"This is a grand old French Hotel with nice rooms that have been modernized and parking on site. The dining in Arachon especially seafood is fabulous. You need to recycle your items that can be recycled and take the trash out at the end of the stay, which involves a 100 foot walk thru nice landscaping. We would gladly stay here again!"

The views from our sea facing room were spectacular looking over the swimming pool, lovely beach and the sea. The staff were welcoming and very helpful. Our room was modern and stylish with its own balcony. There isn't a bar as such, but drinks can be ordered and brought to you."
