Vendays-Montalivet accommodation from AU$125

Easy parking and check in. Room had everything required.

A l'unanimité (9 adultes), nous avons apprécié cette grande maison très bien équipée, au calme mais toutefois proche des commerces et de la plage. L'espace extérieur est tout aussi appréciable, avec un grand jardin, idéal pour que des enfants puissent jouer et une piscine. Le seul point d'amélioration à noter serait la literie, notamment lorsqu'on y séjourne pour une longue période (ici 2 semaines). Un grand merci à Estelle qui s'est occupée de nous accueillir, pour sa rapidité dans les réponses et sa gentillesse.

This hotel is the definition of “you get what you pay for” - reasonably priced in a great location, with an excellent breakfast and very good staff, so what’s missing? Firstly, the hotel has no parking and the streets all around are full of cars looking for a parking space…we spent 40 minutes looking and ended up 15 minutes walk from hotel. Next, WiFi - despite hotel saying it’s available the service doesn’t connect reliably and drops out constantly. Third, the rooms are small - although the bathroom is adequate and there’s a tiny balcony. Fourth, there’s no A/C. So that’s are the downside…the upside is location - the beach is directly across the road in front of the hotel and is a fine sandy beach that shelves gently into the water and is safe for kids. The boat harbour and ferries are a five minute walk with lots of bars and restaurants and the fabulous town market is a ten minute walk and a must-see. There’s also a spectacular walking path that follows the cliff tops north all the way round to the Casino - about three kms so if you lose all your money you can walk back to the hotel. Highly recommended.
