choose a seaview room on the first floor as rooms at swimmingpool level not very private
the space around the pool and the number of chairs are somewhat limited
restaurant in the hotel provides excellent service and good choice

I was travelling solo for 3 days and do no tdrive so I booked this hotel on the beach for relaxation. Airport to Ile De is easy, one bustop at the airport get the Ligne 7 bus to Place du Verdun (€1.30) in the city centre then get the No.3 bus (€4 each way) to Il de Re, takes 20mins to La Rochelle centre and 20mins to Il de Re by bus (Gustave stop)the 2nd stop on the island, very comfortable travelling. Hotel has no snack facilities and restaurant is open 2 hrs lunch and then nothing until nighttime. breakfast at €14 is way too expensive. Its also in the middle of nowhere so any shop or bakery is a good 10min walk. No security at nighttime as no staff. Nice pool area. Beach is lovely but ridden with flies so bring repellant, they drove me mad. I would advise to fo further into the Island as Rivedoux area is very quiet and no shopping,.

The hotel is clean, comfortable and the staff pleasant and helpful. Breakfasts were good and hotel restaurant with terrace overlooking the beach, was really excellent. It was so convenient for the airport at La rochelle, with convenient parking opposite, in the beach carpark. The rooms were on the small side, but the bed was comfortable, bathroom facillities good, and air conditioning worked well. There was very little nose from the nearby road, and the pool area was delightful. The hotel was well situated for exploring the island on bikes or by car.

If you want a hotel convenient to La Rochelle airport but on the Ile de Re, this is the one - 10 minute drive in our hire car. We were pleased with our stay because we were on a budget and made our reservation via booking.com which had discounted the normal rate by at least 30%. We would have been disappointed had we paid the normal rate as the hotel is wedged into a small residential site. We also avoided the over-priced breakfast. The hotel faces the sea but, the worse view on the island (industrial La Rochelle). When you arrive, you will find you park in the public beach car park across the road from the hotel, otherwise parking is 10 euros per night round the back in their own tiny car park.

The beds were king size though and very comfortable, the bath rooms clean and modern and the staff were helpful.

Next time however, we would spend a little more and go up market towards the centre of the island which is very relaxing with great beaches.
