  • Powderbeds arranged another great ski holiday for us. Avoriaz was the only resort in the area with any snow and despite the crowds we had a fabulous time.

  • Just on our way home after our 2nd stay at Pierres Vacances L'Amara apartments. It is still exceptional in every way. We had a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom on nearly the top floor with triple aspect commanding mountain views. We had deep blue sunny skies for the first 3 days with afternoon slushy pistes followed by fresh powder perfect snow in near complete whiteout, but the tradeoff with the weather was worth it for incredible piste andvoff piste alike. Expensive though faultless accommodation with amazing spa and pool, will dream about staying again! Highly recommended.

  • Great Accomodation. We had 2 linked appartments for a three generation holiday. Kitchen well equipped, though we could have done with some instructions for the combination oven. There was also a washing dryer machine which was great as we had a baby with us. Bread order in the morning was a real plus, and the swimming pool area was hugely popular. Children were taken to ski school by a free horse drawn sleigh every day. Would definitely recommend.

  • We have been to these apartments for four consecutive years and they are excellent. Ideal to have friends or family in different ones and so have some independence if you don’t want one larger one. The specification is great and it is the best ski in - ski out building we have found in the past thirty five years!

  • Great apartment, true doorstep skiing, especially useful with a mixed group of skiers and some variable weather. Town center better for access to Supermarket but worse for ski-in/out (its a bit flat)

  • We stayed in a 2 bed room in Amenda and it was great. Plenty of space for a family of 4. We cooked quite a few meals in. The kitchen was well equipped. Better instructions for using the oven would be good but we figured it out.
    Lovely view down into Morzine. Ski locker not too far from room. Snow wasn't good so couldn't benefit from the ski in/ski out but a great location.

  • Great location and very happy with the accommodation. We were SC and the kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment. On negative, we had our 9 month old baby with us and we requested a baby kit, this consisted of a highchair, changing mat and travel cot. But the travel cot did not have a mattress so we had to improvise.
    It was lovely getting up with the beautiful views down to Morzine.

  • Who are Powderbeds? I had not heard of them but came across them by accident on the internet.
    Well Powderbeds have proved to be an excellent agent for helping us find a great holiday. They recommended L'Amara in Avoriaz. An excellent choice. Well located for the piste in the quiet corner of Avoriaz. The quality of accommodation and service was excellent. The whole experience was made all the easier through the assistance of Jude. She helped with all of our requests which made our trip trouble free. Everything was exactly as expected. I will definitely use Powderbeds again and who knows possibly even return to L'Amara again although we generally do not return to the same resort twice.
    Big thanks to Jude and the team.

  • The L'Amara residence is truly ski in/ski out with excellent space in the lounge/kitchen for the 3 bed flat (for 6 people). Unless you want to be squashed, I would not recommend staying there with 8 people, despite how it is marketed. Everything worked well and I would consider staying there again.
    The downsides - this block of flats is on the edge of the resort, which is fine ski-wise but makes it a good 15 min walk to the centre of the resort. Also the flats do not appear to have any working ventilation, which meant that every room had condensation running down the windows and (in the case of the en-suited rooms) down the walls for most of the stay.

  • We went to L'Amara for a week on the 23rd March with our two boys (6,3) and stayed in a two bedroom apartment in the Dharma building. We were on the 7th floor and the views down the valley were incredible (on a clear day!). The standard of the apartment was superb - the best we've seen in France. The kids loved the pool and the corridors from our building to the main reception/pool building meant no dashing across the snow! We ate at Le Grand Cafe one lunchtime which was superb and had drinks at Le Lodge (our friends ordered take away pizza from there one evening). The Sherpa supermarket was around 200m away and there was also a boulangerie in La Falaise area. A great holiday in almost every way - if only we'd had more sunny days! Oh and Aquariaz is well worth a visit - our 6 year old loved it.

  • The Amara Residence Pierre et Vacances Premium was excellent accommodation and the only adverse criticism we had was that the pool and spa areas were crowded and being half term in France there were a lot of not very well behaved children and adolescents. We would suggest times for use by under 16's be limited. Also the bread and croissants service was not made known to us and we only found out about it on the day we left. Overall however we thought the accommodation and services were excellent.

  • Great apartment, spacious and clean with stunning views over the slopes! Skiing back in is fine, skiing out involves a Blue Run, so fine if you are ok with that level of skiing. Otherwise, it's an uphill trek to the slopes. We bought a sled to help carry the groceries home but the horse and sled taxis are cheap and efficient! Will definitely return!
