Lets see - we had five in a room that they reckon could cope with six. That would have meant two people in the fold out double sofa bed. The actual double bed was akin to a wide single - cosy! The girls loved the bunks - which are seemingly styled on those on the Ferry to Cherbourg. If you... More

Great location, right across from the beach, and bus stop right at the gate, which will take you almost anywhere in the area for only e2 for a day ticket. Quite clean. However the staff were most unhelpful, and in the week I stayed there, we had many more rude encounters with staff than nice. Disappointing when we found all... More

Noisy rooms = yes, especially if anywhere near the pool (which most are) Furniture in the rooms = crud. Fold out bed is the bottom of the range Conforma one, hardly works, never flat, uncomfortable. Twin beds in the "room" are real beds, but the room has one A4 sized window (in our case directly into the bar), so is... More

The hotel is simple and spartan, but does have a swimming pool, and is on the road across from cliffs/road leading down to a large secondary beach, separate from the tourist-jammed central beach of downtown Biarritz. On-beach rental of surfboards, bodyboards, etc, as well as snacks/beers. Suggestion: A great way to end a day with friends is the roadside pinchos... More

The apartments were noisy, all we heard at night was banging from the plumbing and people talking loudly walking past out apartment. They are badly laid out also. The fold up bed in our apartment didn't work ie it would not fold into a double bed. The washing machine and dryers were expensive (6 euro per wash and 3 euro... More

We arrived at the hotel at 4pm and were told to return at 5pm for check in. We found this somewhat inconvenient as we were unable to unpack and relax after a long journey and had to wander around outside the hotel premises killing time. Given that it was me and my partner's two year anniversary I had requested a... More

Hi booked into the Mer et Golf because of positive reviews but have to say it is the worst hotel I have stayed in whilst in Biarritz, room was poor, dirty, it was cleaned once in the week that we were there- on the last but one day! , we had to get our own towels and toilet rolls as... More

we stayed here in november for a couple of nights and would thoroughly recommend it. in spite of it being low season, there were quite a few guests. rooms were clean, bright and well equipped. the staff are pleasant and very friendly. you can pre-order bread and pastries for breakfast the night before, at very reasonable prices, or you can...

Generally I am loath to stay anywhere that is not in the exact centre of the town we are visiting but in this case I am very pleased that we made an exception. We recently traveled to France to visit family who live in nearby (minutes away) Biarritz, and my brother in-law (a local) recommended these lodgings. The Mer at... More
