We know this area well -having had many family holidays in the area
Saw the Tripadviser reviews and this sounded like and ideal place to stay
We paid for the "best " garden rooms
They were small and cramped -bathrooms tiny
Food - had high hopes having read rave reviews
First night food was very good -so we decided to stay in the 2nd evening
BUT - there must have been a different cook on duty !
Crab starter had little crab in it
Sheperds pie !! in France !- my local pub in London serves better
Strawberry thing at end of meal had two biscuits held together with jam - white sauce poured over (tinned condensed milk ? ) and only 1/2 a strawberry for decoration -previous night dish was decorated with strawberries
Oh - and they tried to charge us for eating the E39 meal instead of the E29 one
Perhaps this place is best avoided at the end of season (the pool was even covered up and loungers removed )

This is our third trip to Fleur de Sel. We had been on a 10 day tour of France and had originally booked to stay one night but we loved the place so much we stayed for three nights.

We had a Marine room (ground floor with patio doors overlooking the lovely pool). The rooms are small but ours did have a huge bathroom and the room has a mini fridge with free soft drinks and water and an electric fan both of which are very welcome. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms have plenty of storage and a tv although only French channels are available (except for a news channel).

We booked bed and breakfast (the breakfast is the best we had in France, it is self service and you can boil your own eggs, fresh coffee/tea/chocolate is on tap along with fresh juice, cold meats, toast etc). We remembered the restaurant from previous visits and decided to eat at the hotel every night..........bliss. There is the choice of booking Dinner bed and breakfast, this option means you have ot stick to the set menu for Dinner, so we opted for Bed & Breakfast and ordered from the a la carte, this is the best option and in some cases is cheaper.

Free wifi is available in the hotel reception area for laptops and there is a computer available too. There is also a useful laundry although you are charged an unbelievable 9 euros for a wash and dry. Tennis courts and bike hire are also available.

We hired bikes and went to the local plage for the day, the beach is wonderful with great restaurants on site and about a five minute bike ride from the hotel. The hotel is about a 3 minute ride to the village where there are a huge selection of bars and restaurants.

Our bill was over 800 euros for the three nights with dinner bed and breakfast, it is no longer cheap but the food is wonderful and the location is lovely.

We will be back very soon (sorry bank balance).

We hadn't booked our accommodation and as my husband and I were motoring around we stopped the car and I looked on the garmin to see what accommodation was nearby. Up came this hotel which as it happened was only a few metres away. We drove into the car park and I immediately felt that I would like to stay there. The receptionist was very pleasant and allocated us a ground floor room. This was perfect as there was a door from the carpark which led almost straight into our room. French windows in our room slid back and we were in the grounds near the swimming pool It was like having our own apartment. The pool was superb and warm. Sunloungers around the edge. A few tables were outside near the pool so we could have a snack, drink etc there. Everywhere was very clean. There was almost like a mini park at the side of the hotel if you wanted shade. The hotel even had a tennis court. It was such a relaxing hotel, I only wish we could have stayed longer. We will certainly return. We ate in the Hotel's restaurant and the meal was outstanding and the service top-class. We have eaten out at many restaurants and this is one of the best.

We stayed here during June 08 for one night, we will be going back as we felt the food was excellent and the accomodation was comfortable. The location is great for cycling as this is a really cycle friendly town.
