Spent a week at the self-catering time-share accommodation.

I had started liking this resort 6 mths before we arrived. Phoning up to request local transport advice, they offered to book my car ferry at trade prices - which saved me 40%.

The quality of the accommodation was amongst the best I have encountered - repair, fittings, equipment and cleanliness.

The restaurant was good quality; timeshare guests could take full breakfast at £5 per head. The bar may not suit those who like a quiet drink; there was a large TV going and some lively conversation.

A welcome change from other resorts is no timeshare sales force - there are only about 12 timeshare units, thus no 'welcome' meeting, but an information envelope. The staff were very helpful, but not intrusive.

This is a great hotel, if you have already booked then you are in for a real treat! Very lucky !

I now live on Gsy, I'm from Manchester and I always book La Grande Mare for my friends and I will tell you why....

The hotel, now 30 years old is unsurpassed luxury, there is a real sense you are the most important guest. The rooms may be a tad dated, but they are fantastically spacious, superb quality and extra huge bathrooms.

I have seen many of the rooms, and every time I'm well impressed, as are my visiting friends.

The hotel is also part of a French training course for waiters and esses, the service is what you would expect of a 600 EUR per night hotel, and here waiting is treated as a profession.

If you love Golf this is seriously elite, the second elitist golf course on Gsy.

Step out of the door your on Vazon Bay, a very sporting beach, windsurfing, surfing, wind buggies, sand racing, anything, it all happens here.

This really is one of Gsy's best hotels, attention to detail is everything, sure you can see where improvements could be made, but this hotel is for the classic traveler.

Everything is solid, heavy and feels right, no rubbish here, yes it’s a tad dated but this furniture was designed to stand time, it is the best quality.

I totally recommend this hotel on any budget, my last booking was just over £120 for 2 nights B&B at the weekend sole occupancy.

The reason so many weddings are here is because it is the best.

I had lunch there today 2 people including soft drinks £16. Not bad for exclusive 4**** ?

Carlos is the head waiter and he really will take care of you, he is fabulous at his job and has been with the hotel for many years.

This hotel also won every accolade possible between 1991 & 1998.

Last week I met the new head chef, he has been working in Michelin star restaurants. expect quality.

This hotel is only for the elegant traveler, don't go on a cheap and cheerful here! And to all those posting poor reviews I don't think you understand the shear expense and effort that has gone into making this hotel a landmark of Guernsey. You won't find chicken and chips here, silver service all the way!

The hotel and timeshare rooms have been firm favorites for some years. The appeal is possibly the excellent golf course, the great indoor swimming pool and gym, the super food, nearness to one of the largest and best beaches on the island and comfortable beds! Of course Guernsey is quite a 'laid back' place and this is one of the joys of visiting. All you need is a spell of decent weather and there is no better place on earth. Some good walks too inland from the hotel. Oh and the outdoor pool is good in the summer.

Staff friendly. Rooms clean and very comfortable. Excellent location next to sea with 18 hole Golf Course surrounding Hotel. I don't play Golf but there are only 2 18 hole courses on the Island and this one is highly regarded I was told.
Food excellent whilst we were there and staff very attentive. Prices reasonable in comparison with eating out.
Good leisure facilities, Indoor and Outdoor pools as well as well equiped gym and grounds maintained to high standards.
Stayed there last year in a self catering apartment as we did this time and noticably better I thought, perhaps familiarity but don't think so.Very well equipped apartment.
Location for all main facilities on the Island ideal and bus stops adjacent to hotel if needed. 10 mins drive from airport .
Beach 50 yards from hotel is superb.
Would go back again- in fact saw several people that were there last year and seems they go back year upon year.
