This hotel's location is 3km from the Grand Plage / central Biarritz, which was a positive for us, as given it is August there appeared to be 10,000 people on that beach. The beaches local to the hotel were 5 minutes away, and much less crowded. The hotel was nice, the room was comfortable, with a sea view angled south towards Spain. We didn't eat dinner in the hotel, but on the local beaches where the beach fare was amazingly good. Wifi worked, the staff attentive and tri lingual-English,French,Spanish... A membership to a local health club on the beach was included, and was a nice perk for us.
