We always try to stay away from large chain hotels and all inclusive so were really pleased to find this accommodation. 1st impressions. Concierge was welcoming , friendly and gave us clear direction to our accommodation (No41) which was situated at end of the pool. (A little awkward wheeling our cases noisily between the feet of sunbathers and the poolside - almost a walk of shame that the newbies had arrived! But we soon got over it!) We were pleasantly surprised with the accommodation. Roomy with 2 bedrooms, (1 on the ground floor) 2 bathrooms, and lounge/kitchen area. Perfect for families (it was just the 2 of us this time, but we wished we had found this years ago when our children were younger) Kitchen is well equipped, beds are really comfortable, hair dryer in bathroom. Little patio and garden area, and wifi really good. We found the position of Parquemar was perfect for us. We are keen walkers , and enjoyed walking along the sea front (15-25 minutes walk to the sea) along the sand to the dunes, or the other way along the prom. The are also several bus stops near by which allowed us to explore other towns. Local restaurants, supermarket. We also hired a car locally from Jurecar as recommended by the hotel) to visit the mountains. Only a few minor irritations, Road noise from main road behind was noticeable but not really bothersome. The Bull hotel next door did have a live singer from 8:30 to 11pm, retro style 70’s holiday crooning (we are out of season so unsure if this would be different in the summer but at 50 ish we felt like some of youngest ones here!) but actually, after a long day exploring we enjoyed sitting on the patio with a glass of red listening too it. Noisy or nightshift working neighbour next door? (I may be wrong, but think some properties may be owned, or on long term lets? ) anyway minor annoyance, but we noticed a washing machine noise *occasionally at 1 or 2am and scuffing around in the earlier hours.*just to clarify our apartment didn’t have washing machine. Main Pool was a bit too shallow for us only 1m -1m 30 cm deep. But it would be perfect for families. Cleaners were charming, friendly and attentive. Nothing too much trouble. Overall, we were comfortable, safe and thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing winter break here.

“Positive experience for the price paid”

The experience was a positive one given the low price that we paid. Other hotels/apartments in the area would have cost almost double for the Christmas period. We stayed in the apartments. The apartments do need modernising, but they were very clean and well equipped. The pool is definitely heated and a good size. A gripe would be that warm shower water was not endless. There was enough warm water for a reasonable shower, but it often ran out towards the end. Also, at times, there were groups of unsupervised children by the pool, and the lifeguard did not do much to intervene when they became (slightly) disruptive. It wouldn't be my first choice of hotel to return to given that it needs modernising. However, if the price was right, I would consider it. The reception staff were lovely.
