Pros:

It was a lovely little hotel near the beach. We stayed off season, so it was quiet. I reserved late, so didn’t get a view of the water. I would recommend you try. Staff was helpful. Breakfast buffet provided good options and was tasty. It’s a quaint quiet town, but you can walk the beach to other towns. There are local restaurants and shops that are fun to visit.

Sauber, freundlich, direkt am strand
Pros:

Wir haben einige Tage in diesem Hotel verbracht. Das Haus ist modern, wirkt noch recht neu, und das Personal war stets freundlich und hilfsbereit. Auch die Sauberkeit im Zimmer war sehr gut.

Unser Zimmer war zum Meer hin ausgerichtet, gleichzeitig aber auch zur Straße und zu einem großen Parkplatz. An sonnigen Tagen war dieser stark frequentiert, was die Lage insgesamt weniger idyllisch machte. Am Samstagabend war es so laut, dass wir bei offenem Fenster kaum schlafen konnten – zusätzlich hatten wir laute Nachbarn. Bei geschlossenem Fenster wurde es uns schnell zu warm, aber wir haben auf Nachfrage einen Ventilator erhalten. Eine Klimaanlage gibt es nicht.

Das Frühstück war typisch französisch mit vielen süßen Speisen. Für uns war es ausreichend, auch wenn wir uns etwas Gemüse zur Auswahl gewünscht hätten.

Insgesamt ein modernes, sauberes Hotel mit sehr freundlichem Personal. Wer allerdings empfindlich auf Lärm reagiert oder Wert auf absolute Ruhe legt, sollte dies bei der Buchung berücksichtigen.

Pros:

I think due to the remoteness of the property, you should not have to pay for parking. Parking should be included in the reservation. The breakfast was fantastic, although a bit expensive. There staff are amazing and friendly.

Pros:

Très déçu du niveau, de la prise en charge, du manque d'écoute, de service client et du rapport qualité prix

qq exemples:
69€ les 45 mn pour accéder au sauna...après avoir payé 310€ la nuit ??!! Du grand n'importe quoi

autre exemple: 17€ le petit déjeuner, sans blague

overated !

Pros:

The Hôtel Spa Face à la Mer is a quaint boutique hotel on the beach/British Channel in a small town near the Normandy sites, within 45 minutes to 1.5 hours to most of the sites you would want to see in this area. The staff, rooms and breakfast were all fantastic. A very quiet peaceful town. A handful of restaurants within a few minutes walk. Highly recommend staying here.
