Résidence Vacances Bleues Le Grand Large

The location is handy, close to the city center, but I was disappointed by the stay. The building feels old and outdated, and there was no air conditioning. The room got uncomfortably hot, and the fan they provided was noisy and partly broken. There was mold on the bathroom ceiling. The toilet didn't have a sink for washing your hands.

I had a spacious room with a double bed and bunk bed, plus a sofa, table and chairs, kitchen sink, and fridge. Power points were spaced around the room, and the sea view was amazing. The separate toilet was tiny; the bathroom was small too, though the sink was usable and the shower had enough pressure. The location is really good, close to the seafront and the bars and restaurants in the town center. Don't pay €22 for a taxi from the airport: buses stop a 7-8 minute walk from the hotel and cost €1.10. I stayed four nights and the room wasn't cleaned once. I mentioned it at checkout. As a solo male traveler I wasn't too fussed, and they said it's like renting an apartment, so they don't enter until checkout. I hadn't realized that when I booked, though maybe that was on me. I got one large towel, one smaller one, and a hand towel for all four nights. The room had no drinks, and when I went down late one night to buy bottled water, they had none left to sell. Some staff were friendly and some miserable. It had a lot going for it, but for a three-star hotel I'd expect at least one cleaning in four nights and more towels.

The location made it easy to explore, with shops, cafes and bars tucked along the nearby little streets. The hotel feels a bit old-fashioned, but it was super clean, and our room was a great size. We liked having a handy kitchenette for food, and the bed was cozy. Staff were really friendly, and the pool was nice too. Just be ready for a very deep pool, even at the shallow end, so you need to be able to swim.

That sea view was incredible, and there was a little balcony too. The room was clean and nice, and the bed was comfortable. Service was okay, but I had a rude experience at reception when I asked where breakfast was. They said I had to pay first, even though I hadn't told them my room number or that breakfast was included, and they wouldn't even let me explain. The place and the view are everything.
