Hotel Atalante Relais Thalasso et Spa

Enchanté

Brilliant hotel, lovely location. Staff very helpful and friendly. Nice views of the sea and the pool and spa were very nice. Would have liked larger towels for the spa and they didn’t cover the sun loungers

We spent two nights at Hotel Atalante-Relais Thalasso as part of a Voyage Prive deal. Our deal included a Comfort Room On The Vineyard Side with breakfast. We stayed in room 318 which had a small balcony overlooking the vineyard. There was also a partial sea view as well. The hotel has a Greek/Mediterranean feel to it. Great base to explore the rest of the island. For the football fans amongst you the hotel was used as a base in Euro 2016 and when we were there the Angers SCO squad was based there for some of their pre-season. Did not see or hear them at all in fairness until we spotted them walking to their coach for a match. The room looked like it had recently been refurbished so was very smart. Air con, great shower, TV, tea/coffee facilities, safe, Wi-Fi etc. Even a choice of pillows depending on how you sleep! Breakfast is a buffet with loads of choice. Not much seating outside and pretty much all of it is in full sun. The pool area was very modern, not a huge amount of shade but nice nonetheless. It opens at 0900 which makes a pre-breakfast swim a little tricky however with pre-agreement they will open it a little earlier which was appreciated. Half a day bike hire (4 hours) was included with our booking. We attempted a tandem, decided it was too dangerous and instead opted for a bike each. The island is so bike friendly. Loads of different cycle routes and really safe. The bikes are excellent as well, touring style, gears, very comfortable. Due to the heat we only did an hour or so but you can probably get from one end of the island to the other in about 2 hours I reckon. Special mention to staff members Assis and Sylvie who could not do enough for us.
