There are three hotels scattered across the street. They appear to be owned by the same management but do not physically connect. The main reception is in the Hotel Elégance which has one of the small pools. Down the road there are some rooms, which appear to be a bit larger and more modern but these have no direct access to hotel facilities. There is no pool here so residents have to walk to the Elégance or cross the road to the Plaisir. The Plaisir houses a further two small pools, one heated, one not, and the breakfast/restaurant area. The rooms at the Plaisir are small and basic, with limited cupboard space for clothes and a small shower room. The TVs in the Plaisir only have French and some German channels, which might be an issue if it rains and the kids want to watch some TV. Intercommunicating rooms appear to be available for families but check that your kids’ rooms are in the same complex as it might be hard to change in busy periods. The Hotel Ile de Re is a bit further down the road, opposite the campsite. Because the properties are scattered, it does not feel like a unified hotel, but it was quiet and relaxed. Overall, it was fine as a base from which to explore this very pretty island, and the staff were pleasant and helpful. It is very close to the lovely Le Bois-Plage beach and about 15 mins walk to the Le Bois-Plage centre, with a market, bakeries, supermarket, some other shops and a few restaurants. There is also a Navette stop close by for free bus rides to the gorgeous St Martin and La Flotte and other parts of the Island.
