We had a very warm welcome on arrival with staff ensuring we had a car parking space and then taking the time to escort us to our room and settle us in. The room was equipped with a small kitchenette and kettle. There was an excellent breakfast choice and we took the opportunity to eat outside by the pool. We ate in the hotel restaurant on two evenings. It was truly worthy of the title ‘fine dining’. It is only about 100m walk to the beach. In addition the hotel has a pool and Spa. We will definitely be returning to this hotel next year. The Île de Re is one of our favourite holiday destinations and this hotel will be our first choice.

“Relaxing break”

Comfortable hotel, nice rooms, a little small, facilities are good however the restaurant is disappointing. Needs good management. Breakfastt buffet is good. Pleasant staff. Convenient location suitable for exploring the area and enjoying sea food.

“short break”

We stayed here in August for four nights. The rooms are very clean and tasteful in a beach theme. Each dwelling has its own front door to outside and a patio area to the rear. They are all single storey with own bike rack at front. We were nar to the pool and restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed our s… more

We stayed here in August for four nights. The rooms are very clean and tasteful in a beach theme. Each dwelling has its own front door to outside and a patio area to the rear. They are all single storey with own bike rack at front. We were nar to the pool and restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff were really friendly and helpful and rooms were cleaned every day with laundry replaced as necessary. We were a short walk from the beautiful beach and a short bike ride from other quaint villages. I would happily stay there again. Maybe all I can say about the restaurant is that maybe a bit more variation in the menu would be good. Breakfast couldn't be faulted though. Beds were super and there is a small fridge/minibar. Thanks to the staff for making our stay so happy!

“Fine as a base from which to explore the island”

There are three hotels scattered across the street. They appear to be owned by the same management but do not physically connect.

There are three hotels scattered across the street. They appear to be owned by the same management but do not physically connect. The main reception is in the Hotel Elégance which has one of the small pools. Down the road there are some rooms, which appear to be a bit larger and more modern but these have no direct access to hotel facilities. There is no pool here so residents have to walk to the Elégance or cross the road to the Plaisir. The Plaisir houses a further two small pools, one heated, one not, and the breakfast/restaurant area. The rooms at the Plaisir are small and basic, with limited cupboard space for clothes and a small shower room. The TVs in the Plaisir only have French and some German channels, which might be an issue if it rains and the kids want to watch some TV. Intercommunicating rooms appear to be available for families but check that your kids’ rooms are in the same complex as it might be hard to change in busy periods. The Hotel Ile de Re is a bit further down the road, opposite the campsite. Because the properties are scattered, it does not feel like a unified hotel, but it was quiet and relaxed. Overall, it was fine as a base from which to explore this very pretty island, and the staff were pleasant and helpful. It is very close to the lovely Le Bois-Plage beach and about 15 mins walk to the Le Bois-Plage centre, with a market, bakeries, supermarket, some other shops and a few restaurants. There is also a Navette stop close by for free bus rides to the gorgeous St Martin and La Flotte and other parts of the Island.
