Saint-Julien-dʼArmagnac Holidays from £503

Advertised as a 1 bedroom apartment, it was a studio. Photos are deceiving. The beds are comfortable and the bathroom big. The kitchen wasn't very clean, the hob looked rusty and sticky. Smells like a humid closed space. The staff was kind and there was good communication about check in method when we arrived after reception was closed. Not what we were expecting but fare for the money

La Frégate feels like a weathered beach lodge. It is clean and comfortable and the ocean view (and constant sound of the waves) is everything! The staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast was nice (for an additional €13) and the reception area features a full bar, where you can conveniently order a café or cocktail. The local buses go into Bayonne, Biarritz, Guethary or Saint Jean de Luz. Bedding and bathroom were comfortable. I wish the balcony windows had screens, as small flies appeared on warmer days. But overall, it was a wonderful stay. We recommend this hotel.

It's a beautiful property, perfectly maintained. Staff is great, helpful and friendly, food at breakfast is great and the views are unbelievable. Most definitely would recommend to anyone traveling to Biarritz, it is definitely worth it.

This place should be shut down - forget about the reasonable price because when a property is this run down they shouldn't be taking anyone's money! It was dirty and poorly equipped and l am surprised it would pass health and safety regulations. We were booked for two nights but only tolerated one and that was because it was too late to cancel. It's an utter disgrace.

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.
