Although we were given very reasonable rates for our accommodation it was not the premises we first saw on the internet. The rich, in the loop French tourists got those rooms. My partner is a vegetarian and we had a very difficult time communicating with the waiters despite my OK French. It seemed the waiters thought we were 'a pain'... More

We arrived here as stop number two in a 4 stop/ 3 town tour in May 2011. It was not so difficult to find, we followed the road around the sea until we found it. When we got there we were greeted by a big gruff man who we later learnt was nicknamed "Bis". We were unable to book online... More

It does however have an excellent view from the... More

In December 07 the gorgeous view from my room at the Araignee did not compensate for its cold and dampness. The gloomy bathroom flooded each time the shower was used and the towels were better suited to rubbing down woodwork than drying human skin. However, the staff were lovely - especially the dentally-challenged major domo. The astonishing seafood extravaganzas are... More
