Saint-Palais-sur-Mer hotels

Pros: The overall comfort and cleanliness. Superbly appointed. Very friendly family owned chambre d'hote. Very private and secure.

Cons: No dislikes. Possibly but not essential English news channel would have been welcome

Pros: Ambiance and quality of food during continental breakfast was enjoyable & tasty. Swimming pool area very pleasant & relaxing. The size of the bathroom & shower was comfortable. Foosball and ping pong table were fun to use.

Cons: Parking is a bit complicated. The beaches are not in easy walking distance (2 km away).

Pros: Lovely environment, breakfast served by Richard who is a fabulous host, friendly owners who recommended the best places to visit and restaurants to eat. Made sure we had everything we needed. Towels changed frequently and hovered during our stay. Breakfast very enjoyable. Nice and quiet location but walkable to the beaches and eating, drinking places. Smart place to stay.

Cons: We stayed for 7 nights and found hanging space for clothes a little limited.

Pros: Well kept rooms in self contained unit. Coffee machine. Fabulous breakfast with home made yogurt and locally made jams. Friendly host.

Pros: Amazing place and the best breakfast that we had during our roundtrip in France! The pool is perfect for swimming and the garden a nice, relaxing place. I recommend this place to everyone.

Pros: Friendly and knowledgable host , good breakfast and comfortable room

Pros: Quirky

Cons: Too far from restaurants

Pros: The staff where exceptional,

Cons: There was nothing about this hotel we did not like, it was clean, friendly people running it, and location excellent.

Pros: Myself, my mother and younger sister had a wonderful stay at Hotel Colinette. The hotel is perfectly located, close enough to Royan and St. Georges to explore both areas. The rooms are very clean, nicely decorated, and the beds are very comfortable. The breakfast is also very good value and set you up nicely for the day.. The owners are really attentive and with their limited English will try to help as much as possible. We were running late for our train on the final day and with the marathon on the same day no taxis were able to reach us in time, so the owners offered to give us a lift. Personal touches like that prove how much they care about their customers. If you want a nice relaxing stay just 50 metres away from the beach, this is just the place!

Pros: Tastefully decorated in beach style. Far better than a budget hotel

Pros: Everything

Cons: nothing

Pros: Lovely hotel in a fantastic location. Would definitely return

Pros: Very well located for the beach, but not on the busy promenade itself. Biking distance to restaurants. Secure storage for our bikes. Comfortable well-equipped rooms.

Cons: Clean

Pros: Very helpful proprietors who printed off local bus times etc. Excellent value buffet breakfast. Small family hotel close to the beach yet on a quiet road.

Pros: Very friendly and super helpful staff.

Cons: It was a little hard to find.

Pros: The room was functional with a modern outlook and a good bed and shower. The breakfast offered sufficient choice, including home made yoghurt and French cheeses.

Cons: The room was quite small - not much space to put your luggage. There was only one window (50x50 cm) which could not be opened. The first night the temperature was really high in the apartment, after a hot day. The host advised us to leave the door open, but even then sleep was impeded. The next day the host placed a fan in the apartment, which was helpful, but would have been better one day before. The 'balcony' is not a private balcony, but the general access area to the apartment and the neighbouring apartment on the first floor.

Pros: Lovely rooms and gardens Very clever use of space and colour Breakfast in garden in the sunshine was lovely

Pros: The rooms are very pleasant as well as the exterior space. A small kitchen was also available for the guests. For us with a baby, very practical.

Cons: Breakfast

Pros: Location overlooking the beach and fortunate to have the ‘best seat in the house’ for the 14 July celebrations with the fireworks on the beach directly in front of us. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Although ‘bijou’ the room was as expected if not more and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. We recommend it.

Cons: If there was any downside it was that the WiFi,albeit free, would regularly lose connection and had difficult user name and password codes to remember.

Highly recommended.

Cons: Breakfast team , not as friendly

Pros: Lovely quiet location.

Cons: Breakfast set up and layout of chairs and tables were very poor making it extremely difficult to access breakfast buffet. Quality of breakfast was only mediocre. Could do much better.

Pros: Excelent location only two steps from the beach and the sea. Very quiet surroundings with lots of chairs to relax in. Spacious room and clean bathroom. The staff was always cordial and available to help.

Cons: A bit disapointed with the room, probably due to our request for the triple room, we were given a room at the main house that was clearly needing some renewal work, that is understandable on an ancient building like this. Nevertheless this it is not shown on the pictures published of the hotel (only the new renewed rooms and wc's are shown).

Pros: Location.

Cons: Walls of the room were very thin. We could hear every single sound of guests next door. Having stayed at the hotel several times previously but in different rooms to this one, we had no problems.

Pros: Swimming pool and breakfast. Bar lady at pool was very good

Cons: Narrow dark corridors to get to room (fire hazard). Walking Noises from room above. Terrace outside bathroom but not accessible unless climbing out of window!

Pros: We booked our room only an hour before we arrived having been let down by another establishment earlier that evening. We received a warm welcome and our room was ready on arrival. This proved to be a great B&B with off road parking, buffet breakfast and comfortable double room. It's located in quiet residential area so that a car is essential to access shops, restaurants and get to the beach.

Cons: There was a block on the waste pipe from our bathroom sink but this was quickly remedied by the proprietor while we had breakfast.

Pros: This property is lovely. Beautifully clean and thoughtfully designed, everything matched (girlie thing). It was a continentail breakfast all food was fresh and the hostess was most helpful.

Pros: the room was nothing like you advertise it as there was nothing we really liked.

Pros: Very welcoming, wouldn't hesitate to recommend

Pros: Very comfortable room.

Cons: This is really a wonderful restaurant with rooms. Unfortunately after a long day of travelling the last thing we wanted was a Michelin-starred restaurant but I missed this on the website. The reception desk was not open when we were ready to leave the next morning (7.45am) causing us a delayed start to our travels. This property is not for the passer-by but rather for a planned stay!

Pros: Beautiful room, peaceful and cool thanks to the air-con which was definitely needed as temperatures soared during our stay to 35 degrees. The restaurant was shut on the night we visited, but it looked fantastic. Breakfast was wonderful with plenty of choice.

Cons: The property is quite a way out of town, and whilst we didn't want to drive, we ending up having no option as the taxi we booked failed to materialise. There is nothing going on in the village, didn't even see a shop, so when we wanted a bottle of wine to take back to the room, we had to buy it from a pizzeria in the next village.

Pros: A very warm welcome, the hotel is ideal for a one night stop over and has a first class restaurant,

Cons: A couple of bottles of water in the room, would have been nice.

Pros: Very clean and comfortable.

Cons: Nothing to note. For a one-night stay as I had, everything was fine. Thank you!

Pros: The location, facilities, and friendly stafff.a

Pros: Quiet, clean and good breakfast

Cons: The mattresses were very poor. The room was dark. The mezzanine was built on metallic beams and a concrete staircase had been added; as a result the room had lost a lot of its charm and was very dark. The bath upstairs was very impractical and the shower room and toilet downstairs were very narrow. The initial welcome was very cold although it warmed up the following day. Be aware that check in is not before 17.00 ( not 16.00 as advertised on Booking.com). Although you will have to pay cash, be sure to insist on a full invoice and receipt which the owners seem reluctant to give.

Pros: Lovely accommodation with superb continental breakfast. The host was absolutely delightful, very friendly and helpful. She made us feel so welcome. The gardens to the property are lovely and so is the swimming pool although the weather was poor so we didn't have chance to use it unfortunately. Each bedroom has a private table and chairs outside its front door which is an excellent touch if you wish to sit outside and have a drink and a bite to eat. An added bonus was the provision of a fridge which all guests could utilise.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Breakfast was lovely and Nadine is a great host. The garden is a very relaxing place to sit and the pool is lovely and clean.

Pros: The staff at the hotel were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The dinner was outstanding along with the service.

Cons: Would have liked a small bar fridge to keep our water cold and our snacks, however seems to be hard to find a hotel in France that offers this. Extremely common in Australia.

Pros: The breakfast that is offered to the client is fit for a king! Vast choice with both the elements of the traditional French breakfast but also some of the stalwart elements of a Brit/American breakfast. Gastronomique! The location of the hotel couldn't be better to enjoy the top restaurants in Royan and only a few minutes on foot to the beautiful white sanded beach of "La Grande Conche". Even though the hotel is in the center of town no blasting noise level to impede with a good night's sleep. Very satisfied - will come back!

Cons: Would advise to put some non-slip bath mats in the bathtubs for better footing when taking a shower in the rooms equipped with bath-tubs. Could be a safety measure for the older clients.

Pros: Literally a last minute booking, we were outside, we had a space on the road right outside but parking may be difficult at busy times, Royan has lovely beaches and many places to eat of all types. We were travelling back to home in Spain so only stayed a night but it is a place we may well return to for longer.

Cons: Bathroom was nice and modern a bit tight for space but great shower.
