This modern hotel tucked into a small side street in Biarritz has large, comfortable rooms overlooking the sea. Although the feel of the hotel isn't posh, it's a great choice when visiting the Basque Country. Gorgeous pool and spa are worth a visit. More

professional and were happy to recommend restaurants and planned a self drive sightseeing tour when we asked. The hotel had a large lobby, the rooms were not big but very luxurious and comfortable (bed was amazing) with a lovely bathroom. We paid extra for a sea view terrace that was big enough to relax on and worth the extra. Even... More

I stayed here for a Thalassa Spa getaway, as part of a weeklong trip to the Basque Coast. As many have already stated, the location is perfect. It’s situated right off of a town thoroughfare, and just along a pathway that runs along the beaches. Also, Biarritz is a great base to explore the Basque countryside, and to reiterate a... More

The Sofitel Thalassa has a lovely situation by and overlooking the sandy beach. It has an excellent heated (28 degrees C.) 25 metre outdoor seawater pool as well as an indoor heated seawater pool.

There has been a lot of negative reviews about... More

We stayed here in July with my 13 year old daughter and her dog. The hotel is right on the beach and has a heated outdoor pool overlooking the beach as well as an indoor pool. The bedrooms are modern and spacious and the beds amazingly comfortable however when we were allocated our bedrooms both smelt strongly of smoke although... More

Facilities excellent , also for children .Service poor in comparison to other Sofitels. The rooms were lovely, clean and large to accompany to adults and a child. Location was wonderfula as it was a very very sort walk to a lovely beach. Swimming pool and surroundings were wonderful. More

Booked as a special part of our recent summer holiday in the Basque Country. Expensive for what you get, great location and comfy beds but staff distant and unfriendly. Excellent sauna, hammam, pools. Right on the beach but sea views can be limited. More

ok - it is a big corporate hotel, 10 mins walk from central Biariritz, on the beach, has a great pool, rooms with fantastic views and i'm sure it a 4/5* in any criteria and everything it says in the blurb is true. It has free wifi, tv's that work and i'm sure there will be a trouser press somewhere.......but... More
