Part of the charm is its quietness but it may be impactful. If you arrive by public transport, as we did, it’s a 20 min walk to the bus stop to get to and from La Rochelle. It’s on the outskirts of the village, 10 mins walk to the bakery/ cafe / restaurant. So hire a bike!

I liked the staff, breakfast, spacious suite, the environmental focus of the hotel, the hot tub, the facility to hire bikes, tranquil location.it’s close to a beach (but not the sandy beaches)

30 euros a day to park a hybrid car and get a25 mile charge. Breakfast was expensive for what it was. Coffee and tea were charged as extras in the room.

Friendly relaxed and simple.

We first got a “garden” view room. This room has a bicycle parking view! We complained and quickly got the other great room. Don’t offer these rooms as garden view for these prices.

The rooms were large. We had a room looking over the vineyards with a nice terrace. Breakfast was excellent.

The decision to charge for an average jacuzzi that historically was included in the price

It is a beautiful secluded peaceful hotel

Walls are thin. If you have noisy neighbors... you'll know it ! No air conditioner. But the hotel has an ecological friendly politic. So it's a choice. The fact that the room with 2 one person beds (for kids) is on a mezzanin which was not clearly mentioned on booking for the loft. At least when you look at the pictures you can figure it out.... but it's not clearly featured. A 20€ fee for the cot which was not mentioned on booking (but is mentioned on the hotel's website)

Very good hotel. A nice breakfast Room was clean and comfortable. Near the shore. And a nice swimming pool. Thanks for the kindness of the staff for the breakfast... making it one of the best experience ever !

A lot of supplementary costs I am more used to seeing in a business hotel used for expense accounts rather than a vacation establishment. (coffee and tea in the room - nespresso capsules charges at €1.50 each, €12 parking, €17.50 breakfast, etc). A lot of rules which made us feel we were staying in someone’s home, rather than paying guests in a hotel: bikes have to be returned by 7pm, pool closes at 8pm. the entire property is no smoking or vaping. No smoking makes sense as the property is quite small and the rooms very close together, no vaping seemed a little excessive. if these rules had been stated clearly on booking.com we would have probably stayed elsewhere as vaping on the street felt uncomfortable due to the proximity of the neighbor’s homes. The entire complex was almost silent with guests quietly moving around. Very peaceful but I would have preferred more advance notice of the rules.

Very quiet and peaceful location. Beautiful complex, our room had a nice terrace, room well furnished with all amenities including shower products. A nice welcome gift of a bottle of water and some cookies. We had a loft room as 2 adults, very spacious although the access ladder was steep, especially in the middle of the night. ok for adults, I’m not sure about leaving children up there unsupervised. Very tranquil pool overlooking the vineyard with a nice jacuzzi. Check-in was smooth and the gentleman at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. Beautiful lobby area.

We paid over £300 per room per night, and on top of that were landed with charge after charge from the hotel. It was extra to have breakfast, park the car, use the little on site sauna, and borrow the hotel's own bikes. Compared with the place we stayed with after this in the Loire Valley where generosity was everywhere including small but important things like free large bottles of water we did feel rather fed up and sadly it coloured our experience of the stay overall.

Lovely small hotel - very tidy, modern, clean. Comfortable beds. Prettily decorated rooms. Good seaside feel. Our children had an adjoining room with kitchenette. The Il de Re is fun for cycling and we explored about half the island by bike on our first day. The staff were helpful in finding restaurants for supper, especially as it was a busy season and everywhere was quite full. We accidentally chose to have supper by the port in St Martin de Re on the same night that islanders and holiday makers flocked there for late night fireworks, so that was an added bonus!

Tea, coffee and water should be free. Unclear about jacuzzi, sauna facilities. Again, should not be charged extra for this. Should consider adult only pool time. Lots of children.

Clean room and lovely quiet area. Liked that it was eco friendly.

All the little extras which feel quite expensive (parking, Breakfast) especially considering it is not cheap in the first place. Would suggest to include this in the rates. You are also quite a walk from any shop or restaurant but we were surprised by a well kitted out mini Kitchenette which was very useful to have.

Wonderful little Hotel in beautiful setting at the end of the village just a stroll through some vineyards to get onto a beach great for looking for crabs and seashells. For swimming we drove 10mins up the coast to the bigger sand beaches. Room was well laid out and the children enjoyed they own space in the mezzanine level and a little pool time. Nice staff, nice breakfast.

Stayed in July 2022

quite basic for the price - you are paying for the location which is fabulous. teething problems mainly language related. for example we only found out at check out breakfast was half price for our son, rather than full price which we were told when we arrived. (we ended up going to the boulangerie every morning which was great) we rented bikes from the town because the hotel had none available - again this was cheaper. it would be really useful to have a resource in the room explaining with a bit more detail how you get the bus to St Martin and how you get back after dinner! maybe some phone numbers for taxis. maybe more advice on booking restaurants (which is vital!) a hotel like this could pool advice from other visitors to make it an easier stay

stunning peaceful location. we loved our time here and the other guests always seemed friendly. it reminded us a little of being on a campsite but with nice quiet rooms.

Modern basin, but no plug so I couldn't shave with it. I would suggest the management offer their own car to transport guests like us to and from the Paradis bus stop. Asking us to walk 20 minutes with our bags in blazing heat is not a good idea and yet cars should be discouraged from the island, so guests like us are what you want.

Quiet. Very good staff. Pool

Stayed in June 2022

Hot water is finished during the time when I was having a shower in the evening. I suppose, it happened because of a lot of guests came into the hotel on that day. It was once during our small 3 days holidays.

Hotel is really good, clean and comfortable rooms. It was convenient to have a small kitchen in the room for preparing meal. There is very beautiful territory around the hotel. The ocean is magic! My son was happy to have his bed on 2nd floor :)

Great hotel and very pleasant staff.

It was pretty cold in the room but as the heating hadn’t been turned on at the hotel, there was no way to warm it up. A portable heating solution would have been welcome as it really was cold, even though it was September.

Beautiful and very quiet location. Very clean room and bathroom.

Overly unctuous staff. Nickel and dime for everything (2Euro for a tea bag in the room to brew tea?) out of the way location- we had to drive to anything interesting.

Comfortable bed. Nice private terrace.

Paid double the cost for tourist tax. So the administration could be better.

Some minor comments: - The functioning of the food-related additions could be more clear (eg what is in the snack corner, what can be ordered and how in panier-déjeuner, etc) - The tea and coffee to be paid in the room, the SPA-zone entrance to be paid (it wasn’t surprise, since it was clear before booking, but for sure it is something that would improve experience of the stay) - It would be good to provide additional towels for the swimming pool

In general it was really great stay, but it’s worth to mention: - Calmness and good location nearby the ocean - Quality of service and kindness and helpfulness of hosts - Clean swimming pool with beautiful view on vineyard - Comfortable, clean and big rooms - Helping in finding and booking restaurants on the island

Internet is due to be improved but isn’t yet.

Nice hotel at the outskirts of Sainte-Marie with a stunning view on the surrounding vineyards. Well equipped rooms. Perfect location to discover the island by bike. Breakfast with lots of bio treats.
