If you like swimming in the sea, this hotel is for you! It is located directly at the beach, just walk out and swim. People are very friendly. Breakfast is tasty and you have a lot of choices. You can walk to Douarnenez. And you can find many nice places to eat in walking distance.

Parking is off site, free and 5 min walk away. Sea view suite was clean, bed comfortable, fluffy towels, outdoor jacuzzi was good but the cover didn't fit, carpet was tired and need of replacement. Spa, be prepared both men and women are required to wear swimming caps! Spa is not a 5 star, tired, rusty in places, sauna was ok but not very hot. Restaurant staff, dinner and cocktails were excellent.

Service is not as expected

We had two rooms. The location is good but the service is a bit slow and it would be nice to have more details about the use of the spa before one books the hotel. The reception needs to work more on the communication with the clients.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Unfortunately the front desk staff has an attitude, and bizarrely, apparently they lied to several guest by saying hat the restaurant was full; but when we came back in the evening, we saw the restaurant almost empty, the waiters confirmed the restaurant had not been full at all, rather the opposite. and then we witnessed another guest complaining at the front desk for the same thing, it appeared they had been lied to as well. An older man at the front desk does have a nasty attitude, and is followed by an older female colleague who does the same. The establishment is let down by run down facilities, some areas really are not clean, terrasses, bathroom screens and corners in our room, the terrasse screen..covered in bird s... fortunately we only paid for one night, so we will quickly forget this experience. The town also has an eerie feel, and the locals do not seem to value tourism here.

Chambre avec une forte odeur de poisson. Une bouche d’aération se trouvait à proximité de notre fenêtre de chambre. Pour un hôtel qui offre de la thalasso et spa, il n’y a même pas de chaussons ni de peignoir. Nous faisons un road trip et c’est l’hôtel le plus cher que nous ayons eu et le pire. Les autres qui ne sont pas des chaînes sont nettement mieux et beaucoup plus agréables et moins chers. Bref, il vaut mieux éviter.

Nous avons réservé une chambre avec le balcon, mais on nous a donné la chambre sans balcon! Nous avons tout de suite réclamé et on a changé le chambre avec un énorme balcon pas comme la photo….. cette chambre n’avait pas été achevée la nettoyage, la poubelle etait sale, il y avait des tasses et des verres dans le lavabo et il manquait des serviettes. La personnel de l’accueil est venu tout de suite et il a fait tout ce qu’il pouvait pour que nous soyons contents, merci beaucoup. Mais quand même, c’est un hôtel 4 étoiles!! C’est vraiment dommage.
