Relais et Châteaux Thalasso & Spa Ile de la Lagune

My husband and I stayed at this hotel last weekend and had a friend meet us after the first night. The hotel has recently been refurbished and the rooms are all very good, with comfortable beds and soft deep pillows. Maybe a couple of finishing touches need to be addressed such as some sort of blind on the bathroom window in order to not be seen by the people in the villa type accommodation opposite. The wardrobe area in our room too had a few handles missing from the drawers, but as I said earlier I think it was in the later stages of refurb. However the staff made up for anything else as they were all very friendly and helpful. The first night we ate in the restaurant and we were welcomed by the staff on arrival and taken to our table outside with a lovely view over the small harbour. We were given 3 pre starters which we thought a bit strange, one after the other, but later discovered that they are trying to create a fine dining experience for all to enjoy. We later met the chef who was very willing to please and said he would be happy to prepare anything we wanted. The manager looked after us well too and tries very hard to see all the guests over dinner to make sure they are happy. Finally, just through the gate leading to the harbour there is a small beach with umbrella’s which would be ideal for adults and children alike and only about 20 metres from the hotel. All in all a nice break with lovely views from our balcony and excellent staff.
