Great stay at L’Escale in a pretty village with good amenities in the Ile de Re

Great location, comfortable room, welcoming staff. Good breakfast and adjoining restaurant was excellent. Hired bikes for the day from the hotel which worked well.

Lovely place, highly recommend

Fabulous small hotel and restaurant on a square, away from the more touristy areas of St Martin de Re, but within an easy cycle ride. Room was simple, with everything we needed. Our room was over the square (Room 103) so could be noisy in the summer I imagine. We ate twice in the restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed both meals - important to book as it gets full quickly, lots of people without reservations were turned away on both evenings. Staff were friendly and welcoming.

Great stay in a quiet but charming village.

It’s the fourth time we have stayed at the hotel, so we think it has everything we need for a nice stay on the island.

My husband , myself and our dog Freddie ,were welcomed with warmth and thoughtfulness. We loved everything about it. We chose to eat in the restaurant at lunchtime and evening and the food was great. The village of St Marie, is mainly residential and not particularly touristy. It's close to a fantastic wild beach , which we enjoyed too... Therefore, the standard of the dining experience was really important as there weren't many options in the village. The hotel is very modern and very nice indeed. The staff were exceptional, if I only customer service was like this everywhere. There's a lovely patisserie and market in the village.. if you prefer a non touristy experience, this would make a brilliant place to base yourself. You can even hire bicycles to go off for the day from there. We would happily recommend this to anyone considering staying here. Thanks for a great experience staying with you.

With a better receptionist and more attention to detail this could be very pleasant.

The rooms felt new and well designed. The receptionist who also dealt with breakfast just not as though she did not wish to be there. On the last morning another lady possibly the proprietor was friendly and helpful at breakfast.
