An amazing suite for our family. Enough space for the 4 of us (children 11 and 13) - no compromise for the children as they didn't have to share a room with us or a sofa bed with each other :) The staff were so friendly and helpful particularly on the last day when we had left it late to book a taxi (we did actually make the train to Paris, hurray!) The room and pool and breakfast (we took it 2 days out of 5) were real luxuries.
Breakfast felt slightly expensive especially as child discount not available for our 11 and 13 year olds. We compromised by taking it only on our first and last day and enjoyed freshly baked pastries from the nearby supermarket other days. Maybe there could be a deal to include breakfast at a reduced price if taken every day?

This is a charming and very pretty hotel. Julien was really kind and helpful, our flight changed to an earlier time so we arrived at lunchtime the weather was really hot and sunny so he offered to store our bags and gave us 2 towels to go and sit by and use the pool, about an hour later he came to tell us our room was ready and he had taken our bags through. He spoke really good English too. The next morning we hadn't booked breakfast but we were welcomed all the same and enjoyed a really good choice of buffet breakfast and sat out on the pretty patio.
There was nothing at all to not like from the moment we arrived Julien was so helpful and nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff.

Very comfortable, spotlessly clean hotel with very friendly and helpful staff. Manager checked us in early after we had driven up from Spain. Breakfast is very good value and recommended. We did not eat in the restaurant but it looks good too. There is free public parking opposite but we took the gated private parking which is accessed via various residential roads behind the hotel. Fuel up the road. Local towns are busy but a delight to visit thanks to helpful map from manager. Pool very clean. You can breakfast on the terrace beside the pool.
Nothing.

The room was perfect for a family and well located next to the pool. It was clean and there was private parking that we could park our vehicle in (often there’s a height restriction and our vehicle is 195cm). The restaurant was absolutely superb and I can honestly say it was one of the best meals I’ve had in a French restaurant.
The only down side was there was a terrible noise above the room which stopped us sleeping until we decided to turn off the air con, which wasn’t ideal as we had our 2 dogs and daughter with us and it was a very hot day. The noise stopped once we turned off the air-con and I suggested to reception that they may want to have a look at that. However we would still 100% stay there again.

Very nice hotel with an exceptionally friendly front desk staff. Open large pool/jacuzzi were great
My only negative comment is that we had a really tiny room with a view on a wall and the rubbish bins, belonging to a next door restaurant. So if you book just to spend a night - go for it, otherwise consider other options. It could also help if there was a kettle/coffee/tea available in the room.

super friendly reception staff, spotlessly clean, rooms smell lovely, beautiful pool area (heated) and enough sun loungers for all, AirCon worked well, nice bathroom.
breakfast was overpriced (€16/each) so we enjoyed lovely croissants and coffee/juice about 5mins walk away at a Boulangerie with tables outside. Our standard room had a view of side alley - would pay extra next time for pool or Seaview.

Great pool. Close to beach and not far from centre with shops and restaurants
Only problem was being able to hear noise from adjoining rooms especially from the bathroom!

Our room was a very nice size with king size bed, sofa & tables & air conditioning. The balcony overlooked a busy road and then the sea. The balcony was a little dated. The pool was a good size, warm enough temperature and very inviting. Breakfast was good with the option to eat outside. The restaurant was modern and good food although would have liked bigger fish choice & rather pricey.
The room was at the front over the restaurant. Thus it was noisy.
