted a pack up you can request a box each day and make your own sandwiches or salad from the sandwich bar each day. Afternoon tea cakes also available. We got in late at 10 and there was a buffet laid out for late arrivals which was lovely. We went as a family group (no kids) Rooms good and warm, a couple of the mattresses were not straight making sleeping uncomfortable for a couple of my family ie collapsed to the side or in the middle but other than, basic but nice and clean. Would have liked either a kettle or access to hot water as there was nothing the rest of the day once breakfast closed, only buying tea or coffee in the bar! Spa nice, you get free access a few evenings and daytimes if you want, book in advance but we always got in. Sauna, steam and jacuzzi available. Ignore other reviews re lifts as there are 3 and all were fine, not crowded at all plus there are stairs available if you want them! If you've got children there was entertainment every evening for them plus stuff like ice creams available with meals. (For adults too). Would definitely visit here again. Thanks for a great stay.
