Les Sables Blancs

Our room was spacious, clean, and the beds were extremely comfortable. Our balcony was huge with the most awesome view of the English Channel and glorious sunsets. Breakfasts and dinners at the hotel were excellent. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, offering ideas for day trips and making great effort to communicate with us in English. We would definitely come back!

My husband and I spent months planning our dream vacation to Europe, which included one week stays at three different luxury hotels. The first two hotels were excellent and far exceeded our expectations. Unfortunately, Les Sables Blanc was a significant disappointment and ruined our stay in Brittany. Upon arrival at Les Sables Blanc, we immediately realized the suite had no AC, even though the website clearly states they did. When we enquired about AC, the receptionist indicated that she knew nothing about this problem and pointed to a fan in our room. When we noted that the fan was inadequate, she provided us with an air purifier. The air purifier failed to cool the room, but the motor and air plugs came in handy to drown out the constant noise from the restaurant directly below our suite. The bed contained a thin, hard, uncomfortable mattress, which is undoubtedly below the standards for a four-star hotel! We requested a pillow-top mattress cover but never received it. On the fourth night of our stay, the hotel hosted a private party with live music in its restaurant and outdoor balconies directly below our suite. The music ended at 10:45 p.m., but the guests' revelry continued until the early morning hours. Needless to say, we got little sleep that evening. The evening of the party, we were also informed that there would not be a breakfast buffet (included with the room) the following day because of the private event. The receptionist offered us breakfast in bed the next morning, which we gladly ordered. Unfortunately, it never arrived. When I enquired about our missing breakfast, the staff was unapologetic and stated they were too busy with the private party! This is undoubtedly not a four-star hotel, and the staff needs lessons in customer service. This hotel appears to be only interested in maximizing profits while giving minimal service to their guests! It is sad because the location of this property is exquisite, with a gorgeous beach and ocean views. With some simple updates, better staffing and training, less greed on the owner's part, and more concern about their guests, this property could be really special!
