Emeria Dinard Hotel Thalasso & Spa

Fantastic ocean view location, excellent breakfast buffet with fresh oysters, free easy access parking. Comfortable bed and bedding. Big shampoo/shower gel bottles.

The room, especially the bathroom was dirty in the corners by the tiles and smelled a bit. Spiderweb visible in the room. It’s a great property but more time need to be invested in the cleaning and upkeep. The pool area was dark (why frosted glass so you can’t see the amazing view outside?) and weird that you had to go through the gym to access the terrace outside.

Beautiful location and views across the bay, with a lovely terrace to sit and admire the scenery. The cost of room, drinks & food is high but you are paying for the location. I left an item in the room by mistake and the hotel found it and have a system in place so you can arrange it to be posted to you (at a cost) which was good.

It is a spa hotel but they had no availability for any spa treatments for the two days we were there. I even emailed a few days ahead to try and book but they had none to offer. Paying a fairly high price to stay at a spa hotel and not having that facility was a disappointment. When I asked the spa receptionist her response was a fairly unapologetic shrug. My feedback to the hotel concierge was that they should contact guests a couple of weeks ahead about booking or hold some slots back for residents as it was a key purpose of our stay. The food was good quality though expensive, my vegetarian husband had little choice but that’s true across France. The sun bed outside our room cigarette burns in it.

the swimming pool and spa area is just amazing! I'll come back for that; Dinner is expensive but very tasty.

1. breakfast is not worth the price at all! very limited choices (no vegetables, no fresh orange juice, no pancake or waffle, nothing special from Bretagne, few types of basic fruits only...). I paid 20 euros and I won't take it next time for sure. 2. When i checked in, they took my credit card to reserve the cost and this credit reserve was blocked in my credit card for 30 days after check out and payment and there's no way to solve it but waiting for 30 days...

The location is amazing - we had a sea front garden room and the views are brilliant. Definitely worth paying extra for. The rooms are spacious and airy. The spa facilities are open 8am-8pm and were lovely - very relaxing. It’s an easy 10 min walk to restaurants close by in St Enogat but also just 10 minutes more to the main part of Dinard.

We didn’t eat at the hotel - breakfast at €22 each was too expensive when we both only want juice, coffee and a croissant- would be good to have a lighter option available. There were 2 restaurants available for dinner - the main one had too many extra supplements for different options that it was hard to see the true price and the other one had a complicated menu that I didn’t understand! (and my French is reasonable). It was therefore easier to go to St Enogat where there were excellent restaurants.

Our second stay at this hotel was a pleasant confirmation about our fond memories :) Except this time was in Summer (first occasion was early January years ago) so we could enjoy thoroughly going outside for short or long strolls beside enjoying the hotel facilities and its great spa area (1 swimming pool about 20m long, one pool for 'jaccuzi' and various jets, one big sauna and a bigger hammam, a deck to relax outside and a fitness room with a view of the ocean. Most of the rooms (except those labelled 'garden') in the hotel offer a fantastic view of the ocean (first picture as an example) and we probably never closed our window at night to enjoy the marine air and quiet environment. If all that is not enough, the hotel has two restaurants. The first One, O Sense, is OK with good service and food. The second one, l'Arsaour, is our favorite in Dinard (which host numerous great place to eat) - the chef prepares the dishes just behind the counter, all is fresh and innovative, and tasty. Fantastic atmosphere, great service and cosy (small tables only, second picture), I hope they keep it this way.

The only con, but you know it when you book, is the price. But the ratio price/quality is decent when you take in account all the pro's !

Fantastic location and view from the bar terrasse, being able to bring our dog and be all together on the terrasse for breakfast ! Thanks to Marc from the reception for being so accommodating at check in, all the staff was lovely, it was overall à very Nice expérience

The kettle in the bedroom was old and could be changed, the swimming pool area could do with à bit of work, paint, etc...it doesn't have the 4 stars feeling.

amazing breakfast, very scenic views/location, great for walks, salt water pool a great feature the salt water pool, although at first a bit weird, turned out to be a great boon for relaxing swimming, especially for the kids on their next step to autonomous swimming with the salt water keeping them afloat

sauna and hammam not for kids under 16, which we didn't think was necessary (our kids are sauna proven and would have loved to be able to relax there) Location a bit away from st. Malo, at least 20 minutes by car

Quiet hotel in a lovely location near St Malo. Great for couples with no children and for a relaxing hotel stay. Fully equipped with everything you need for a resort facility. We were quietly surprised at how lovely the resort is appointed…

Bathroom was very small. Very little privacy on the lower floor balcony for a beach front room.

Our room overlooked the garden and was a very good size, it was booked as a garden room, with small balcony. It was spacious and had a kitchenette discreetly behind sliding doors, with a microwave and fridge and crockery, as well as a kettle , really good. A good bathroom with a bath which is always a bonus. The hotel is beautifully situated on the cliff top and the spa and swimming pool is fabulous, lots of outside areas to enjoy coffee or breakfast on a warm day. The hotel feels luxurious, and so well priced. The hotel’s public areas are very spacious and there is a lovely quiet area to read books, and a shop. You can walk into Dinard via the beach, would recommend. A really super breakfast is served in their lovely dining room overlooking the sea. Hot English breakfast, along with oysters and speciality breads, cake and croissants.

The TV stations were very limited, but not a problem

Wonderful fantastic position in front of the ocean. Great terrace!

They ask 23 € per day if you have a dog but it’s not clear for which services. In the Restaurant and breakfast area (except for terraces) they cannot enter.
