Evancy Bray-Dunes Etoile de mer

The sea-facing location and wonderful view were a highlight, and we enjoyed our stay. The balcony and apartment can fit up to four people, but six would be too many. The extra bunk-bed room is really a windowless closet, while the other two bedrooms are tiny, though usable despite barely having space to walk around the double beds. The kitchenette had what we needed. Cleaning was poor: dust was under the table and bed, the back windows were dirty, clothes from the previous guest were still in the drawer beneath the bunk bed, and there was mold in the shower. We liked the key system, but getting hold of the organization is difficult if something goes wrong.

Room A52 had a great view and we could hear the waves, but the apartment was overpriced and there was no helpful problem solving or customer service. We stayed two nights. Internet didn't work, and even 4G coverage wasn't stable, so streaming music or Netflix was out, and even reading the newspaper was difficult. There was no oven, and I couldn't figure out how to use the microwave. The sofa was worn out, the terrace was very narrow, and the twin bed was narrow too. The listing for six people is misleading if more than four adults are sharing, as the extra beds are for kids.

The location was a highlight, just 200 metres from the beach. The room was decent, but the sofa was awful: very old, with its faux leather coming apart.

We won't stay at this hotel again. The staff were unfriendly and their English was very poor. The dishwasher still didn't work after someone came twice to repair it, and the Wi-Fi was very bad. There was only enough hot water for about half an hour of showers a day, then it ran out. I wouldn't recommend this place.
