Wonderful view from our room located on the top floor of the hotel.
We had the opportunity to bathe in the sea salt swimming pool and benefit from the hammam and sauna.
Very well located with a direct access to the beach.

The spa was very good and we used it daily .desk staff were friendly and helpful.
Parking is off site, free and 5 min walk away. Sea view suite was clean, bed comfortable, fluffy towels, outdoor jacuzzi was good but the cover didn't fit, carpet was tired and need of replacement. Spa, be prepared both men and women are required to wear swimming caps! Spa is not a 5 star, tired, rusty in places, sauna was ok but not very hot. Restaurant staff, dinner and cocktails were excellent.
If you like swimming in the sea, this hotel is for you! It is located directly at the beach, just walk out and swim. People are very friendly. Breakfast is tasty and you have a lot of choices. You can walk to Douarnenez. And you can find many nice places to eat in walking distance.
We had two rooms. The location is good but the service is a bit slow and it would be nice to have more details about the use of the spa before one books the hotel. The reception needs to work more on the communication with the clients.

No portage. No bar. Very expensive for what we got.
Shaving mirror far to high.
Reception friendly and efficient.
Don’t stay if you don’t use the spa.

Unfortunately the front desk staff has an attitude, and bizarrely, apparently they lied to several guest by saying hat the restaurant was full; but when we came back in the evening, we saw the restaurant almost empty, the waiters confirmed the restaurant had not been full at all, rather the opposite. and then we witnessed another guest complaining at the front desk for the same thing, it appeared they had been lied to as well. An older man at the front desk does have a nasty attitude, and is followed by an older female colleague who does the same. The establishment is let down by run down facilities, some areas really are not clean, terrasses, bathroom screens and corners in our room, the terrasse screen..covered in bird s... fortunately we only paid for one night, so we will quickly forget this experience. The town also has an eerie feel, and the locals do not seem to value tourism here.

Sommante qu’il n’y ai plus de matériel de musculation
Tout était parfait dans notre chambre. Fort heureusement nous avions le jacuzzi dans notre suite car il y avait énormément de monde au spa.
Le cadre est très joli et les personnes de l'hôtel très bien.

Moisissures dans la douche, mauvais état de la tete de douche. Inadmissible pour un hotel 4 étoiles Thalasso.
séjour très agréable chambre parfaite avec vue sur la baie .Nous avons bien profité de la piscine et des bains à remous. Seul bémol nous n'avons pas pu diner le soir car on n'avait pas réservé. Fallait t'il le préciser au moment ou j'ai fait la réservation. Je ne sait pas.
zu wenig Personal für Zimmerservice und beim Frühstück. Restaurantgrösse passt nicht zu Bettenzahl. Restaurant nur für VP-Bucher da, nie Platz bekommen
Très bel hôtel, la qualité des équipements et les services est top, malgré que le personnel ne soit pas très réactif et accueillant
Des informations complémentaires sur le petit-déj’, le restaurant de l’hôtel ou l’accès à la piscine auraient été nécessaires
Service excellent. Restaurant très bon. Localisation top.
Manque quelques finitions et détails (peinture etc) pour faire passer au niveau encore supérieur.
Nous reviendrons
