L'Arena Les Sables d'Olonne

Check out was closed between 12-4pm - even though I was given information we could check in from 2pm - This was also on their own website and information given to my wife who booked via another website to. So arriving a 2.20pm in the pouring rain from an early am flight wasn't ideal. All shut up - nowhere to stand except in the porch and an hour wait for staff to arrive around 3.30pm - not an ideal start - Limited tea/coffee n towels also experienced - Ok on a budget, but maybe a bit more expected after check in

A really nice hotel with lovely rooms right across the road from the beach. I booked two rooms as we were travelling with another couple.. Our friends room was right in the centre of the hotel and were able to access the hotel wi-fi, we on the other hand were further down the hall and could only just about connect and then it would drop out. I guess the reason being that the router had limited reach. There was no mobile phone reception either which made it worse for us as I had some important emails to do and could only do them by going to the lobby. I would expect that a hotel of this quality would have a better wi-fi signal but sadly, it does not. This is the only thing I was unhappy with and if I stayed again, I would request a room in the centre of the hotel.
