Family-friendly Hotels in Biarritz

The good: It is clean. The mattress is comfortable. The TV and WiFi work. The airport is very close. The bad: The hotel is showing its age. It is more of a motel than a hotel. There is no elevator. The outdoor walkways and spiral staircases are not well-lit. The rooms are very small. The pillows are bad. No bar soap is provided, but there are soap dispensers on the wall in the bathroom, by the sink and in the bathtub. There are no washcloths, however. How does one use liquid soap with no washcloth? The ugly: The toilet. Probably not a big issue if you are alone in the room, but if there is a second person, be aware that the toilet tank requires a minimum of ten minutes to refill between flushes. When asked about it, the employees at the reception desk acknowledged this was an issue in all rooms. We would definitely look for a different option next time we have to fly out of Biarritz.

Our stay at the Hotel du Palais was an absolute dream. Upon arrival, we were upgraded to an oceanfront room, which was nothing short of breathtaking. We arrived on my husband's birthday and walking in to this view was the perfect surprise! All of the staff were warm, welcoming, and went out of their way to ensure we had a memorable experience. A special thanks to Emma from the concierge team, who helped us with both a restaurant reservation and arranging a rental car – her assistance made everything so easy. We highly recommend having dinner at La Rotonde, where the food is delicious, and the setting is simply elegant. A drink at the Bar Napoleon III is also a must – the atmosphere is cozy and their cocktail menu is fantastic! We spent some relaxing afternoons by the pool, enjoying the ocean views from the lounge chairs, which added to the overall luxurious experience. If you can, we also recommend 1/2 day trips to St Jean de Luz and St Jean Pied de Port. Two adorable villages (very different from each other), and easy drives. We couldn't be happier with our stay, and hope to return one day!

I rate the Sofitel a 3 but it’s really only a 2 if I was to only judge the hotel. The location and the pool were the absolute highlight’s and for this we give a 5! Biarritz has a stunning coastline but please spend your money elsewhere! This hotel pretends to be a 5 star hotel with wellness spa. Thank goodness I had not planned my trip around the spa itself. I think if this was in Australia, it would be shut down. When you take the lift to the spa , you arrive into a waste land! Depending on which way you arrive, it is a rabbit warren of empty corridors, closed doors with French signage! I couldn’t even find the toilet. After paying $700 AUD for 3 treatments, you would expect a warm welcome, and someone assisting you to your next treatment. No not here, you are on your own (naked in a robe) trying to ask for directions to the next room however nobody speaks English. My treatment was booked with a Physiotherapist however I think she was barely qualified for a massage! Highlights from my family were the soft robes and spacious rooms, big beds with cozy mattresses toppers and soft linen. Great valet and reception but that’s it for service. Pool is saltwater and perfectly cool! We could not find the indoor pool

This hotel stands proud near the lighthouse in beautiful Biarritz. We expected great things , not put off at all by the position of the hotel as we are fit and well and enjoyed the walk into town and back . We did not like our first room which was very small . To be honest I think if I was critical the hotel could do much better on their website explaining the room set up . We like a king bed which we got , but there was not enough storage space and no walking around space at all . Reception dealt with our request well and my husband checked the room an ocean suite which was lovely but after we got unpacked I realised the room was huge but the bed was a normal double . My hubby at this point refused to move again so we put up with it for the 4 days . We did pay for the upgrade . I like a hotel that explains what you get . Eg cosy room Etc which was what our first room certainly was . On to better things . The staff first and foremost were fabulous very cheery and helpful . The pool was gorgeous and we enjoyed a few hours every afternoon sitting out . Breakfast was good but not great . Would have loved a fresh cooking station for omelettes fresh eggs .. no variety the exact same every day and where were the glorious French baguettes and croissants. None in sight except tiny croissants that to be honest were not that great . We had one dinner In Frenchie restaurant which was absolutely fabulous best of stay . Finally to end the hotel is good overall but I thought it lacked a bit of atmosphere. It was quiet, piano player one night but not enough for us to stay in more than the one night . It’s a shame . Biarritz is amazing just can’t quite decide if I would stay in the Regina again.

The Hotel le Windsor Grande Plage Biarritz was a pleasure to stay at. From the time we checked in early until our checkout they were helpful and attentive. We had a super nice room overlooking the beach and very much enjoyed watching the waves roll in. The staff was extra ordinary and saw to our every need. The room was kind of small but we had what they called a double but was at least a Queen sized bed and the shower was great. All in all a great one night stay.

A lovely little place that far exceeded our expectations. I stayed in a 2 berth self-contained studio apartment with balcony and a very well-equipped little kitchen area. The beds were really comfortable, and the whole place was ultra clean. The locale of Pierre Vacances is ideal as it is situated in a very peaceful area but only a stones throw from the main beach. It is also really close to the main restaurants, bars and shops. The underground car park was appreciated as we rented a car for most of the duration of our stay. All the staff were really friendly, especially the receptionists, who were very polite, helpful, and efficient. Can’t wait to visit again in 2023. Stephen Fulham, London SW6

We very much enjoyed our week and a half at the hotel. Very close to good beaches, excellent restaurants and shops. The hotel is in a pedestrianised square so very little traffic. The staff were very pleasant and helpful. The room was comfortable and clean. We had a lovely view of the sea from our room. The breakfasts were delicious and plentiful. The decor of the hotel was very tasteful. It was also very clean. The chilled water and pastries left in the lobby each day after breakfast were a nice touch. I would happily stay at this love.y hotel again

My wife and I had a wonderful time here.The Hotel facilities are first class complemented by impeccable design.But what makes this Hotel different to any other we have stayed in (and we have travelled!) is the Team.Caring,attentive,professional and fun! They are world class.Thank you for making our final stop on our tour of Pays Basque so special.Stephen & Wendy xx
