Résidence Odalys Les Chalets de Puy Saint Vincent

"Nice apartment, the place was clean and well equipped. Interaction with administration was ok, free parking nearby and well positioned for access to the ski installations. All in all a nice experience, recommended."

"Went to PSV with Snowbizz last year staying at Sun Vallee. ||Honestly just pay more money and go with a high standard kid focused ski company. No idea how they win award after award, the resort is dire, the restaurants are awful all serving the same food, the boulangerie and bakers are shelves in a Spa mini mart. No chemist & the cinema was closed.||Kids entertainment is basically childcare, it's in a room in the apartment building and only a baby would find it 'entertaining'. Skiing is good, lessons for kids also good, I can't say anything negative about the snow side other than a week is more than enough with the limited choices of pistes.||The resort isn't what I would call a family resort, there was very loud music pumping until 2/3am from the pub below the apartments, lots of all male groups wandering around late night and we actually had to step over frozen pools of vomit on more than one occasion.||Accomodation was disgusting. Unclean, thick dust in many areas, filthy bedding and mattresses (blood stained!!!) old rotten carpets under kids beds and the entrance to the block was unlocked all night.||Snowbizz gave us a refund so not complaining about customer service but the product sold on recommendations, awards, Mumsnet reviews and glitzy website was not the reality.||By all means go if you want a cheap ski holiday but you get less than what you pay for, my view is save for longer & go somewhere else. It really was like Guatanemo Bay on ice, never again."

"We had a one bedroom apartment with a double bed, a sofa bed in the lounge cum kitchenette, a bathroom and toilet. We were on the 4th floor facing away from the restaurants etc. There were just 2 of us. Any more would have been snug. Yes it was simply furnished, but it was clean and comfortable (especially warm) . Ski lockers led virtually straight out to the slopes and there were plenty of bars and restaurants close by. Also there were 2 supermarkets open 8-8 (ish).||Probably not the best of alpine sites for accomplished adult only skiers, but for families it was ideal. (Not a great apres ski area.)||We went with Snowbizz, who were excellent from start to finish."

"This residence is now called Sun Vallee. ||Great location, ski in ski out, linked to the shops and restaurants in 1600. 2 minute walk to the pool. ||Apartments are basic, old furniture, etc but I expect that in ski resorts and they are well equipped and very warm. The balcony was nice too with great views. ||It would be nice if the lockers had heated boot warmers, but maybe that's expecting too much for budget accommodation. ||A couple of things could be better - one of the lifts broke while we were there, and it was days before it was fixed, meaning waiting a long time for a lift. I waited nearly 10 minutes 1 day before giving up and climbing 4 flights of stairs with heavy bags. ||The lights are on a timer and go off after about 1 minute meaning the corridors are always dark and creepy. Wifi was very patchy. ||Overall it was good value for money and we had a great holiday here."

"This was our second time at Puy, both times travelling with Snowbizz. We are a mature couple with no children however Snowbizz, who specalize in family holidays, appear to be the only "package" company going into the resort and they are very good, we flew from Manchester and were met at the airport by a Snowbizz rep. we were soon onto the coach at Turin and travelled without stopping to resort. There we were handed keys and a 7 day lift pass and were out skiing by early afternoon on the day of arrival. All the snowbizz staff are friendly and very helpfull. The appartments are basic but adequate and warm and in perfect position for "ski in ski out". We were in number 215 on the second floor, the floors are NOT carpeted and therefore the noise of the people above you is clearly heard. We must have had a family above us who let the children run around until 9 30p.m. and the noise did start to "grate" after an hour or so. We and the couple next door to us did suggest to Snowbizz that it would be better to put the older couples on the top floor and the families on the lower floors. that said it is only a minor irritation, but if you dont have children ask for the top floor of the building. The television only have BBC news 24, it would have been nice to have one or 2 english channels, perhaps take a DVD player and discs or a laptop, there is free Wi-Fi in the appartments. There is microwave but No oven as such so meals must be planned around microwave or hob cooking and No teapot, so if you enjoy a nice cup of tea pack a teapot instead of a kettle.. Taking everything into account it is not the cheapest self catering holiday but the location makes it."
