Any stayed in the Farandole in L2a? Have asked the resorts residents and got their feedback, but would appreciate feeedback from anyone who's actually stayed there...

nbt, I don't think it bodes anything really. A lot of snowHeads, if they go to LDA, stay at the Lutins because the PSB was there for years and people liked it and went back, or recommended it to other snowHeads who were thinking of going there. I don't think it means anywhere else is rubbish, just that not many people have stayed elsewhere .....
But I have bumped this for you so good luck!

nbt, recent reviews are pretty good, suppose it all depends on what you are paying. Sometimes you can message the reviewers for specific questions.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

nbt, that's one we do (see http://crys.tl/r2ljBk). Don't know it myself but will get you some insider info from our Product Manager, hopefully tomorrow.
**Blatant plug alert**
We do our Ski + package on this hotel which includes lift pass & ski hire/carriage and have 2 for 1 lift passes on at the moment.
(Correction: not 2 for 1 lift passes, buy one get one half price lift passes. Damn!)
Looks like prices start from around £650 pp for 7 nights depending on airport choice and dates
Hope that's helpful.
Cheers

 Not sure it would be good tactics to offer discounts to people openly on Snowheads - I am sure my PM box would be overflowing before long... However I am sure compared to other operators we will do a very good deal!

nbt, here's the update as promised from our Product Manager Richard:
"Hotel Farandole is a good hotel in a great location. Without wishing to sound like a salesman - the key sales points for me are: really close to town centre, 3-4 minutes walk to the Diable lift (red eggs), indoor pool and good food. Also a few years ago I was a rep in the area, it was an easy property to rep because customers always seemed to be happy."
Hope this is useful and let me know if we can do anything more for you.
Cheers

nbt, I was holding off as although the name is familiar I couldn't place the hotel. Obviously I haven't stayed there but given David Jarvis' reply I think I know of it. It should be a a pretty good location: near the Diable lift which is as good as any for getting up the hill, many ski schools meet at the bottom of the easy blue running down from it. Moreover, it's close to many bars and restaurants while being far enough away not to suffer from noise.
The only issue is getting back after skiing you'll either have to ski one of the blacks Diable or Y (names may have changed) or download in the red eggs but in L2A this is pretty much true of wherever you stay (ski a black or download). Personally it's not an issue but I know some people prefer to ski down.
I know quite a few people who have stayed in Crystal properties and have heard very few complaints and certainly none about this one. Most were staff issues and as you know that can be true of anywhere at any time and changes season to season.

Hi David, I'm probably doing something wrong, but I can't see how to select more than 9 adults on your website when doing a ski holiday search

You know it makes sense.

Hi Elmer,
No you're not doing something wrong, we don't book parties larger than 9 online.
