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.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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!!!!
