Orthez Holidays from £307

Good condition hotel but on main road long walk onto but golf course was an added bonus will be back though

It was a wonderful pleasure to stay at Auberge Ostape. Our only regret is that we only stayed two nights. It is hard to get to and incredibly worthwhile once you get there. The staff is most gracious and the restaurant is extraordinary. We hope to return.

Studio was well equipped, comfortable and quiet. Bathroom clean, shower good with lots of hot water. Pool area lovely, lots of sun loungers. The area outside the studios looks very desolate and not well maintained, this may be due to the location - we were on the sea side of the complex which is across the road from the main facilities and the pool area which is the forest side. Signage to get there very poor (Google maps takes you to the locked sea side location, the reception is across the roundabout on the forest side). No signs that we could see. Be aware that when we got to our room the bed was not made up - when we asked at reception we were told that bedding and towels were not included - when I showed them the page from Expedia listing saying they were included they gave us towels, bedding and toiletries. WiFi is extra (€6 for 2 devices for 2 days) but is excellent (note you cannot swap devices from the first one that is connected). Good location to explore the area and for a few relaxing days by the pool.

The location is amazing, very peaceful, surrounding villages are stunning, overall a great location. The hotel, though, was quite old and run down. We booked as thought to be family and child friendly but it seems more targeted for senior visitors. The swimming pool was a good surprise, nice and big, perfect for the hot weather. The main problem was lack of air conditioning, it was a very hot day/night, making it impossible to sleep with the heat.

Wonderful spot on the beach. Great rooms, food, location and top notch staff. Hated to leave!!
