Alejandro was GREAT! He gave us a lot of information in advance and did everything to make our stay work our for the best. The photos of the apartment are accurate. Just imagine that all the rooms are quite close to each other - it's a small cozy ski apartment built to maximize space. The master bedroom is comfortable. The kitchen is small and very well equipped with all the right appliances. The bathroom is also small but the shower works great. There's a second toilet, which helps (and where we left our ski boots). The second bedroom is small, just fits the two bed-bunks and an armoire, but the kids loved it (we had two kids staying, not sure how it would have worked with four...). The living room is super comfortable for relaxing and includes direct TV, which is a bit of a luxury in the mountains. The apartment is almost too warm, we actually turned off the heating and there are lots of extra comforters. And the BEST is the view: all rooms have huge windows that look directly out to the ski slopes and mountains. Amazing! The apartment was really perfect for four, clean, cozy and very inviting after skiing all day.

There is ski rental in the building and lockers to leave your skis. You can ski directly to the slopes, about 100 meters from the building. The building also has a heated pool which we loved having after a day of skiing. There is a small grocery store with the basics (Alejandro recommended us to do our grocery shopping in the city, which we did and was good advice!). The only setback was the restaurante, they only served two dishes a day that the kids didn't like so we had to cook every evening. El Colorado is a small ski resort that we really really enjoyed, from the kids that were just starting to my boyfriend that is an advanced skier. We were delighted with the week, with the apartment, and with Alejandro. A definite recommendation!
