I have just arrived back in England after five days staying at the Hotel Les Sables d'Or. We arrived at the hotel at 3 o'clock on monday afternoon, and had to wait an hour to check in. When we had successfully checked in, we went up stairs to our rooms to unpack; Three friends, and myself were in room 112, and it was a large room, it included a shower/bath sink, toilet and a cabinet with a mirror on. In the actual room, it had four single beds, a dressing table with draws, a wardrobe, and a big mirror. Our room was perfectly fine, but the majority of my friends had the rooms outside.... they weren't connected to the hotel, so teachers had to go outside to make sure they were OK. In the rooms outside, There was Cracked mirrors, no lights that worked, damp patches on the Walls, and ceiling and the wall paper was hanging off.
When it came to a night time, the food, wasn't particularly edible; you would be given a starter, main course and desert, also you wouldn't get a choice of what you would like to eat, so vegetarians would have to starve. For starter you would get soup: Tomato, Onion e.c.t but on the monday, we were given pancake with cheese in side... it was DISGUSTING!
For main course you were given:
omelette which had no taste
Tinned pasta ravioli
Raw hot dog and mash
Chicken With hard potatoes.
For desert you were given and ice cream (personally I think this is the only course everyone ate!) but one night everyone was given a apple yogurt, that looked like baby food... (I wouldn't even give a baby this it looked that bad!)
On a night, when we arrived back from the beach it was about 10:30, and one of the women who worked there, would always stand at the top/bottom of the stairs, to make sure everyone was quite.
In alot of other reviews, they report seeing the hotel owner... In our time staying here, we never even heard about him/her... but we did overhear a teachers conversation about the hotel owner pointing, and shouting at our bus driver.
The location was very good, quiet, but lively. It was only a 20 minute walk from the hotel down to the beach, which we played tennis e.c.t on, on a night time.
One of my friends Quotes:
"I was in my friends room, when the manager was next door, and he started to complain about how we were making to much noise, when we had teachers in the room next door, and they couldn't hear us. We also had girls in our room working, and everyone seemed to be pretty quiet!"
Other than the few minor dislikes about the Hotel and food, this hotel seemed to be pretty good! But hey... EVERYONE HAS THEIR OWN OPINION! So you would have to see what its like for yourself!
