The room itself was basic, although had balcony with view over the Lac - in fact was across the road from the lac beach, and just a walk or short drive to the ocean (surfing) beach. The only negative was the very hard bed, although we stayed at several different hotels and gites over a 5 week period and all but one were the same - like sleeping on boards! Also, no air conditioning, although this too seemed to be usual in France, despite temperatures reaching 100F almost daily in June. Other than that, there was a pool at the back, as well as the lac and beach at the front, the Hotel restaurant was lovely (food exquisite), the reception area and lounge was attractive and the staff were friendly. Would recommend it and would probably go back.
