"Merci à tout le personnel pour son accueil et leur sourire. Nous y avons passé un très bon séjour. Chambre confortable et propre. Repas excellent… bravo, continuez ainsi"
"Cannot see why this hotel is only 2 star
Rooms are small but other than that a great place to stay
We stayed 2 nights and would def stay again
Only downside , no tea / coffee facilities in room"
"Please located in very beautiful spot, is relaxing and quiet.
Room are big, clean and have everything what I needed for stay.
Staff really caring and helpful. I would recommend for business stay, events and holidays."
"Pool was a life saver during this 3rd canicule! A/C was also super and only complaint was the tiny breakfast room and not enough staff to handle the huge numbers,,,,,,ran out of hot foods, hotel was also very remote,"
"Beautiful hotel if your aim is to just flip flop around, lounge by the pool and soak up the sun and smell the surrounding pine trees. Think little lizards, pine cones and pina coladas.
We had an upstairs room which had the most beautiful view. All the rooms face out onto the sea, and you get a beautiful light over the water in the evening. The balcony’s are mostly shaded too which is a good thing, it helps to keep the rooms cool.
You can hire bikes (€14 / half day) and cycle across the island to the main town quite easily, around 30 mins and very flat.
Breakfast was €25pp which we thought was quite pricey, so we decided to make the most of the little fridge in the room and keep some fruit and small supplies for breakfast instead.
The lunch menu is a bit limited, mostly sharing / charcuterie style boards, but enjoyable nonetheless for a light lunch. The restaurant dinner menu was more substantial and very enjoyable, and the cocktail mixologist was superb, very calm, collected and made some excellent cocktails for us.
Finally, the ‘beach’ is only really a beach at low tide and the water is extremely shallow when at mid-tide. At high tide the beach completely disappears which may put you off, but we were more than happy with the large spacious and clean pool right next to the beach with the ‘lazy river’ to enjoy too as a bonus, complete with sea air. Overall we loved this stay as a couple for our anniversary, and would definitely recommend it."
"A very popular hotel for sure with spacious rooms, great Wifi, and a lovely pool, jacuzzi, sun lounger area. The reception and staff were excellent and this hotel deserves its high review rating. Plenty of secure parking which is a must for me. There is a restaurant on site for continental breakfast and main meals but we did not use so not able to rate. The location means transport is required but it should be mentioned there are excellent cycle paths adjacent to the road. "
"Lovely spotlessly clean room with large balcony. Food and service was superb . Excellent breakfast. . Our only disappointment was the small internal bar area which lacked atmosphere - and sometimes staff !
We will happily stay again on our next visit to the Vendee."
