Amazing experience in an unforgettable setting…read more Atmosphere/decor: Nearly identical to the black and white photos of yesteryear, this historic setting takes you back to a different time while holding an elegant and special vibe. The huge ceilings, original embossments and mouldings are gorgeous. The large windows provide a great view of the sea and boardwalk. Unfortunately it was a big humid and warm in the room but expectable with the style and culture of the place. Everyone gets seated with a view. Service: lovely old-school white glove experience. Attentive, professional, and polite. The servers have typical non-disturbing stance of European restaurants with the added attentiveness one expects of fine dining. Food: the 3-course meal was delicious and beautifully plated. Small but flavorful portions. The crab starter was one of the most gorgeous plantings I have ever seen. Unfortunately the taste was somewhat bland and did not accentuate the crab. Some might call it delicate but I think that would be a scapegoat. The lamb two ways was magnificent. I asked for medium rare and both pieces were amongst the best lamb I've had of my life. Savory, just ever so gamey, and delicates salted. The chocolate coconut dessert dish was to die for -- decadent but smooth and creamy on the tongue with a nice counterbalance or coconut flavors--coconut can often be too underwhelming or overwhelming and they balanced the presence perfectly. One of my companions had the sole (Prousts favorite) and said it was the best he'd ever had. Unfortunately the sole does not come on the 3-course menu option (understandably) and necessitates ordering other dishes separately/individually. The chariot of cheese (hah! Bravo!) allowed an unlimited amount nearly 15 local and regional cheeses. Drinks: Impressive menu of mostly French wines. Luckily a few options of by the glass purchase for those of us whose companies couldn't/don't drink. Cocktail list is nice as well as apertifs and digestifs. Pricing: the 3-course meal is a good deal in the 75-100 euro range. Drink pricing was expectable for the scale of the restaurant. Very reasonable pricing for such fine dining and service. $350 Euro for 4 people with only two of us having by the glass drinks. I recommend all try it who can and would absolutely return--even dine multiple times during a stay at the Grand Hotel if I could visit.

We arrived here by accident rather than design (see my review of the awful owners of Camping le…read moreVallee) for a night and it was €65 for two in a basic, cheaply furnished room with a double and bunk bed; a chair, small table and small TV, soap and 3 towels. The shower was ace with powerful consistently hot water. Wifi included and good and reliable for the most part. We had a 1st floor view over the front entrance toward fields and some local houses. This Ibis is about right on the beach at Dives sur Mer close to a Lidl, near the main train station and about a 5 minute drive to a Mc Donald's drive thru. There was a train strike so no train noises. If you arrive late you can book in via a credit card machine in the lobby and once you book the machine gives you a code to access the hotel and the same code allows room entry so you've no keys to lose. The machine offers four or five languages. ibis breakfasts are great and here it cost €13 for two - eat all you like with various breads, sweet breads, jams, honey, coffee, tea, hot chocolate, yoghurts,cereals, cold meats etc. The owners are friendly folk, a man and wife crew with a few helpers to maintain good standards. A pretty unique and delightful feature here is a beautiful well maintained Japanese garden nurtured by the owner. An eye catching and conversational thing. This would be a good value base from which to explore the area for a few days.

She greeted us with a smile and a bottle of water and got us quickly checked in. The room was a beautiful sight for tired eyes. It was wonderfully clean and quaintly beautiful. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was large for Europe. When we woke up the next morning, we realized our room had a gorgeous view of the sea. Our room came with breakfast, which was delicious and more than the traditional "continental" fare. Eggs, toast (with Tiptree jams!), cereals, fresh fruit, juices and coffees were on the menu. We didn't have the opportunity to try the restaurant for dinner, but we hope to on our return. Merci beaucoup, Hôtel 1900!
