This hotel was really a surprise. We booked late in the afternoon on the way from one place to another. It was so comfortable! It was immaculately clean and there is a nice restaurant attached as well as a cute gift shop. The items in the gift shop were unexpected and very reasonably priced. I bought a few Christmas gifts here. I would highly recommend this hotel I also want to mention the front desk clerk was as nice and friendly as she could be. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area.
Nothing.

Various little things that wer're really appreciated. Comfortable bed, room with large clean windows, bathroom comfortable with a large shower,table chairs 2 tv's. Breakfast good for its price and friendly, efficient dining room staff. Easy free parking. A special thank you to the owner who took an interest in my wife who was not well on the last night.
I prefer the easy parking they have to offer here and then going to different places nearby via car. However if you prefer to pay to leave your car in a car park or garage then leave the hotel on foot then this might be a drawback for you.

Our crossing from the UK was delayed and we arrived well after the reception had closed. However, within minutes someone was attending to us and gave us all the information we needed regarding the facilities. We were given a small tray as a welcome gift as well as a small ballotin of Leonidas chocolates. When checking out we were given a generous incentive (3 nights for the price of 2) to use on our next visit. Also, the lady in charge made us feel very, very welcomed and enquired about our well being, this despite having herself also lost a very close family member a couple of days previously. We admired her courage in ensuring her clients were fine.
There was absolutely nothing to dislike. The only thing we would have preferred would have been to have a room tab for our meals in the hotel instead of having to pay the restaurant after each meal. From our point of view, it would have been more practical.

Very friendly and welcoming staff. Paid lovely attention to details. The room itself was great and true to the pictures. It had a roof top terrasse as well as a front terrasse, especially the kids corner was well appreciated before dinner. We would definitely return again.
Bathroom could have foreseen a different shower organisation (was only a bath tub).

We had an amazing stay at the Ara Dune hotel. Upon our arrival we received a little gift from their Cosy Home shop, and a gift for our son (little cars), which we really appreciated. The rooms are very clean and well decorated. The airconditioning works well, and other facilities (play room, small living room) were great. Good breakfast. I definitely recommend staying there!

From the very first polite phone call asking how late we would arrive, to the tour on arrival, the booking for dinner and the room was all perfect. A very well run family hotel and the receptionist was great. We can’t fault it.
It was all perfect.
