Côte Ouest Thalasso &Spa les Sables-d'Olonne MGallery Collection

We were not warned until about a fortnight before our arrival that an additional floor was being added. We were asked to be forgiving and that disruption would be attempted to be kept to a minimum. The external two/three tower cranes were not a problem. The work on the roof created noise and vibration at intervals. Internally the story was different where work was also being carried out to ceilings in public areas occasionally making making access difficult and on a few occasions downright dangerous. We had booked our eight hotel holiday in January, therefore we had too little notice to change anything. Access is tricky but a sat-nav copes well. Plenty of parking, four disabled bays by the main entrance, EV charging bays available. Our large, carpeted bedroom with an excellent sea and Lake Tanchet view was very comfortable. It contained 2 x 900 mm (3') beds, 42" flat-screen TV (not Smart), small refrigerator, table 2 tub chairs, 2 wardrobes, drawers and shelves. Coffee and tea making facilities. The air conditioning only produced cold air, even on cool days. The Bathroom was a good size with walk in shower. The breakfasts are excellent, oysters and sparkling wine give a clue to the overall standard with an amazing range of breads and 'sprinkles'. The indoors pool is heated to a good temperature with water jets and nick-nacks. Dedicated swimmers have a floated off area. The outdoors pool is excellent for a warm, preferably sunny, day with plenty of sunloungers available. The staff are pleasant and willing. We recognise some same faces each year. We love this hotel. We love Les Sables. We do feel that we were let down this year

We had a last minute stay at Côte-Ouest due to unforeseen circumstances. The receptionist was very welcoming and showed us around which was helpful. The staff in the bar were attentive and the food was really good. Our room was fine however being on the ground floor we couldn’t leave our patio door open overnight and it was so hot with no air conditioning unfortunately. So as well as being hot the mattress was too hard so our sleep was quite disturbed. That being said, we enjoyed our stay, used the thalasso pool and had drinks on the terrace watching the sun go down. An enjoyable stay in the main.

Stayed in this hotel on our way to Bordeaux. Welcoming and friendly staff members, good and interesting variety of food and great to have a pool. Sat out on the balcony to eat in the evening. Particularly liked the nautical themed deco. Very relaxing and would love to return
