Hotel Escale Oceania Pornichet La Baule

Very nice hotel, reasonably priced, next to the beach and centre of town. The breakfast is excellent and is only 8 euros per person and kids go free.

Good beds for a modern hotel. Rooms are large. Balcony could use a small table and 2 chairs for lunch under the sun. Proximity to fresh market where everyday you can get food for lunch or diner. Hotel room however have no microwave or fridge....so for a long stay opt for an apartment instead equipped with kitchenette. Half a block from the ocean front, can't ask for more and few minutes away from a great thermal spa. Only downside, the small menu card for meals at the hotel can not be used as they turn you down if you request a meal. There is the capacity to do a small lounge/bar with small dishes but they do not have the personal to do so. That would have been useful particularly for people traveling with kids or sick person and who arrived after a long trip. Few restaurants around, too bad the Irish Pub across the hotel has not put its acts together and no longer provide brasserie fares, however, think about reserving ahead as they all work like that.
