we stayed for 5 nights , great value , tremendous breakfast included , staff quite superb in all areas of the hotel . Room was quite big, comfortable bed, with sea view , probably a better bet than the vineyard side . We had dinner three times, once as room service ..too tired from all the open air activity to want to glam up ...and each time really really good and we are not that easily satisfied either , (moules frites in moderation sort of people) . In fact we found it hard to have a whinge about anything but didnt use the Spa so maybe there is a whinge there if I tried .. and yes the better beach is about a 5/10 min walk away , better beaches still about a 10 min drive ..But for walking , cycling etc superb and also had a 3 evenings sea shanty festival in the village sq while we were there ...Delightful stay and who says the French are unfriendly , not here not by along long way , and not once offended by my murdrous assault on the language , not even a smirk ...now THAt is service and warmth

The staff in this hotel were great, very helpful and spoke really good english. My gripe is aimed at the food and noise in the hotel, yes the NOISE. The rooms are seperated by what seems like cardboard walls and you can literally hear everything. It's far from relaxing to be woken up at 7.30am on holiday due to someone having a child with them........

The breakfast was burnt and in my opinion not worth the 15€ charge! I unfortunately had to send my meal back twice due to it not being cooked (steak) however this is an unfair gripe as it's France after all... It did take over an hour though - which was less than impressive... when it arrived it was a great steak... or maybe I was just very hungry after the wait!

The "Spa" is actually another building a few mins walk away, which is no big issue but just something to be aware of - also the saltwater pool in the spa is not great! it's about 1m20cm deep at it's max, not much good for trying to have a swim.

No vegetarian option, the one their chef prepared was a Leek, 3 potatoes (tiny) and 2 carrots (also tiny).

This hotel was interesting, although we were there in winter, so it was very cold and baron. The rooms are large and very clean. One of the staff on the front desk was extremely rude and the other went out of her way to help us, so a bit hit and miss there. There was no internet access, and for such a large hotel this was very strange. We had breakfast delivered to our room at no extra charge, but it was a very average breakfast. Stale bread and jam. Nothing exciting. They didn't offer any cheese or ham. The hotel is miles from anything else. We drove 30 minutes each night to the nearest place for dinner. They seemed to have some cruise-ship type feel happening, with a daily letter to guests and everyone ate together in the dinning room and certain times. That didn't really appeal to us, as we prefer to eat from a menu and whenever we feel like it. So we opted to go elsewhere. This would probably be much better in summer and nice for families. It's right on the beach, so it would be gorgeous from that point of view. And most bedrooms seemed to have balconies which would be lovely in hot weather. A few things to fix, but otherwise not bad.

We took a chance and pitched up at the hotel late afternoon on Friday 15th Aug - peak season and national holiday, having followed signs from the village. I think we managed to find the last room on the island which was the suite, first floor and huge. Being a last minute we also got a pretty good discount which included the extensive breakfast buffet for 2 adults and 2 children.

The hotel staff were very helpful and relaxed and we ate both evenings in the restaurant which also overlooks the beach. Very good value set menu's ranging from 25 to 40 euro's with plenty of choice. The set children's menu was 12 euro's. Wine started at 16 euro's per bottle - so very reasonable given the quality and location.

The hotel is 50m from the beach front with beautiful, unrestricted views across the bay and south. The beach is a narrow sandy strip before the rock pool heaven to the sea. We spent hours finding crabs and sea life which the kids loved. More extensive sandy beaches are a short drive away further up the island with lots of water sports activities are available.

The hotel has a bike hire available for 19 euro's a day via a local franchise based in the village and the chap also brought a child seat and bike to the hotel to meet our requirements. Lots of cycle paths to the other towns and villages and we clocked up 25Km on the Sat touring around. The village has a market on Sunday mornings and the ride along the coastal path was quite spectacular.

We didn't try out the spa other than the heated sea water swimming pool but it looked to have every single therapy under the sun available. - a covered walk way links the hotel and the spa and again, all the staff were excellent.

A brilliant end of holiday stay and we are now looking at visiting the island for longer next summer. We spent more than we planned but worth every penny and very good value.
