It was a perfect stay for a very good price. The rooms were super clean, spacious, and cozy! Great breakfast and superb service. Spoke to about 5 or more people behind the bar and desk and everyone was accommodating and friendly. Easy communication in English as well, a big bonus. The location feels like its outside of the busy part of LGM, but still very much inside the atmosphere of the town.

    This is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff is friendly and they make sure to look after you. The spa is exceptional. L’Armadin restaurant offers a proper gastronomic experience with local flavours and wines. We liked it so much that has lunch and dinner there during our 2 nights stay at the hotel. We loved the architecture of the hotel and the design. Rooms are comfortable and offer everything you need. The short boat ride to the beach was a pleasant surprise. The Spa is lovely and we enjoyed our couples massage. We are already looking at coming back next year.

    The view from the room was absolutely stunning, and the staff were exceptionally friendly and efficient, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The bedroom was spacious with a large, comfortable bed and incredibly soft bedding, ensuring a great night's sleep. The soundproofing was excellent, and the heating worked perfectly, keeping us cozy throughout our stay. The kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed for a few days, and the thoughtful inclusion of coffee pods was a lovely touch.

There's also a lot events going on here - shows, concerts and festivals. We hired a boat to explore the water ways which was excellent fun. We had a superb 8 day stay and would highly recommend it.

    Cap d‘Agde is very nice destination with plenty of yacht ports and a few different beaches nearby. You can find there both restaurants, shops and disco clubs. Many small apartments with some with swimming pools. Big Aquapark and paid swimming pool are also in the area. There are buses to Agde and Gare where you can change to another bus to the airport but they do not go very often. Generally I do recommend.
