Novotel Thalassa Oléron Saint-Trojan

You cant get better location, on a huge sand beach. If you can, get a room with ocean view. If you like walking or running, you can easliy do a 8-10km directly from the hotel. Breakfast choice is fine with a good mix. We tried dinner on Friday night but found the price of 45€ for the seafood buffet a bit too expensive, eventhough the quality was fine. Large sea water swimming pool and nice Thalasso in the hotel. Really great place in a magical environment.

Great landscape One of the server was non accommodating at all & not listening to his customers’ wishes. Specifically on the desserts like the baba au cognac which was not at all what was expected which should have been made with real cognac not a sugar cane syrup !!!!!

We have just stayed 2 nights here and although the hotel is "ok" it doesn't justify the price tag of EUR 280 per night for a room (sea facing). The rooms are fairly basic, in need of modernisation, the balcony is literally tiny and on the side of the bed next to the bathroom there is less than a foot of space to shuffle on and out. We are in the restaurant one night and it was average. If this had been 150 a night I would have been satisfied but there is no way it is worth the price we paid. The location is nice and this place could and should be so much nicer. I would suggest looking for better value elsewhere unless you get lucky with a really good deal

We were supposed to stay 5 nights here but ended up just staying 1. The hotel staff are very nice at reception and breakfast and in general around the hotel but the hotel is very worn and again website (Novotel) could do with adding a few UTD pics for customers I think this should be a legal requirement so customers have clarity when booking especially for older websites with pictures from the early 2000s. Our family room was too small for its intended purpose everything was in need of updating and the pool area seemed very tired. Outside on the terrace was a little better but the hotel needs attention to bring it in line with the room price we stayed in similar priced and less expensive hotels after that were far more cared for and definitely newer.

We love this hotel. The views of the beautiful Gatseau Beach are very relaxing. Access to the private beach from hotel. Amazing varied breakfast, with oysters! Great tea selection. Super friendly staff. Sea water pool. Very clean. Little pricier than other hotels, but so worth it. And the pineau baba au rhum is to try!

my husband and I had a 4 day break here in mid April. The hotel sits in an excellent location and offers many super facilities. The staff were exemplary and made our short break memorable. We were celebrating our golden wedding (albeit a bit delayed due to Covid) and the hotel went out of the way to make our stay perfect. The food was first class and the ea se of using a heated indoor pool straight from the room in slippers and gowns suppplied added to our enjoyment. THANK YOU
