Novotel Thalassa Oléron Saint-Trojan Hotel 4 stars

A recommencer

5 nights with family Spa thalasso Wonderful spot, splendid weather

TOO SHORT

ad a short break in the lovely island, looking forward to a return trip when the weather is nicer, great property, just one little hiccup, on check in in the evening, was told guests were not allowed in the swimming pool until 8pm as there was a class going on? I don't understand that being a Hotel pool for guests, how come there is this restriction? On the positive side I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Blandine at front desk for all her help and her ever present smile on all the requests thrown her way, thank you Blandine for going above and beyond!

week relaxant

We were beautifully looked after. The breakfast was outstanding.

We had booked originally for a 2 night stay at the end of a driving tour of south western France. However, we immediately fell in love with hotel and its sighting and asked if we could extend our stay. No problem. We had booked a 'superior room' with a balcony and sea view. Absolutely fabulous! The restaurant was very good, and surprisingly moderately priced baring in mind the quality of the food and the excellent service. Breakfasts were equally as good. We really enjoyed our stay, and will visit again

People at the reception were warm welcome and sympathetic but waiters/waitress at the restaurant were just fine

We love the hotel and St.Tojan, and you didn't disappoint.

I come each year for a thalassotherapy in Novotel Oleron Saint Trojan and it is better each year! From the reception, to the restaurant, to the institute, to the thalasso area, to the sport teams, to the cleaning teams, everyone is absolytely lovely, helpful and caring. everyone wears a big smile and that shows how good place this place is :)

This is a special place. The hotel is right on the beach in the middle of a forest and is an excellent place to relax and to get away from it all. The hotel has been upgraded relatively recently and the public spaces are some of the nicest facilities that we have experienced in any hotel. Rooms are Novotel standard (perhaps slightly small?). A sea view is recommended. Good little gym but doesn't open until 08.00 to avoid disturbing neighbours. This meant that breakfast was a bit of a rush. However forest is great for running and cycling. Breakfast was excellent and the breakfast staff extremely helpful. Hotel quite isolated and so going out to dinner invoves driving. We stayed in! Hotel food is popular with guests and so atmosphere is good. Standard of food is good for a hotel. We cycled to lunch. Some good fish available locally. We were given a warm welcome. This may have been our 10th visit and we will be back!

We had a wonderful Visit to the hotel. Front of house staff were kind, efficient and professional. Dinner was delicious as was our breakfast. Only one tiny problem the one young waiter was abrupt and dismissive. He was the only one as all of the other waiters were delightful. The young man had a beard and a ponytail, thankfully he wasn't our waiter all evening. The other young man with short black hair was charming and helpful. The setting of the hotel is fantastic as it literally opens onto the beach. We swam in the sea and then sat and had drinks looking over the beach. After Dinner we walked along the beach star gazing. It was a magical place to be to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary. Thank you.

We were totally surprised that this hotel is in your group, when this hotel was first built I would imagine it was luxurious, but for our stay from the 16th August 2019 until 30th August 2019, it was awful. The toilet was very dimly lit and did not smell very nice for the whole fortnight, ( and that was not down to me or Giuseppe) we were also very shocked to discover no bidet and the toilet was separate from the shower room. The shower was a death trap, nothing to hold onto if needed and no emergency pull cord. The space by my side of the bed was just a foot wide, I am only 50 kilo`s but I had to slide sideways to get out. THE BED must have been an original when the hotel was built it squeaked and rumbled too much and was very lumpy, Giuseppe who has two crushed vertebrae found sleeping very difficult and mostly laid on the settee next to the bed, hardly a romantic holiday. The food very average in the restaurant we eat better at home, but just one plus point the breakfasts were good. The bathrobes left for us were too hard to wear, and we were shocked to see the accor label in them, but the had towels and bath towels were lovely and soft. We only walked along the beach once as it was used by dogs and not cleared away so I spent nearly all the time on the balcony and Giuseppe tried to sleep. Before we booked this hotel and looked at the many photo`s, it gave a glowing report that there were theme nights at this hotel, we heard one a karaoke night at around 6pm. Next year it is back to Italy

We had a lovely time here. The hotel location is fabulous, right on the water's edge. All the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming. The food in the restaurant is outstanding.
