8/10 Good
"Really lovely hotel staff were amazing speaking both French and English. We only used pool once only approximately 8 loungers and obviously it’s indoors so most people go to the beach, a bit of an odd set up as you have to walk through the restaurant to go to the pool. I can’t comment on the food as we didn’t use the restaurant. Hôtel is named as pet friendly yet your dog can only be in your room no other areas. Parking was 10 mins away and costs approximately £15 per day there is street parking if you can find a space near by. Everything was of a good standard we were on the 3rd floor with see view very quiet with great views."
