  DISGUSTING

  15 Feb 2020

  We booked two apartments both were absolutely filthy and seemed to have not had a good clean in months! Dishwasher also doesn’t work and nobody at reception or answering calls Photos are completely not what you get SOLEILV8, Directeur général at Residence Soleil Vacances Les Menuires, responded to this review Dear Liesl B,We deeply apologize if our residence does not match your expectations,However, when you called us on sunday ( one day after your arrival ) we sent the housekeepers to come by with the technician right away to your appartements; and turns out the dishwasher does work and your family refused the cleaning. When guests have any problems we are always here at the front desk to listen and help them but sadly haven't seen you since saturday. Please be aware that leaving comments and sending email will not make us work any better, instead you are always welcome at the reception to tell us your complains and we wil be happy to find a solution together for the rest of your stay. Wishing you a great vacations,Best Regards,

  Misleading images, Tiny, filthy apartments

  17 Feb 2019

  We were a large group with 3 apartments. The apartments were extremely basic, and simply not clean (despite a whopping Eur90 cleaning fee). The images make the apartments look luxurious - they are not... they are like basic student accommodation. There are no double beds and the tiny singles were rock hard and extremely uncomfortable.There is only one toilet. The pool is just a little bigger than a hot tub. On the plus - location was good and ski in ski out was brilliant. Loved Les Menuires but will never in place again. SOLEILV8, Gérant at Residence Soleil Vacances Les Menuires, responded to this review Dera Kiwi_lain,Thanks for your comment, despite is not as good as i was thinking after the few talks we have together during your stay. I advice you friendly for your next trip to look at the description of the appartment before you book, to make sure things you will get, at least for beds.Kind regards;

  Christmas Family Ski trip

  28 Dec 2018

  We were a Party of eight consisting of myself, my wife and daughters aged 19 & 23 stayed in a two bed apartment also my eldest daughter her husband and two grandchildren aged 10 and 13, who stayed in single bedroom apartment. Both apartments were on the small side, but served their purpose very well, both apartments were clean, suitably furnished with kitchen area consisting of cooker.hob , sink , micro wave with grill crockery, pans and cutlery and with plenty of cupboard space, table 6 x chairs and sofa bed in the lounge area. Bedrooms had Plenty of wardrobes and a safe. The bedrooms consisted of two single beds together and were hard. Not to my taste. But that's my opinion. There are double doors leading to a balcony which does get partial sun during the day.There is a ski room but we never used it, we kept our skies and boots in the room, also there is a swimming pool, but again unable to comment because we did not use. Access to the slopes varies depending which building and floor you are in. There are three buildings 1 & 2 have good access building 3 smallest and only has four floors and access to the slopes is on the 4th floor, we were on level 1. Ground floor so we had to get the lift up to 4, across the car park then walk to access the slopes, it's a short walk up steps and stepped slope walk way to the rear of the building across a bridge, beginners would find it hard in ski boots and carrying skis. That's the negative of these apartments but in reality were good value, there is amenities consisting of a small supermarket, pizza bar, lounge bar area, sports wear shop and reception. Bed lining and towels collected at check in and extra provided if requested. Les Menuiers and three Valleys ski area is fantastic with great skiing including snow cannons if lack of real snow, Les Menuiers has everything and more cost effective than its neighbouring resorts. Les Menuiers has everything from bars , restaurants for adults, but there is safe sledging area for kids, ski school x 2 Prosneigh and ESF. Direct Access to the piste areas is simple and well provided for with fast modern chair lift Les Menuiers, Rock 2 and you can ski down to pick up other chair lifts to other areas. The pistes were well groomed, cared for with plenty of artificial snow, from many snow cannons at night time, despite having no snow which arrived before we arrived and the weather was good whilst we were there, variable with sunny days and cloudy days. My grandchildren and son in law went into ski school their first time skiing and by the end of the week were skiing red runs. The rest of us skied everywhere across to. Merible, Val Thorens, and Motteray. I would highly recommend this self cantering holiday apartments and the three Valleys ski area. We had a fun Christmas as a family SOLEILV8, Gérant at Residence Soleil Vacances Les Menuires, responded to this review Dear JeffBuxton,Thanks for the constructive answer that could give to others very important and right informations about the place and the environment. We are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay, and we really look forward to welcome you again for your next trip in Les Menuires.

  Great value and location

  15 Apr 2018

  I have stayed at this apartment twice now. The place is on the small side but has modern features which was like home from home. It is the cheapest around the area and loved that it was not just decorated with pine. Shower was poor as the head lacked spay and power. Very close to the centre and ski from door with a short walk. I felt disappointed that my shoes were either moved or stolen from the ski room before I vacated the property and the staff did very little to help find them which resulted in me having to quickly purchase new shoes. SOLEIL V, Gérant at Residence Soleil Vacances Les Menuires, responded to this review Dear jonnybroadbent1,Thank you for your comment ! Glad to read that you spent a nice time among us ! Concerning the shower, we could have fixed it if we had been aware about it, Kevin is available to fix anything wrong in the residence! We will welcome you next year with great pleasure !
