Residence Les Constellations

We arrived after reception had closed. We found our key without issue, but spent almost an hour looking for our room. The instructions were not very clear. The rooms were OK. Great position for ski in and ski out. It is the best ski in out we have had. Bear in mind though that because you are at the top of the resort you have to get the Arpette lift to ski back to the room or face a hike up hill from the town. This is not ideal if you have absolute beginners or if the weather turns. Again it is a hike around the car park from the town to the room, a challenge with heavy bags, so worth bearing in mind. The rooms are cosy but dated and could do with a refresh. 2 of us stayed in a 6 person apartment. The bed was very uncomfortable. It was also positioned under a drafty window so you had cold air blowing on your head. There was lots of storage for clothes for 6 people and places to hang wet clothes to dry, but I think it would feel very cramped with 6 people as the living area and particularly the bathroom is very small. The water was always hot and apartment warm. The shower design is poor and floods the bathroom when you use it. The kitchen was well equipped and had plenty of crockery for 6. Toster, kettle, coffee machine, microwave oven etc. Our coffee machine had mouldy coffee in it when we arrived. The whole apartment felt like it needed a good clean to be honest. There were hardly any plug sockets in the apartment and of the small amount there were had lights plugged into them. I hired a hair dryer from reception free of charge as rooms do not come equipped with one. TV was good and had lots of channels including BBC and German channels. The apartment had fantastic views over La Plagne. It was easy to get from the ski locker room to your room and could easily pop back to the apartment for lunch. If you haven't stayed in Belle Plagne before be aware that the car park is expensive and it is very hard to get a space during busy periods. We would stay again, but have stayed in better accommodation in Belle Plagne.
