Hôtel de Ré, The Originals Boutique

A nice greeting from the reception staff as you arrived. Check in smooth and simple. Very nice clean and compact room with an excellent bathroom.Situated in a very quiet area not far from the nearest beach and a pleasant walk to the village through narrow winding streets. The pool is good,clean with clear water get in before the kids arrive from a day out. breakfast is good value and more than adequate order on arriving. All the staff are very friendly and amicable and ensure you have a comfortable stay. On the whole we had a great stay.

We are a family of 3, stayed at this hotel on Ile de Re for 4 days in Sep 2013. Found our 3-bed apartment (with kitchenette) to be clean, tidy and well-maintained; staff were helpful and friendly. The hotel is organised as a collection of apartments around a lovely blue pool in the middle. Inexpensive but sturdy bicycles with child seats were available to rent at the hotel. Location was good: beaches close by, but closest restaurants and shops 15/20 minute walk into St. Marie De Re town centre. The hotel served breakfast (not included in price) but no lunch/dinner.

Friendly staff, clean hotel with a beautifully maintained pool and decking area. Also, fully secure (and free) parking plus free WiFi - absolute bargain. The rooms were spotlessly clean on arrival and were kept that way throughout our 4 night stay. The buffet breakfast was a great start to to the day, with wonderful fresh fruit salad, amazing bread and cheese, cereals, yoghurts and pastries to share. The children loved the pool (open 10-8) and despite the hotel being full it was never crowded. The centre of Sainte Marie itself is a short walk, and the beach is 5 minutes away. We hired bikes and cycled to La Flotte (20 minutes) and St Martin (30 minutes) for the day. Hope to stay here again.

Great ,fresh, modern hotel with very good family rooms. We stayed in small appartment. Parking secure. Very nice pool with safety fence surrounding it. Good breakfast. Very good concept and exceptionally clean, fresh and tidy with helpful staff.

Nice hotel but probably suits families better. However, Sainte Marie although charming is very quiet and there is a distinct lack of restaurants in the town. A car is required to drive elsewhere on the island to dine. Only one glass was provided in a double room and a request for a second glass was met with surprise - we were told only one glass is normally supplied in the rooms. It would also be good if the hotel provided swimming towels.
