Résidence Pierre & Vacances l'Archipel

I noted some of the criticisms of this hotel before booking. I have to say though that we had a great experience. First of all it is in a perfect location, just set back from the beach at le Trestrao, to the west of Perros Guirec. All of the cafes and restaurants on the promenade are easily within reach, as is a small supermarket and the superb boulangerie around the corner. Therefore there were plenty of great dining options. The bedroom was spacious and the beds were comfortable. The kitchenette was perfect, as you had everything you needed to prepare simple meals to supplement dining out whenever you wished. We also appreciated the secure off-road parking The staff - especially Svetlana, were friendly and helpful, as well as very professional. We were very grateful to have also benefited from an upgrade and found the sitting area to be a real benefit, the convertible sofa was comfortable and having the balconies a bonus, especially when we were surprised to witness an incredible display of aerobatics from a squadron of fighter jets, as part of an aerial display over the weekend of our stay. We have stayed at quite a few 4 star hotels and paid 4 star prices and have come to realise that a lot are a triumph of style over substance. Pierre et Vacance provides a very nice play to stay, in a great location and delivers good value. If you want style over substance, there are lots of options further along the beach! We will not only return, as Perros Guirec and the Granite coast are a delight, but will also be seeking out Pierre et Vacance at their other locations.
