Hôtel la Baie Valdys Resort & SPA

Location + restaurant

The steam room smelt really bad. Unhealthy even, like rotting cabbage....not at all like eucalyptus or the smell of a well-being spa ?

Clean, comfortable and lovely location.

Poorly understaffed at check in and restaurant. The staff were stretched beyond reason, creating extremely slow service.

Balcony room had great view and perfect orientation of the room layout.

No bar

Location, decor, polite and helpful staff (for the most part), pool area, accessibility for people with limited mobility

Had mixed bag of cleaning staff. At the beginning of our stay they were great, the last two days, the lady who cleaned our room was quite rude and disagreeable

Everything, the location of the hotel, literally on the beach, sea view from the room, room and facilities, spa, and the superb food. Also the views from the restaurant and bar.

No mini bar in the bedroom

We had a superior room, which was very comfortable with a huge bed. There was a private car park for guests, which was easy to access from the hotel. We didn't use the spa but went swimming in the sea each morning, as there is a great beach right by the hotel. There are a few bars and restaurants within a 5 minute walk, the first part of the town 10 minutes walk away, and the main town 25 minutes walk away. Would recommend as a good location for anyone wishing to stay in Douarnenez.

LocationThe pool is great

Front desk staff - some were very nice others were not.Breakfast was ok but not excellent for this level of stars. Also table service at breakfast could be improved. Did not pick our dirty plates.

Great breakfast, beautiful location.

The daily room cleaning could be improved.

High-class hotel in excellent location - delicious meal in the excellent restaurant. Beautiful sea-view from floor-to-ceiling bedroom window.

The hotel has all the features which belong to an establishment of that calibre but the atmosphere is lacking in warmth.

Comfortable room Modern bathroom

Rich food on dinner menuSlow ro non-eplenishment of key items at breakfastArchaic dress code in swimming pool

We particularly enjoyed being able to swim in the sea every day and then go back into the Spa and warm up in the facilities there as there was direct access to the beach .

Front desk was cheerful , friendly, if not terribly knowledgeable.

We were looking for a more authentic ‘Brittany’ experience, whereas this hotel/spa could have been anywhere. I tried to use the pool at 6:30pm and was told it was closing soon. We were never able to use the pool. One of the two coffee machines—the only way to get coffee—broke down on day 2, leaving long coffee lines for the last 3 days. The staff were nice, but it wasn’t our style of place overall.

Modern, clean and comfortable. Reception staff were very helpful in changing our double bed to a twin. Good breakfast.

Tried to get a drink in the bar twice and turned away both times

not worth it

restaurant not available, bar not available, room service not available, bird**** and eggs on the jaccussi and the terras

Nice rooms and spa facilities with lovely views. The staff made us feel very welcome

There was nothing I didn’t like

Helpful staff, clean and huge room, car park included, did not use swimming pool as we left early, our room had a balcony on the seafront

Not purchased breakfast as too expensive, very far from the old town

The location of the hotel is fantastic, the breakfast and the comfort in the room very good.

One has to understand and appreciate Thalasso to fully appreciate the hotel. For the non expert, Thalasso seems to center on an not particularly inviting Spa area that offers a range of applications involving ocean water. It may be good for non-French guests to explain the concept of Thalasso and what it offers.

Great rooms

The many hidden costs. All spa/water facilities requires you to rent/purchase swimsuits, robes from the hotel etc. Breakfast not included etc.

Great location next to a superb beach. Superb meal in restaurant.

Location excellent. Good standard. Reception staff excellent. Great views from terrace onto the bay. Good spa facilities.

You need to wear speedos you are not allowed shorts in pool. You need sliders to walk around in the leisure spa. You need to hire a robe. So whilst this is allegedly free with your stay, the hotel will sell you sliders starting at €10, Speedos starting at €30 and a robe hire making it an eye watering swim! Don’t forget to take the correct attire! They do advise on shorts in the pool in fairness but a better list of requirements for the leisure facility would be better.
