Résidence Prestige Odalys La Cascade - Les Epinettes

Vaujany

I thought I'd share my recent experience.

Positives:
 - Location couldn't be better. You cross a road then you're on back to back cable cars to near the top of the mountain. 
 - Friendly and helpful staff
 - Decent size of apartment with nice views
 - Good facilities with ski storage, pool, sauna and steam room

Negatives:
 - There was very little in the apartment when we arrived. Just a small sponge and small sachet of washing up liquid. No tea towel for drying dishes (we used a hand towel). No salt, pepper, or oil for cooking. I know this is self catering, but surely previous guests have left this stuff behind? I know we did. So what's the harm in leaving it for the next guests. 
 - The apartment isn't really set up for cooking. There's 2 electric rings and no oven.  There's not really any area for food preparation. So it makes it hard (and limiting) to cook. 
 - We had to clean the apartment ourselves at the end of the trip and leave by 10am. I'm sure it said this somewhere in the terms and conditions. Just we weren't aware of this before we arrived. 
 - Our apartment didn't get lots of natural light as the glass door was at one end and there was a balcony above our balcony. Also, the light bulbs were in the middle of the room so the area where the sofa was was really poorly lit in the evenings. 
 - Small detail, but the sauna really wasn't very hot, then it turned off about half an hour before closing time. And it was only open from about 4-7pm in the evening. 
 - I'm not sure if it's the fault of the apartments, but the pictures we were shown were a different apartment to the one we received. We thought we were getting a separate bedroom to sleep in as a couple, but the separate bedroom was bunk beds. So we slept in the living room next to a buzzing fridge. Just the bed sunk in the middle so we were falling into each other so I ended up sleeping on one of the single mattresses on the floor (as I'm tall so the bunk beds were too short for me).

So would we return? It's likely we would given the location and facilities. But some of the negatives left a lingering impression.

Perfect location, but room for improvement elsewhere

The location of the place next to the lifts and on the Vaujany hillside was good.
We had 3 rooms and the 4* for UK guests was a little different to our expectations. I didn't check in myself, my group were given towels and bed sheets in plastic bags at reception to dress the beds ourselves. There was also a clause to fully clean the apartment on departure. Upon checkout you need to strip the bedding and towels and return to reception. If this is normal, then this is not negative, just unexpected.

The room had kitchenette with appliances, two showers, one separate toilet, basic but ample for the purpose. The cleanliness I guess would be at the level of the previous guest so might be pot luck!

The facilities of common room with pool table and few amusement machines was good (not used by us) the pool , sauna and steam room (not working on our stay) was decent enough. You needed to use your room towels and it was not manned.

Parking is on the road outside, a little steep pathways but for a alpine location its expected.
