Had a family holiday here in Summer 2011 - hotel is less than 30 minutes by car from La Rochelle airport - arrived late first night but the kitchem provided a lovely cold meal on our private terrace- great way to start the Holiday. Accomodation is in neat small villas with Kitchens and a small courtyard / terrace - daily... More

Having read some of the reviews of other English guests I was a little worried about our holiday hotel. However I need not have been. We stayed in a villa next to the pool with sunbeds and shade. The pool was rarely full and often my daughter and her friend had it to themselves. Each villa has its own outdoor... More

My spouse and I stayed at the hotel along with my mother and our young child. We were asked to pay for our stay as soon as we arrived before we even saw our room. This is the first time I was ever asked to do that in any country- let alone France which is where I was raised. The... More

To correct earlier reviews, the half-board dinner is a five-course meal served at your table - you should arrive any time between 7 and 8.30pm. It was very good - carrot soup, a fish tart, grilled fish or chicken, cheese, apple tart. They catered really well for my gluten allergy too. We're staying in a villa which is small and... More

I stayed there late July for 4 nights. There was no choice but to book half board. Considering this you would have thought they would be skilled and experienced with their restaurant. Not so. There was very little choice for dinner. It was either what they had for the night - mostly seafood - or a steak of mediocre quality.... More

We stayed in one of the 'charming' rooms which was located next to the restaurant. Unfortunately it was extremely noisy due to the scraping of cast iron chairs in the restaurant which seemed to start at about 6.30am every morning - not very conducive to holiday lie-ins! The room itself was small and very averagely decorated. The bathroom was functional... More

This was the last leg of our three week tip around France and it was a very pleasant stay, if not a little like home, coming from Guernsey. Shame about the weather which was perfect the evening we arrived and the morning we left, but we could tell that this is a lovely island, and the hotel is a couple... More

My partner and I booked two nights at this beach front hotel on a half board basis through the hotel website. The first night was paid for at the time booking was made. When we arrived to check in at the hotel reception, which was located across the road from the hotel, we thought it was a bit odd that... More

The Hotel Plaisir ticked all the boxes - beautiful rooms, your own private courtyard with table and chairs, lovely tasteful furnishings. All the staff were happy and so helpful. Breakfast was a huge and varied buffet - you really could eat as much as you wanted if you felt so inclined. We were staying on a half board basis -... More
