We booked this hotel as Expedia had it listed as having parking , it only has 10 spaces which were all ready pre booked at £15 euros a day. Parking opposite was 35 euros per day . We would not have booked the hotel if we knew the parking situation. The hotel said this was Expedia not their fault. The hotel is spotless and the staff were excellent. The room we had was really small but very clean. The rooms are not ready until 4. We used the indoor pool but none of the other spa facilities as there were charges for them. We did not eat there.

Mein Urlaub in Carnac war einer der schönsten Urlaube meines Lebens. Die Strände sind wunderschön und die Landschaft, sowie die Menhirs sind faszinierend. Das Hotel ist in allen Kategorien hervorragend. Einen so grandiosen Service habe ich selten erlebt. Sollten Sie die Zeit haben, lohnt sich ein Restaurant-Besuch und die Nutzung des Spas. Es werden auch Unverträglichkeiten und Ernährungsweisen ohne Probleme berücksichtigt. Auch die Cocktails an der Bar sind sehr empfehlenswert. Es viel uns sehr schwer wieder nach Hause zu fahren und werden das Hotel sicherlich noch einmal besuchen.

Séjour très agréable ayant illuminé mes fêtes :)

Venue séjourner pendant les fêtes de fin d'année. Le staff est très aimable, toujours disponible ainsi que solutioniste. Période de Nooêl: très jolies décorations extérieures & intérieures rendant l'établissement d'autant plus chaleureux en cette période festive. Bien que seule, j'ai sentie la chaleur du lieu de par ces attentions. Femmes de ménage également adorables. Disponibles jusqu'à 4PM si réveil tardif. L'hôtel est parfaitement propre, moderne avec des mobiliers de bonne qualité et très bonnes finitions. Tout a été pensé pour un séjourner dans un véritable havre de paix. Seul hôtel en ville de ce standing. Le manquement de la “vue mer”(à une rue ceci dit:)étant largement compensé. Les produits en chambre Phytomer sont d'autant plus bien pensés: animaux & écologie-friendly. Cela peut paraitre un détail mais essentiel dans une station balnéaire afin de préserver notre belle côte (presque) sauvage. ;) Le petit déjeuner digne d'un 4* +++ Seul < peu d’options allergènes:alternatives vegan,gluten >produits locaux, frais, grande diversité allant du sucré au salé, lait soja pour allergène sans oublier de bonnes huitres locales fraiches.:) Le SPA,également rénové est le lieu parfait pr se reposer après une marche en bord de mer. Seul bémol, salle de sport :toute petite,pas de place pour faire ses exercises,pas d'accessoires "basiques" type elastiques, poids,.. +la machine "tout-en-un" Technogym incomplète. Hormis ce point, foncez c'est un sansfaute MERCI pr votre accueil chaleu
