CERISE Royan - Le Grand Hôtel de la Plage

The hotel is across the road from the beach so sea view rooms have a marvellous view, great to wake up to when you draw the curtains. The staff were all friendly and helpful, with a 24hr night porter for those returning later. Good continental buffet breakfast with the option of scrambled egg and bacon. Rooms spacious and clean with bath and over bath shower, all in good order.

The hotel is good value, with a prime location. Only two facilities lacking were a bar area to meet/wait for friends and a lack of dedicated parking., although there is a car park about 200m away.

Safe parking, for a small fee, very good reception, with a lift to upper floors. Location fantastic for the whole beachfront. Rooms exceptionally clean and comfortable. We didn't eat breakfast but it looked very good and varied. Some side rooms have good sea views, some comfy couches in the reception hall if you want to sit and read a book on a sofa on some lazy afternoons.

Rooms at front and side can be a little noisy as traffic flow is continuous, air conditioning good as it could be too hot to open windows.

This is a perfect location to get for a break away from routine. The rooms have lovely warm colours unlike most cold hotel rooms. You have the perfect view of the bay. The hotel is near many great restaurants and bars. We went in winter and the room was very warm. We could hear the waves crash on the shore in the evenings. Staff were very kind. Our room was well cleaned every morning.

The breakfast was average but really very good for a 3* hotel. The bathtub is small but again very good for a 3* hotel. TV channels limited but TV isn’t necessary when you have a beautiful ocean to visit. It’s difficult to complain to be honest! I’d stay there again if I visited Royan again.

We loved the location away from the major centre of Royan and on a beautiful beach. Staff were all helpful. Breakfast was very good of a bit expensive. Good secure underground parking.

The only thing I disliked was the WiFi - one of those silly systems that takes all your details then when you have finished your work and come back later the WiFi demands you go through the registration process again. Come on guys make it simpler.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the rooms and facilities were spotless and well maintained. Breakfast is delicious with a lovely sea view. Highly recommend, very relaxing and hotel has air-conditioning which is apparently quite rare in the area!

This is the second time that we have used this hotel. It is in a great location and has a car park facility.

We have no complaints

Outstanding location. Sea view from room and breakfast room : super!

We parked on street without problem, but would probably prefer private parking on next visit.

Perfect situation. Great to spend the extra on a sea view room as it is so relaxingly time-wasting!

It is being renovated, will take some time but will be great once finished

View of the Plage. Roomy room, Great Location. Like a journey back in time to when these things were "normal" in a summer holiday.

Nothing

location was excellent

noisy waterworks and very tight parking facility
