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.

Unfortunately, this hotel was a real disappointment. It was not what we had expected from our discussions with the hotel beforehand and looking at the website. In brief, our 'interconnecting rooms' (via a bathroom) were tiny, they hadn't been refurbished in years and had an awful musty smell which just lingered. We arrived after midnight and so had to wait till morning to speak to the management. We wanted to be moved to another room or to leave the hotel. We had several discussions with them but while they said they understood our complaints, they weren't prepared to do anything about it and as we had booked for two nights we would be charged for this irrespective of whether we stayed or left. Their policy is very heavily biased in favour of the hotelier (who, in this case provided an unsatisfactory service).

We had the weather so the hotel was a good experience.

Right opposite the nice sandy beach.

Lovely pool area.

Polite receptionist.

Pleasant staff.

Nice restaurant on the hotel site - staff were fantastic. Food was very tasty.

Parking opposite hotel OR you can pay 10Euro a night to park round the back privately.

Rooms clean and bright.
