“Look forward to returning”
The staff at the front desk were really friendly and welcoming. The waterfront location and pool were perfect whilst being very easily walkable into the main town. The beach was incredible. The room was clean, quiet and cool. Bike storage was secure and easily accessible.

“Laid back beach front hotel.”
This is a nice hotel, central to Ronces-les-Bains and right on the beach-front. The dining-room terrace, overlooking the sea and Isle d'Oleron, was a great place to eat. There is a small swimming pool. Ronce has a laid-back beach vibe.

“Restful friendly hotel”
The view onto the seashore was so relaxing. The hotel was totally quiet . There is a lawn with sunloungers with a view of the pool and sea with the Isle d'Oleron beyond. I heard waders like Redshank calling! Egrets could be watched from our breakfast table, feeding on the newly exposed my as the tide receded. A birders dream! The staff were all delightful, friendly and helpful. Several spoke good English, which was great for my husband, but I wanted to practise my French ( why else go to France?!) so was pleased that the receptionist on our second visit preferred to speak French! My room on the Village side had no view; the windows were opaque half way for privacy, so an inner hall with basket chairs plus a high coffee table with bar stools was very welcome when it rained. The outer door was half glass with garden+ sea view. You could also sit in the bar and use tables there, plus a 3 piece basket chair suite in the spacious Reception area. There is no actual lounge. Good restaurant. Helpful waiters/waitresses . Almond milk option at breakfast! The Brioche loaf was low in gluten. They did get a gluten free bread for me but it was seeded so I couldn't eat it, which was a shame, as it looked Artisanal! We felt at home there. It was truly restful. We had 7 nights in 2 stays (on the way South then on the way back.) Great bird watching not far away. (Bruage marshes)

“Relaxing, peaceful stay”
The hotel is in an amazing position overlooking the sea, which is very relaxing. As the tide falls the Egrets, Redshank and other waders fly in calling to feed on the newly exposed mud .Great for bird watching! There are comfortable sun beds on the lawn & we got a mocktail from the bar to drink. The pool looks great but I didn't try it this time. Breakfast was superb! I loved boiling my own eggs! The meats, cheeses and butter are kept in a chilled glass fronted cabinet. There is Almond Milk, which is a fantastic alternative to cow's milk for dairy sensitive people. The restaurant is good with quick service. It was quiet.
