Hotel Thalasso Atalante 4* - Ile de Ré/France

I've stayed one night in this hotel on one of the islands of France in the Atlantic. 

This hotel is really worth visiting for several reasons. There is a great Thalasso which is pretty new, great food and spacious/ well equiped rooms!

This is mainly a couple hotel that are willing to enjoy the thalasso, calmed, nature & the island of Ile de Ré.

This hotel is located direct at the beach, but you need a bike/car to get to one of the city center. It is really in the middle of nature. 

You can not swim directly in front of the hotel, as this is to dangerous (you need to go 1 km further).

There is a large parking in front of the hotel which is free of use.

Rooms:

I was lucky to stay in the suite (roomnr 304) of this hotel with separate living room incl. leather sofa (which could be transformed in to a bed). 

You have a view on the dunes from your room (strange to say, but after them there is the ocean - the dunes are created to protect the island), which is also nice. Espacially as there is a large terrace with comfortable seats and sun beds.

The bedroom was spacious with a king size bed. Next to the bed there is a bottle of lavendel mist to spray on your pillow (great idea!)

2 bottles of free Evian water is provided in the room.

HINT: there is also a connecting door should you want your children to have a real separate room with bathroom.

There are also 8 standard rooms with connecting doors.

Bathroom:

The bathroom is rather small compared to the surface of the suite in general, but still spacious enough.

It is equiped with bath/shower and all amenities needed (soap,shampoo,lotion,cottons,shower cap), but also a good hair dryer (strong).

The toilet was seperated (which is the case in all roomtypes).

Breakfast:

Very good buffet with several local products. The bread is baked regularly so it remains a bit fresh.

the fresh orange juice is a big plus!

There is 'gluten' free food provided.

Thalasso:

The thalasso is connected via the underground with the hotel. It is modern and well equiped. It is not the usual spa, but they're not the typic clinical thalasso as most of them in France.

There is a pool inside with several activities organized (older impression and no jets nor whirlpool) and a brand new swimming pool outside (small and long with salt water).

There is also a sauna and steambath.

This thalasso is mainly equiped to enjoy several treatments.

HINT: enjoy the 'plat de fruit de mer' in this hotel. It is a great experience and of very good quality!!
