I'm generally a big fan of Sofitel, and this one didn't disappoint. The location is great--walking…read moredistance to almost everything in Biarritz. We asked if we could possibly get a room with a view and they accommodated! It was a partially obstructed view, but we were thrilled nonetheless, and spent much time on the balcony or with the patio door open, listening to the waves. The room was large and generally comfortable. The pool was big and fantastic. And as always, Sofitel service is phenomenal.
This is an older property, and while the rooms have all been nicely updated, the hotel itself is in need of modernization. It looks quite dated. Also, I think they try a little TOO hard with the bedding, and the pillow tops and flourishes actually made the bed look awesome and inviting, but ultimately feel kind of uncomfortable.
