"PARFAIS"

La Grande Terrasse Hôtel & Spa la Rochelle - MGallery

"Overall this is a lovely hotel - I’m still here - but it’s definitely not suitable for children and there are some serious communication issues outside of any language barriers. On the plus side, reading previous reviews I have found my room to be a good size and very clean. I did ask for a pretty view and was told they’d do their best to accommodate this, but I have no view (see below) I don’t really mind about this, but I would have expected them to let me know, and I do mind about the following issues: Once you have booked and are very close to leaving you receive a mail saying kids can’t use much of the pool - only a very small part without water jets. They can use the pool over the road but only between 18hrs and 19:30 hrs. I thought this would be fine as I expected to be swimming in the sea during the day. I wrote and asked if we could easily walk to the beach to swim or if I should hire a car? Also if there were places to eat and drink within walking distance. I wrote three times but never had a reply. Unfortunately, even though you can walk to the beach you can’t really swim in the day because of the tides. You can swim early in the morning or late in the evening - just when kids can use the pool here! I brought this up and was asked if I expected them to send the timetable of the tides to all their customers? because they don’t do that! No, I don’t expect that, but I do expect a reply having sent three emails, and perhaps some local knowledge here. I’ve been told no one has ever had this problem before - it’s the first time someone has been surprised they can’t swim in the sea in the day! (Not quite true, reading the reviews) Previous reviews have mentioned issues with the restaurant, and indeed, it’s very expensive! A croque Monsieur is €21! Now that’s ok for a really good hotel, but the rest of the service and customer care doesn’t match up to this. The restaurant is completely closed at 2pm - I’m sure I should’ve known this, but I didn’t and I had a treatment which then meant it was too late for anything at the restaurant. I’m fine with that but not my little girl! She was quite hungry and not a happy bunny by the time we walked to a restaurant on the beach! I should mention we were offered smoked fish or pâté and got a bit of a judgy look when I confessed she didn’t like that! The hotel over the road is an Ibis and they tell you slightly different things - you’re only allowed in the outdoor pool if you’re a customer there for example, but I was told by this (Accor hotel) I could go there. Staff in the restaurant there again really lovely but very young! Served me a glass of totally flat champagne and I had to get my own cutlery! All this aside, the spa is lovely and I had a really good facial, the staff are really nice and helpful, and I’d return with another adult for the fabulous treatments and a much shorter stay. This is the perfect place for a short stay with adults to enjoy the thalasso therapies. It’s just n"

Logis Hotel Majestic Chatelaillon Plage - la Rochelle

"I imagine that at one time Hôtel Majestic was once THE place to stay in Edwardian Châtelaillon-Plage. Even though the elegance has faded slightly, this was still a fantastic stay. Extremely helpful and friendly reception, and a massive impressive wooden staircase to take you up to your room. Rooms are spacious, well-furnished (including a kettle), air conditioned and have their own bathrooms. Everything is very clean and well-presented. There’s a great continental breakfast in the morning. Beach is just 100m away; station 400m In summary, a great hotel, impressive both inside and outside. Recommended"

The Originals Boutique, Hôtel Victoria, Châtelaillon-Plage

"Nice little hotel just next to the trainstation of Châtelaillon-Plage, with free parking for hotel guests. The staff was really friendly and attentive. Train to La Rochelle: 15 min. Good simple breakfast. Charming getaway for a long weekend! Wonderful. Thank you."

Ibis Styles la Rochelle Thalasso Châtelaillon

"It has been a long time since we have so looked forward to leaving a hotel. I get the idea of a simple beach front vibe where you can enjoy a place where land and sea come together. We have been savoring that environment throughout our lifetime. We also know that many people come to this sort of place with swim trunks, jeans and a gym bag. But this hotel was designed by a bunch of accountants with some nostalgia for college dorms. Whether you view the decor as cutesy, tacky or just a way to save money, the rooms are tight, cheaply provisioned and don't disguise their budget motel backbone. Granted, the lighting in the bathroom is good, the rainwater shower is not bad and everything is hygienic We didn't come here for the "thalasso" or the pool. The restaurant is one of the worst we have encountered in half a century of enjoying France. Breakfast was acceptable, thanks to some decent self catered coffee. The pastries are straight out of a discount supermarket. Yes, the real estate is valuable, and some explanation of the relatively high price. I don't recall many places that were so obsessed with insuring payment. Yes, I am willing to pay for two nights room and board at check in, but is that necessary when you already have my credit card information and Elite status with Accor? Yes, we usually stay at Accor's more upscale brands. But we have been to a few Ibis Styles. This one is best skipped."

Hôtel le Rivage Vue Sur Mer - Châtelaillon-Plage

"My cousin and I found this amazing hotel by accident, and what a gem it turned out to be. The reception staff were so friendly and helpful and the hotels interior is fresh, comfortable and inviting with lots of individual decor touches. It was also spotless. The view of the beach from my bedroom window was wonderful. The weather was perfect, warm and sunny, which always helps. There was plenty to choose from for breakfast, everything lovely and fresh. I can’t praise this little gem enough and it was such a shame that we weren’t able to stay longer ."
