Average 4 star hotel could do better.
Location right on beach lovely. Hotel layout and indoor pool also a plus. However apart from good staff at bar, the restaurant and reception staff were only average. Restaurant food was average to poor for a 4 star hotel with the exception of the Friday night seafood buffet.

Great hotel, great facilities, great location. Friendly staff and warm welcome. Not the best beach for swimming (strong tide, lots of old iron mussel/oyster beds), but very beautiful. Indoor seawater pool and other activities more than compensated.

Lovely hotel!
Having been stuck in traffic for nearly 7 hours, due to the farmer's strike, we didnt get to the hotel until late evening. It would have been a nice gesture to offer a complimentary drink, and we had to make use of the tea/coffee facilities in the room (which consisted of one tea bag, one coffee sachet and a herbal tea bag only). The room was satisfactory, and we had a small patio (with table and chairs) outside which was quite dark because of the shrubbery. There was ample toiletries, and a fridge (which contained a small bottle of complimentary water). The food looked very nice, but we found the menu and drinks to be expensive. The best feature of this hotel is it's beachfront location which is absolutely wonderful. It was very relaxing and tranquil. The staff are friendly and i would highly recommend the hotel.

Beautiful location
Quiet location, private beach. Public Oleron beaches can be very busy and inaccessible. Popular with French families. Mix of old/young. Good facilities and food. Spa treatments expensive. little English spoken.

Return to D'Oleron
After more than 20 years we returned to this lovely island.It is now more commercial but still very peaceful, particularly the hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the bay was beautiful - just a shame the weather wasn't! Overall the hotel was well maintained and clean, although we had to report our balcony was flooded as guttering blocked.

A luxurious break
A really lovely hotel with fantastic views from the restaurant and decked area. Very helpful staff. Great indoor pool and very comfortable rooms. Only 2 downsides - the menu, which was overpriced and limited in choice especially for children and the fact that other guests had their dogs with them!

Gorgeous location & pool
Stayed here one night with our two kids (6 & 8) - we all loved the deck of the hotel, straight on the beach. The swimming pool (salty!) is large and also well situated, straight on the beach. N.B. low tide reveals racks for oyster farming, definitely would be unpleasant to bash ones feet on. Ocean beaches are ~2 km walk away through the forest, or you can take the "petit train"

Not great value for money
The location of the hotel was great. On the coast of the island with a large expanse of beach to rome. We stayed for one night only as I felt it wasn't good value for money. 2 adults and 2 children in an executive room. To lay out the sofa bed we had to move the table and stack the 2 chairs on top of one another. There was 1/2 foot between double bed and sofa, it was far to cramped. The room was clean with slipper and bathrobes and the staff very helpful and friendly. I would stay there again but maybe not during August when rates were at their highest. The hotel did have good spa facilities.

loved walking out onto the beach with long walks possible in both directions. salt pool, sauna and steam room were nice. room was small though clean and well designed with kettle and bar fridge for snacks and a light breakfast. kids ate free at the breakfast buffet which was appreciated. A/C worked well. I wish there were fans in the bathrooms, but there was a nice big shower.
