The Paradiski domain access is the strongest argument for this property: 425km of runs across La Plagne and Les Arcs, all on one lift pass that's included in the rate.
Snow reliability at 2,100m is materially better than lower-altitude resorts — the season here extends reliably from December through April.
ESF instructors' insider knowledge of slope traffic patterns — which runs to take at which time — is a genuine logistical benefit beyond the coaching quality.
Cons
Room sizes reflect 1990 construction — compact by current hospitality standards, particularly for guests used to modern ski lodges.
Buffet food temperature at the serving stations is inconsistent — a specific and repeated complaint that the live cooking stations only partially address.
The main restaurant gets genuinely crowded during French school holiday weeks — timing meals carefully matters more than at less popular resorts.
Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa
Pros
Pink Gin Beach is genuinely calm and swimmable — sheltered cove geometry prevents the choppy surf that affects more exposed Caribbean beaches.
Ten restaurants for 257 rooms is a high ratio, resulting in shorter waits and more consistent kitchen quality than larger Sandals properties.
Five-minute airport transfer is among the shortest in the Sandals chain — no long bus rides after a redeye.
SkyPool suites with private infinity plunge pools are architecturally distinctive and not replicated at most other properties.
PADI scuba diving up to two dives/day is included — at $80–100 per dive externally, this adds real value for certified divers.
The property's smaller, quieter personality makes it work well for couples who want intimacy over high-energy activity.
Cons
The Sandals app reservation system is unreliable — restaurants show as fully booked while tables are available, and closures go unannounced.
"Partial ocean view" and even some "ocean view" rooms deliver disappointing sightlines — verify the specific building and floor before booking.
Summary
Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa has a higher guest rating, while Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa has more restaurants, while Club Med La Plagne 2100 is the larger property, while Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa has more dining venues, while Sandals Grenada Resort & Spa offers more activities.
Butler Elite categories represent a meaningful price jump; the value is clearest for guests who actually use 24-hour room service and prefer to delegate planning.
Beach lounger availability at the South Seas pool requires early claiming (pre-8:30 AM on busy weeks) — not ideal for late risers.
Older sections of the property show maintenance wear relative to the newer Italian village buildings.
