Cons
- the apartment is on the lower floor of the building and was obviously the stable part of the building resulting in the apartment being quite dark. There is no natural light in one bedroom or any of the toilets, shower rooms.
- sharp knives that aren’t actually sharp. Simple solution, just take a couple of your own.
- bad smell from the family shower. Disappears after use but returns.
- wasn’t as well kept as one would expect for the price. Floors throughout could do with a good scrub - you’ll get dirty socks.
- bedroom 4, with bunk beds is minuscule. Perfect for little people, not so great for 6ft teens.
Pros
- brilliant family space. The den with the tv is lovely. Nice, comfy sofas which is unusual for ski apartments. The dining area is also great. Lots of space to sit at the long table and lots of food prep space.
- very comfy beds. Bedding (which costs extra) is a bit odd. No duvet covers, just sheets.
- very warm. Heating on all the time and you can just adjust with valves. Lovely.
- boot dryer which was fab. It is super noisy and comes on at midnight. Woke me up for the first two nights. Just asked the owner who said to switch off both green switches (there are two dryers worked individually) which turns off the fan but keeps it warm.
- only a 5 min walk to the button lift
- great communication with the hosts
Village - it’s gorgeous. Proper alpine village. The button lift up to the main lift is a pain in the bum. Opens at 8.50 and the queue on our first morning was terrible. Get there early. go above it to get on the lift. The bottom half of the queue is uphill which is a nightmare on skies!!
Definitely go to the fireworks on the Wednesday. It was really, really lovely.
We had a great time in Saint Martin. The snow and pistes surrounding it are some of the best we’ve ever skied on. Would happily return.
