Kid & Family Friendly Resorts in Vendée

"We booked weeks in advance and arrived after a four hour drive to be told that we couldn't use car park because we did not reserve parking. Hotels.com gave no options to reserve and the listing details say nothing about reservation. There was no on road parking available. The manager kept saying it is clearly marked and I showed him it wasn't. Eventually the young lady on reception worked something out to park at the side of the hotel. That night and before we left two parking spaces remained available in the parking. So frustrating and needless stress. The room was very basic and looked nothing like the photos. Breakfast buffet was very basic and poor value for money. No gluten free or lactose free options despite messaging twice in advance. If I didn't bring my own food I would have had nothing yet still paid for breakfast!!! The coastline is beautiful but the town was lacklustre. It was not even that cheap! Go elsewhere. Paid much less for much better, overpriced and underperforming hotel. We would have left were it not for the really friendly and helpful young lady on reception. "

"Super stay at Hotel Vent d'Eden, hotel very close to forests and the beach, it was perfect for what we were after. Would benefit from a small fridge in the room!"

"This is a very nice hotel. The rooms are tasteful and well laid out. The staff are very accommodating and friendly. We only had breakfast one day but it is very good. Hot and cold options allow you to have anything from a pastries and jams to fruit, yoghurt, to cheeses, charcuterie, scrambled eggs, bacon and sausages. The rooftop terrace has great views of the port, but it can get windy. The pool is gorgeous but small and there are only six sun loungers, which can get competitive. It is well situated, just a short walk from the main parts of town and most of the good restaurants. If we visit Les Sables-d'Olonne again, we will definitely stay at Hotel Vertime again."

"This was a comfortable 3 night stay in a private room with a double bed and en-suite bathroom conveniently located in the heart of the port area in Les Sables d’Olonne. Really enjoyed it! "

"We had a nice clean room and enjoyed the breakfasts, the owners were very friendly and helpful, we look forward to staying again"

"This place is ideally located and had a fantastic restaurant "

"Hotel is clean and bed is comfortble, if decor is slightly shabby. It is fine for an overnight stay when on a journey. Handy for Les Sables d'Olonne which is a nice port with good restaurants. We arrived late so the restaurant was closed but the hotel has a late check in which is useful."

"Excellent location, overlooking the river/port. Easy walk to the beach and into the town. Plenty of restaurants nearby."

"Staff and meal were fine. Really nice receptionist but room was minute. Absolutely no space. "
