A nice hotel in a great natural setting

Our room was facing the ocean and a short walk was leading to the beach. Not really for swimming but very beautiful, especially at low tide. We did not use the pool but it was nice with lounge chairs around it. The breakfast was a nice buffet. The hotel is a 5’ drive from the picturesque harbor of La Cotiniere which has many shops and restaurants.

swimming pool

Although everything was perfect, the swimming pool was adequate but would benefit from a ramp so that elderly or handicapped people can step in more easily. At the moment, there is nothing to hold on to.

Grundsätzlich sehr schön, aber schon eher hochpreisig und man sollte wissen, dass der Strand große Steinplatten hat (je nach Ebbe und Flut) und sich eher nicht zum Baden eignet. Wunderschöne Umgebung, nettes Personal und sehr schöne Anlage. Abzug aufgrund von Preis und Strand.

Een hotel met een adembenemende ligging. Voorzien van banken en tafeltjes om optimaal te kunnen genieten. Directe toegang tot het strand. Zwembad verzorgd. Restaurant erg mooi ingericht en proper. Vriendelijke gastvrouwen. Ontbijt vers en lekker, niet erg uitgebreid maar goed. Kamer goed, proper, basiscomfort. 3 sterren meer dan waard.

Un séjour très agréable et reposant

Un accueil très agréable dans un hôtel plutôt calme avec accès direct à la plage pour une balade (pas de baignade il y a des rochers) Des installations très accessibles et un personnel très accueillant. Heureusement qu’il ne faisait pas trop chaud en revanche car il n’y a pas de Clim. En tous cas nous y avons passé un très bon séjour.
