Although i did see families there, I don't know if it's the kind of place I would take my wife and kids to. For the single traveller, or a group of friends it is perfect. Mind you, house keeping only comes in once within a stay that is longer than four days. My in room jacuzzi wasn't working and there was no one to fix it, so it should have been advertised as a bath! Another key point is that checkin/checkout is done from a different hotel, on the other far side of the village.
Apart from that, the location was right next to the market place, a short (free) bus ride from the slopes or a 10 min walk through the walk way that is filled with wonderful shops and restaurants. The kitchen served us well, as did the BBQ on the balcony. The underground free parking was a great plus as were the hot tub and pool. Over all, a nice place to stay!
