We recently spent a week at Le Coucou and all I can say is wow. The hotel is cozy and inviting, the rooms are large and the staff is kind and helpful. We stayed with our 3 children and made use of every inch of the hotel! We ate at all 3 fabulous restaurants and the bar, we used the spa and gym daily, had spa treatments, and of course, we skied! This was our first time skiing in Europe, and Méribel did not disappoint. The hotel had a perfect ski in ski out location, and even on the first day when my youngest was hesitant to ski down the blue out front they showed us how to ski across the run and jump on a lift to some green runs. The ski room was amazing, they were efficient, kind and so helpful. We arrived to our skis set up at waiting each morning and the guys were so encouraging and complimentary of the kids, they made them feel amazing! It was great to have the ski shop there also as my one sons goggles somehow broke in his hands right after seeing a new pair that he wanted! lol. Honestly the only negative I could give this hotel is its location in regards to the town. You needed to be driven to and from shops and restaurants, and with only 2 vans the wait could be a while. But they always showed up with a friendly smile so it was not that big of a deal. I guess I just didn't understand how the towns were laid out there, and had assumed they were more like aspen or vail where most things are in close proximity. We had a crazy blizzard day while we were there and the hotel arranged a car for us to take the kids to Aquamotion in Courcheval which they loved. We also did a shopping afternoon in Courcheval which was really fun. Overall Le Coucou is fabulous and you can't go wrong staying here! The staff even brought gifts for our children on Christmas which was so kind!
