Best of a poor selection in Les Deux Alpes
Les 2 Alpes is not blessed with a wide selection of good hotels, the resort caters to the package tourist and the cheaper end of the market at that. Which is a shame because the skiing is extensive, with lots of just off piste powder if conditions are right. La Farandole purports to be a 4 star but in reality its probably a 3, the service is very freindly and helpful, the facilities are ok, there is a bus to run you to the slopes which helps because its a bit of a hike otherwise. The two areas it is let down on are the rooms, whilst they comfortable are noisy (the walls are thin and corridor noise is intrusive) and the food is not 4 star. It’s ok but I have had significantly better in 3 star french hotels. The hotel has a ski shop in the basement but the ski’s were old and range limited, you are better off going into town. Would I go back? Probably as it is the only place in Les 2 Alpes that will offer rooms for a long weekend but I would be more likley to choose another resort next time.
Traveller's tip on dining
The mountian restaurant food is dire, ski down to La Grange at the bottom of the Jandri Express, its quick to get back up again afetrwards and you can meet non skiers for lunch.

Good, except for the vegetarian food.
Nice rooms, lovely views, excellent navette service to the ski-lifts, poorer room service (having to ask for toilet rolls etc.) and the chef was not prepared to do ANYTHING AT ALL, not even a salad, for me as a vegetarian.
Traveller's tip on local attractions
A trip down to the nearby village of Venosc via the ski lift is well worthwhile - some lovely little boutiques!

Nice hotel
The hotel is very friendly and welcoming. The staff are helpful and polite and the location is perfect for the Diable ski lift. The dinner is exceptional and well worth staying half board for. My only negative note is that some of the lounge/bar furniture is really feeling its age.
