Vacancéole - Résidence Grand Massif

Nickel ❤️

Reasonable room for the price with a great view. However, if you arrive before the 5pm check in the building is locked and there is no reception which seems strange. We assume this was to save money on staffing. You have to make your own beds up - again we assume to save money. A cleaner kindly let us in and store our cases. Both receptionists were rude. Located at the end of the village next to a ski hire place which was excellent.

We are a family of 4 and stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment. The bedroom was spacious and beds were very comfortable but the sofa bed, whilst a good size, sank in the middle so really only good for 1 person. Kids didn’t mind though. Lovely view. Kitchenette good enough to cook basic on-the-hob or microwave meals. Fine for us. Tiny dishwasher (bring lots of dishtabs). Good bathrooms, lots of hot water. Lovely staff. Handy for the ski bus (orange or pink line,) though they only seem to run about every half hour. Or 8-10 minute walk to the centre. Great place to stay for families - book your restaurants ahead as only a few, they are small and they get booked up.

Half term, so this was very much a last minute booking. Availability was the main positive. Morillon is tiny and quiet. The pizza takeaway place La Puzza is lovely. Regarding Vacanceole Residence, very basic and not in a cute country style, but just basic. Was really surprised to be marched upstairs at checkout (before they would refund the deposit), to ***** bedding, and had a towel thrown on the kitchen table and told by housekeeper to “dry the clean dishes and put them where you found them”. Breakfast abysmal. Nope. Sorry it’s not an experience to remember with fondness.

Great location, staff were friendly and helpful, clean, good breakfast. Good value. Handy having ski lockers you can use at the top of the ski lift. Rooms are dated, no wifi, TV, kettle, not that these are essential and we needed but nice to have when you want to chill after a busy day

We (me and my wife) have booked a room in this apartment. We planned to arrive on Sunday (02.04.2023) and stay until 16.04.2023. A quick note: reception doesn`t work on Sundays, so they asked to transfer a deposit in advance (and we did it without any extra questions). On 02.04, before our arrival, my wife got heavily injured, she got a big fracture on her leg, and was delivered to the hospital by helicopter. Obviously, we have to cancel our journey, expecting that administrators of this hotel are human-beings, and can make us a refund. Unfortunately, that`s not the case. They refused to return the money, providing a very standard answer that the room is not refundable, and they kept it for us. But (what a surprise!) when we checked it on the next day, the room was already booked! To say it shortly: my wife is at hospital, waiting for expensive surgery, and the hotel received double profit (keep sending standard "the-room-is-not-refundable" answers. We are now preparing everything for EU commission to check the case, and you can make your own conclusions of the adequacy of the staff.

Excellent stay . Helpful staff . Great location near the ski buses

Travel from Geneva, 1 hour by shared transport, property is close to centre of village, where you can find supermarket, boulangerie, few restaurants (booking is advisable). The ski bus stop is opposite the property. The ski lift is not too far but it is just easier to take the bus.
