Have stayed here several times now over several years. We decided to return this year with family.The staff have always been very welcoming and accommodating. The rooms are always very clean and the hotel is always well presented. Its in a great location for exploring the island and heading back on to the mainland for the day.We ate in the restaurant one evening - though a limited choice on the menu, its cooked very well and worth a visit. We had breakfast there also one day, which was good.Hoping to stay again when we return to that area.

Stayed 7 days in Rivedoux Plage area during the 1st week of September 2015. We hired bikes and explored the Island of Ile De Re & LA Rochelle with ease. Lots of things to do within easy reach by bike, bus or car. Lots of history, & places to visit. You are spoilt for choice for beaches on the island ile De Re A definate family location. .

very nice room, nice entities

Lovely helpful staff, but not 24/7 reception. Warm clean pool and Jacuzzi outside the front of the hotel. There was a little traffic noise, but it didn't disturb you while relaxing. We hired cycles from the hotel and rode to the next small town for lunch. The hotel's restaurant food looked very good, but we took a 10 minute walk into the village to eat. The one thing missing was a bar within the hotel to get a drink or coffee. There was a coffee machine you could use, but the water container was green at the bottom! We would return for a short stay again.

Fabulous hotel, overlooking beautiful beach. Very comfortable room, but unfortunately had no view. Just an enclosed court-yard. Very friendly helpful staff.

Le Grande Large is a small but comfortable and convenient hotel. The accommodation was clean and the hotel staff friendly and helpful. There is a beach just across the road and the town is just five minutes walk away. For those people not keen on cycling everywhere there is a cheap and efficient bus service making it easy to get anywhere on the island. A nice pool, clean and not crowded. Would definitely return.

Was very nice. Close to the sea, friendly staff and the food was great. Breakfast slightly over priced though.

Nice hotel with excellent staff. This hotel is only just on the island of Ile de Re but was a great place to stay as long as you don't want to be in the middle of everything. The pool looked great and family friendly but I am not a pool guy so didn't use it. The restaurant was really good with excellent nouvelle cuisine and a good wine list. The service was most attentive although on the rainy Saturday night I ate there I was the only diner for most of my meal although by the time I left the place was very well patronised. Secure parking for the motorcycle was appreciated as was the fuss-free, free and unlimited wifi access. The room was not totally up to date but was clean and well furnished with plenty of free grooming items in the bathroom, extra pillows and blankets and a really effective air-conditioner. All this with the beach literally across the road and the whole of Ile de Re at your disposal makes it a great place to stay as long as you are prepared to drive or cycle to find the action(!) on the island.

A warm welcome awaited us when we checked in. As the hotel was quiet we were upgraded to a sea-view room and it was lovely. The room was air conditioned and the king-sized bed, very comfortable. Toiletries were provided in the bathroom for our use. However, the shower was in/over the bath and it was a very small space to shower in. The water is lovely and soft. We had dinner in the adjacent Hotel owned restaurant and this was delicious but pricey. The Hotel is very conveniently situated at the end of the bridge connecting Ile de Re to la Rochelle and there is ample safe, free parking opposite the Hotel. There is a swimming pool & jaccuzzi but we did not use either.

Very welcoming receptionist, hotel spotlessly clean and situation good, facing the sea. The restaurant had a big terrace overlooking the sea. We read the hotel's literature saying the pool was open from April to September but when we arrived (April 6th) we were told it does not open until mid-April.

all was good for the price but the town is not the nicest on the island. there are better locations.

This is our 2nd stay at the Grande Large hotel on the island. Little has changed over the year. The pool area is still very nice and well maintained. The staff were very friendly and helpful when needed. We ate at the restaurant on our first night but unfortunately the menu now didn't really offer the selection we had last year, which was a little disappointing but the food we did have was good. The walls to the rooms seem to be very thin, or we just had very noisy neigubours a few nights. However, I would still recommend the hotel and plan to stay again in the next few years.

our stay was excellent, we had a pool view the room was comfortable, the breakfast was really good, lots of choice, i would recommend this hotel, it was in a good location, just opposite the beach, with plenty of off road parking.

Although the hotel was clean and tidy, the additional breakfast of 12 euros for a couple of croissants was a bit of a rip off!

The hotel is fairly small and in a quiet area of Ile de Re. The staff were very friendly and helpful and managed to get us a room with more space as we were 2 single girls. The pool area was very relaxing and includes a spa and shade. Breakfast was a typical buffet with good quality produce. The restaurant at the hotel has really great food - fresh, interesting and not heavy - perfect for summer. It has a large deck area overlooking the water, making it a lovely place for lunch. I would go back!

We liked the pool and the bar has a lovely view of the beach and catches the sun all day. The food in the restaurant in the evening is of a very high quality but a little expensive compared to mainland France. The breakfast was excellent with a selection of meats & cheeses, pastries and fresh fruit. Unfortunatly our room was tucked away at the rear of the hotel and had no view at all. The bathroom although very clean had a low ceiling which meant taking a shower was a nightmare. ! No need to pay for parking there is plenty of free paring in the road and across the road in the beach car park. It is a 20 minute walk to the other restaurants and they are definately worth a visit. The island is beautiful and hiring bikes is a must.

The bed was firm but uncomfortable, we had a burger and it was raw traditionally we cook this type of food thoroughly in UK. and 10 pounds for a continental breakfast with a boiled egg is too dear. but overall a nice hotel and pleasant staff that spoke english
