"The owners were more than hospitable. Marie-Laurence treated me as if we'd been best friends. She was warm and charming. Fransico was also pleasant, went around his duties quietly but always with a smile. This couple has created an oasis out of a horse ranch. Some rooms, the pony stalls, therefore are small. Breakfast, not included, beautifully served on my front porch. "
"The staff were all SO kind and the property and rooms were gorgeous. I wish we could have extended our trip just to have had more time there! As someone who lives on a horse ranch it felt like the French equivalent of being home. A wonderful stay all around! "
"Everything very good. Most of staff were very helpful and it was helpful that some spoke English, although we didn't expect that as we were in France and, out of curtesy, we believed that we should attempt speaking French. Activities were free eg. crazy golf, tennis etc. The restaurant on site was for all-inclusive guests only, so we couldn't eat there. Ten minute walk to a beautiful, sandy beach with very reasonable prices for burgers, chips, drinks etc. Unfortunately, although we booked in as...
"After travelling for over 50 years this is the only hotel where the manager greets you every morning and asks if everything is okay what a lovely surprise cannot wait to go back again thank you very much "
"What a great place to stay! The owners have created a fantastic environment to relax and the staff were uniformily pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was also very good. We highly recommend. "
"We found this strategic accommodation for several reasons and if you don't want a horse experience you probably won't need your car for a while.
Free public parking is within walking distance, ditto for the pedestrian city center, restaurants and beaches (wind if always treacherous).
Friendly staff, cleaning ok, perfect quality french style breakfast!
The standard room is decent, so why not?
We enjoyed our stay!"
"Perfect location. Right on the beach, very easy walking distance to the old Notre Dame church (don’t miss climbing up the tower), plenty of restaurants nearby and excellent access to the Carmargue nature areas. Slightly older hotel, but very comfortable, clean, safe, and delicious breakfast!!! "
"There are so many good things to say about the place and the staff. It was an awesome stay!!! Our host was super helpful and we just loved every moment of our time. Close to everything and we will definitely be back. We highly recommend staying there if want a great place for a holiday."

4/5 Good
Chic but good be very chic with a little more
"We stayed for 2 nights whilst exploring the area. Check in was fine but we were asked to pay a deposit which is not mentioned when booking and us very old school and not something one expects in today’s Hôtel environment.
They stated they have a roof terrace with drinks and snacks available. However this roof top terrace is merely a terrace to one of their larger rooms and there is not actual bar or person to serve you - not really a true roof top terrace.
Charging a nightly charge for our pet seems excessive as they do not use much - but the hotel did provide two small dog bowls and some snacks for him. No treats for us though.
A good location and quiet for all that Cap D’Agde has to offer"

"Absolutely wonderful stay. Everything is as described. Clean. Perfect location. Small parking lot next to their building. The breakfast was expansive. The staff were all so friendly even though I don’t speak any French. 100% would recommend and stay here again. Get the ocean view room. "

"We had a wonderful time in May 2025 with our three boys ages 11, 9 and 7.
The club is beautiful and well maintained. Pools were perfect for our boys (4 pools in total if you count the kiddies pool separately).
We went to the buffet for breakfast and dinner every day. There was lots of variety but not so much that it was overwhelming. Breakfast included hot drinks and juice. Dinner included wine (self service) and water (still and sparkling).
There are two tennis courts, football pitch/basketball court, three table tennis tables and adventure playground to keep the kids entertained. All equipment can be borrowed from reception.
We flew into Nimes airport which is abut 40 minutes away. You can get a shuttle bus to/from the airport into Nimes centre and then a bus to/from Le Grau-Du-Roi or the hotel can book a taxi transfer (which is about €130) if you phone them to book before you arrive.
We were pretty much the only English family in the resort. Mainly French families staying there. Most of the staff speak fantastic English however in the local area it was a struggle with communicating as not a super touristy place for English. That being said, we managed at shops and restaurants and used Google translate when needed!
Our room was nice and comfortable. Compact but enough space. Stairs to upstairs was quite steep and narrow and could have done with a hand rail.
We honestly had the best time and would 100% recommend to families or anyone wanting to stay in this part of France."

"My first room had a horrible smell. I was told they have it when it is windy. Too bad there is always wind in Sete. I had to argue to change it to another room. I was given a lower category room so the no offer to compensation. In the new room the sink did not drain. There was no hot water in the morning for the shower. No excuse offered. Seemed business as usual. Never again."
"Could not have asked for a better location. Right in the center of all of the amazing restaurants and shops. Make sure to take a cruise around the Peninsula and eat fresh fish.
The town is truly a step back in history"
If you have a ferry from Sète then this is for you
"Probably one of the worst Ibos Budget hotels I’ve stayed in. Tiny room, barely enough space to get round the bed. Really takes ‘no frills’ to the extreme.
The positives: if you stay here you probably want access to the ferry - which is practically next door. Parking behind the hotel. The town centre is a bit further but walkable. There is a carrefour supermarket nearby to stock up on whatever you need.
Negatives: where to start. Tiny room as mentioned, pitiful breakfast, codes to remember for room, lift, and staircase -all different. No lunch/dinner onsite at the weekend - the food shed outside looks pretty basic.
