SOFITEL BIARRITZ LE MIRAMAR THALASSA SEA & SPA

Felt as if we were here in the fifties. Sort of mid century furniture in room. Upgraded to fabulous room nearly on top of the sea. Katherine took care of us with special requests. Could not enjoy pool due to weather, but didn’t want to leave fabulous room. Otice that some exterior needs for refurbishment. But, this close to sea, probably needs clean up at end of season. Great spot to watch surfers.....hundreds all day. We will return.

We stayed here for 4 nights..the beds are the biggest we have ever slept on..so comfortable..the first morning we were woken by drilling coming from somewhere..I complained no the hotel couldn't have been more helpful.moving us to a better room..having already upgraded the original room... My only negative , is how they can justify 8 euros for a bottle of 1 Ltr mineral water .. or 5 euros for half litre..when you can see the same bottle in supermarket for 58 cents.. Lunch around the pool was crazy expensive but we expected this from Biarritz..

We enjoyed our stay here and were lucky enough to be upgraded to a partial sea view. The room was very large and the bed extremely comfortable. The staff were all excellent. Great location, with a back entrance straight out on to the beach. Just a 10 minute walk along the seafront to the casino part of the town. Yes, the balcony could do with a bit of TLC but the bedroom was faultless. We did not like the price of the food anywhere in Biarritz and this hotel was no exception. Two green salads and water was 37 euros. We had croissants and coffee for breakfast which were very good and we certainly did not need the 29 euro full breakfast. We would stay again if we were ever in Biarritz

The location and the design of the hotel is great. Large rooms with balcony. Nice swing pool. However, the hotel is not well maintained, rather not maintained at all the last few years! This is not acceptable at a five star hotel and under a Sofitel brand. The service and the breakfast is not five star.

Just had a fabulous stay in this trendy modern hotel. Brilliant location just a 5 min walk into the town centre for shopping, bars and restaurants and it is right on the beach. Our rooms in the 400's had lovely big balconies and looked over the small bay to the lighthouse. The beds were amazing, the decor was lovely. The shower at first seemed disappointing then the next day we discovered there is a button on-top of the tap you need to press and keep turning. We only used the outdoor pool even when it was raining as it is heated, fabulous. Nice boutique shop, lovely bar, live music, helpful friendly staff. Great toiletries. So what stopped me from giving it 5 stars... breakfast although it was set out lovely and in a beautiful setting it was lacking for vegetarian hot food, but the egg on toast I had was very tasty. Only 3 English TV Channels all news. Nuts as your bedtime treat no good if your allergic. Would definitely stay again for a weekend.
