La Grande Terrasse Hotel & Spa La Rochelle MGallery Collection

First I was surprised to know this hotel was away from La Rochelle. It’s about 20 minute away. Then I realised it’s really family friendly hotel. Staffs were always welcome and on your service. Facility is clean and well managed. Pleasant surprise of a small walk along the ocean. Dinner at the hotel, first it was a bit chaos because they didn’t want to have a service of certain area. But I didn’t want to have a dinner with a full sun exposure either with my kids. At the end, they made an exception so thank you. Some information for a family with a child. There is no limited time for children to enter a swimming pool. There are two high chairs and one of them was a bit dirty in restaurant area. There is a menu for children also.

Fantastic facilities and location, made to feel welcomed by all the staff who were very friendly. Breakfast had a large and excellent selection, whilst dinner at the Bistrot Restaurant was delicious and well-priced. The waiting staff at both meals were very friendly and allowed me to practice French with them. The room was very clean and modern, bed was very comfy and it had a great shower. The spa was excellent, with a steam room, sauna and an inside/outside jacuzzi with many bubble/jet features and a fantastic sea view. A minor thing is that is did get quite busy at the weekend, I think hotel guests should be prioritised over outside guests as there weren't many seats left. We stayed for our first anniversary and we couldn't have asked for a better hotel. Thank you to all the staff for making it so special. We will definitely be returning!

The place is really nice on the beach but some kilometers from La Rochelle. Rooms are small and lack charm. The breakfast is very varied and good. The restaurant is very expensive for what it is, they even struggled to serve decent pasta.
