Five Night Stay
The complex is very nice and the surroundings are lovely. Port en Bessin which is just a short drive away is very nice with lots of restaurants and places to walk. However, our studio was very disappointing, although well equipped it was not in good repair. We had a broken shower that had to be fixed, we had a hotplate that didn't work and on our third day we had no hotwater. The reception staff were very nice and quickly responded to put right the problems but the studio was not fit for purpose and needs to be renovated.

Great family accommodation.
Check in was at 17:00 where we were greeted warmly at reception by Thomas who spoke excellent English (mercifully as my French is embarrassingly bad). He gave us the full low down on the property and local area which included a map. If you've reviewed the property properly then you'll know that it's fully self catering and you're responsible to keep it clean and make your beds. The interior was perhaps slightly dated compared to other 4 star hotels but it was very clean and everything worked. The kitchen area had 4 ring hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, kettle, coffee maker, toaster and dishwasher as well as a plentiful supply of utensils, pots and pans. No condiments so if you plan to cook either come prepared or head 2 minutes by car to the supermarket in Port En Bessin. Local baker calls every morning at 9am too. There was plenty of outdoor space between the hotel and the golf course to make use of and the hotel pools were heated. If you plan to explore the area we'd recommend bringing or hiring a car as Bayeux is a 10-15 minute drive. Great location to explore the D-Day beaches and museums with Omaha and Arromanches both only 15 minutes away. This is a great place to stay for a family (4 of us). We stayed for 8 nights and would definitely check this place out again if back in Normandy.

Perfect Location
Good location to explore the local area and D-Day beaches, quiet with great views and plenty of parking spaces, and a easy walk to the nearby town. Good facilities in the house accommodation with a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable sitting room, indoor and outdoor dining tables, clean bedding and towels in packs, and good wifi connection. The outdoor swimming pool is heated, which was the better option, especially when the indoor pool was busy. Other activities include a children's playground, volleyball and golf. Also has a free holiday book swap (various language books), and children's colouring etc. activities in the reception area. An easy walk into town with information at the reception for things to do and see in the area. We called in advance to notify reception of our late arrival, and they were very friendly and helpful in arranging our key collection when they were closed. A great place to stay if you want a self-catered house to yourself, rather than just a hotel room.

Bare bones accommodations; do not expect a lot
The check-in ladies were not very pleasant. No real greeting, hurried behavior, no explanation as to how things worked and where to find access to things on site. The unit smelled a bit musty and sour smelling in the bathrooms. No toilet paper to accommodate a family of 4 (only 1/4 of 1 roll), no soaps, and having to put sheets and duvet cover on the beds we were sleeping on, wifi was horrible

Pros - Beautiful location & heated outdoor swimming pool. Cons - Taking into consideration this is a large self catering complex there are no facilities on site to buy anything not even a bottle of water. There are no shops within at least 2 miles, the shops in the town close at around 7.30pm - 8pm be prepared if you do not have a car. We booked to take 2 small dogs but our apartment was on the first floor not ideal if dogs need letting out in the middle of the night. Had no idea that our dog friendly accomm would be upstairs. Upstairs room is up a very steep set of narrow stairs not great for small children Accommodation was well equipped but very tired and grubby. Some areas of our apartment looked like they hadn’t been cleaned for months. The towels that are provided are very small and thin. Hairdryer and iron available on request - as this was advertised on he website I did not take my own, asked several times for these and they were not available and the staff did not know when the would be available. Seems there is no time limit on returning the items once you have secured them so it’s anybody’s guess when you will be able to dry your hair!! You are required to make your own bed on arrival, clean kitchen area and empty bins on departure. Not something I expect to do when I have paid all that money to go on holiday. Lack of hot water early in the mornings, as reception doesn’t open until 8.30am you are unable to sort this if you want to be up and out by this time.

Check in times are very limited. We arrived at the property at 7:15 pm , front desk was closed. when we called the number that was left with instructions it said the number did not exist. Thank God I saw a maintenance man who came to lock the pool i think and laundry facilities. He did not understand me at al , but i was able to convey to him that we need the keys to our property. He was very helpful, open the safe with multiple keys and booklets of other residents who did not arrive yet. he pointed in the direction of where to look for our unit.

Family hotel close to the beach
My family and I really enjoyed our 4 nights summer holiday, it is so great for kids, my son enjoyed the facilities especially the pools. We visited Festyland Parc, which was just about 46mins drive from the hotel, the hotel was clean, spacious for my family, but it had a bit of spell. We had to use dettol spray on the sofas and surfaces.

Excellent location and AMAZING experience!
This was the PERFECT place for our family! We were traveling with my brother-in-law and our whole family and the "house" option gave us plenty of space for everyone. The location was perfect for visiting the Normandy sites. I loved that it was not directly inside a city but still had the conveniences close by. We really felt like we were "away from it all". The staff was ALL very helpful. One of the BEST things I will remember is the AMAZING bakery available in the lobby area. It was the BEST bakery/croissants we had during our entire 3 week vacation. If we make it back to the area, we will DEFINITELY come back to stay here.

Arriving late was a nightmare. No clear instructions had been given to access our key to the unit and it was very dark. The clothes dryer malfunctioned and when we tried to dry at the facility at the near the reception area, we needed euros to insert. The reception desk had no coins! We left with wet clothes in our car. The people in reception we’re either not well trained or not very friendly.

This is not a hotel, it is a timeshare rented out like a hotel. There is inadequate staff coverage to run the property like a hotel. Check in window is only two hours in the afternoon, ending early. If you arrive late you have to call a property management company to try to get your key. The pool is only open from 1000 to 1930, basically unusable by anyone touring or sightseeing during the day. The rooms are generally dirty, aside from being dusty and stuffy from always being locked up and not used regularly. The beds are not made, guests are expected to make them (not something you want to do in a three bed room after 12 hours of sightseeing). There is no restaurant on the property, we had to drive to a different hotel to eat. This is a timeshare on a golf course, we didn't see any guests under the age of 60 on the property.

Good for a Family Stay
Spent three days visiting Bayeux and the WWII sites in the area. This was a nice, centralized location to reach most of the sites within a 20-25 minute drive. Our family of four adults and two children, 10/13yr old, were able to fit comfortably in their two bedroom apartment. We utilized the fridge, freezer, dishes, stovetop and dishwasher throughout the stay. There is a Supermarket in town to stock up food to cook at reasonable prices should you not want to go out to eat for every meal. Breakfast at the resort is a one hour visit from one of the Patisseries between 0830-0930 (and not on Mondays) so it's a good idea to stock up on cereals, breads or eggs in town, as we did. Little things like salt/pepper, sugar packets for coffee, etc. are a good thing to remember to bring. We had no issues with the towels or sheets provided for the three day stay, although we did bring beach towels for pool activities. Wi-fi in the room does get a little iffy at times, but we only used the basic services and it wasn't the reason for the visit! The TV is mainly all-French, with the 3-4 German channels not always coming through on the satellite (weather related, perhaps). All in all, we'd certainly go back and stay here again as we enjoyed our stay.

The apartments where nice and provided plenty of space. The issues we had where that the office closes at 7pm. The laundry and pool closed by 8pm and the office didn't open back up until 8:30am. Their credit card machine didn't work and it forced me to go into town to get euros to pay cash for taxes/crib that weren't covered in the expedia booking.

Great value!
Overall, a great value for the money! I would stay there again for sure. Three complaints: the "free wifi" is only free for three days, then you have to pay. Our free period ended the night before we left, so this wasn't a big deal....but if your customers book four days, just give them four days of wifi!. The pool was clean and nice, but the water was a little cool, and it is only open until 7:30pm. After a day of sightseeing, this didn't leave much time to swim. The property grounds were beautiful and well-maintained, but VERY dark at night. We were using cell phone flashlights to get to and from the residence from the parking lot. More lighting in the paths is needed. I felt safe the property, despite this. Good location, just a few minutes from Bayeux. Everything we wanted to see was within 40 minutes by car.

Pleasant stay in historic and idyllic location of Normadie. Apartment was small but fine for our family. Toilet was a bit small and little smelly but not a major problem. Pool was good and a nice temperature. It's a 15 minute walk into Port en Bessin which is a quant little port with nice restaurants and market. All of the WW2 sites nearby are essential and moving visits. Pastries delivered on site in the morning were lovely!

This is not a hotel but a resort where the expectation is to stay for a while. We had to make our own beds, not enough towels, but overall it was ok. Has a very nice pool. We arrived around 4:30pm and no one was at the lobby. We got lucky and found an employee who was outside otherwise I'm still not sure how we would have finally gotten to our room.

Beds are Hard as Rocks!
The place was clean except a smell coming from the downstairs bathroom. The beds were all HARD. There was no comfort, no give in the beds. By 3am I back hurt so bad it took awhile to get back to sleep. The kitchen was fine except you need to know there's no oven. Somehow we missed that. The place echoes so it's hard for kids to get to sleep if the adults are still awake. This isn't really a hotel so you have to strip the beds and empty the trash and make sure the dishes are clean before you checkout. They do NOT have free cribs/portable cribs for you to use as a hotel does. You have to pay 10 euros a night to rent one. And, when you get there you have to make your own beds. So, if you get in late, keep that in mind. You also need to put the trash bags into the trash cans. I'm just letting people know. I reserved this off of hotels.com so my thought was 'hotel'. It doesn't have the same services as a hotel. It's was an okay stay. I just wish I had known all of this before I came so I would not have been surprised by it. My main complaint is the beds. I will not stay here again because of that.

Nice resort, but not 4 star.
It was a nice place for a weeks stay, however I wouldn't have liked to stay in peak season as I don't think the pools would have coped with the volume of people. The apartment wasn't the cleanest and it could do with a new coat of paint. The beds were also incredibly uncomfortable, so much so that I dreaded going to bed every night. New bedding and mattresses are badly needed. Port Bessin and the surrounding areas including Bayeux are lovely. I would love my own holiday home in this area, I can't fault it at all.

Beautiful location
Not a typical hotel in that these are more like an apartment rental but there is a reception/staff to assist you if you need help. The location is beautiful in the French countryside near a golf course. There are bikes to rent and three pools one indoor pool and 2 outdoor pools. The lobby had a handful of games and toys for kids to play with. Our family (4 kids ages 18 thru 10) really enjoyed our stay. You would need a car to get around to visit the area to see the WW2 memorial sites Etc..
