“Exceeded expectations”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2011 via mobile

We had just booked a twin room so were pleasantly suprised when we got an apartment room, which had a kitchenette, we did a big shop in the supermarket (5min walk away) the first day so we had breakfast,lunch and snacks covered really cheaply. Aircon was great room was really spacious and the shower was brill. A stones through from the beach and the hotels pool was a nice touch it was deserted during the day busier in the evenings. There is a takeaway and bar under the hotel and a small funfair just beside it,the nightclub is a 3min walk away open 2 5,drink is expensive there though ,we didnt notice noise from any of these. I would recommend the pizza in the restaurant across the road . There was just one or two downsides to the hotel housekeeping wasnt great the bed sheets were never changed during our 5day stay, floor wasnt swept both were quite sandy from the beach, they only gave us one roll of toilet paper the second day and after that never gave anymore even though there was none left, simalarly with towels some days they didnt leave any new clean ones or just left hand towels instead of bath towels. Also the first evening we tried to leave after 7 (when reception closes) we found the front door locked and it took us a while to figure out how to leave via back car park instructions at reception say to take three lefts its actually three rights. It would have been helpful to mention this on check in also this area is badly lit at night but the island is very safe so not really an issue.

“Time to find somewhere else”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2011

We have stayed here twice. The first time was in 2010 when we had an apartment upstairs with no balcony, however we liked the hotel so booked again for this year, this time downstairs with a terraced area.
The hotel is 2 star and doesn't pretend to be otherwise. On the plus: the reception is nice and the staff helpful; it has a pleasant pool with great loungers; secure parking at the back for cars and bikes; and good location- stones throw from a great beach, convenient for the supermarket and a short walk into the pretty village centre. On the negative the apartments are tired: they are in need of decorating, the shower rooms are pokey and block up, the beds squeak, pillows lumpy and the covers are old.
It's a shame really as potentially a great place and we really want to give it a good review but in all honesty improvements could and should be made.

Room Tip: Most certainly ask to be pool side (otherwise no view and can be noisy) and if possible get downstai...

“a lovely little hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2011

person found this review helpful

Hotel de la Plage have studio apartments and one bed apartments. We have stayed here 3 times. The Hotel is central to restaurants and beside the beach. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It is a typical basic french hotel, but it is very clean and an ideal base on Ile de Re. There is a boulangerie beside it and bike hire. We will stay here again.

Room Tip: Get a ground floor apartment each one has a little terrace outside.

“Nice place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2011

Eventhough the surroundings of the hotel are not the nicest (camping with funfair that causes quite a lot of noise between 7 and 11pm) the hotel itself was lovely. the staff was friendly, our room was bright big and friendly, breakfast was delicious too and the beach is literally 3mins away. We also especially enjoyed being 5mins away from city center and the tourist croeds. can also only recommend the cafe de la plage which is in the same block.

“Want to return very soon”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 July 2011

The hotel is in a perfect location - 5 minutes walk to the beach and 10 to La Couarde centre which has lovely shops and restaurants. The hotel breakfast was delicious. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room had a terrace and that made it seem more spacious. The pool was small but vey nice with good quality sun loungers. We hired bicycles from reception and enjoyed the many cycle paths on the island. All in all the hotel and La Couarde sur Mer were delightful. End of June was a good time to visit, just before the main holiday season. Will definitely go back to the island and that hotel.

Room Tip: I would chose a ground floor room with a terrace.
