Hôtel Valdys Thalasso & Spa - l'Escale Marine

pas acces thalasso pas de plateau de courtoisie

This review only focuses on the restaurant as we did not use the hotel itself. We had dinner there on Saturday, and the only good point was the efficient and fast service. Meal names on the menu were complicated and intended to be sophisticated but what we got in the plates looked more like defrozen and canned food coming from the industry. For instance the main meal came with (obiously) defrozen broccolies and mushrooms (and also a hardly baked half-potatoe) while the "kouign aman" cake (a local specialty) for dessert was dried and had obviously either been prepared ages ago or hastily defrozen. We guess the restaurant relies heavily on processed food. It has too many meals on its menus to really prepare them on demand. We suspect the extensive use of canend and frozen food, except perhaps for people being on a half board plan? For the price paid, much better is available in quaint local restaurants.

Although the hotel was not to bad overall ( it is classed as 3 star), i have come to expect a little bit more. For me it is the small things that make the difference. 1 _ no tea/coffee making facilities in the room ,you can ask but why should you? 2 _ the breakfast was expensive for the quality provided ( only hot food sausages ,scrambled egg). 3 _ no little bathroom toiletries. The access to the spa next door was by under ground passage so you have to make sure too take flip flops( also you need a bathing cap ).

Positive: enjoy sea water even in winter Negatives: massages are not "wow" it's not a complete relaxation at all, rooms are very bright to be able to sleep and relax; the music which is centralized, is very loud, i get massage and they don't even put cover the body part which are not being massage, seems that they are really cost cutting, very cold. Restaurant, is not a class.

DECEVANT JE NE RECOMMANDE PAS... Pas assez d'équipements ludiques: un malheureux jet pour les épaules, 2 jaccuzis surbookés dont on nous éjecte au bout d'un quart d'heure pour laisser la place, sauna et hammam surbookés également ....on finit par chercher un transat pour lire tranquillement: transat impossible à trouver plus de dispo !!! Restaurant décevant également : plats à moitié froid et pas terrible, vins chers ... je ne retournerai pas à la thalasso de douarnenez

Établissement très calme et proche du bord de mer. Nous avons passé une nuit avant de profiter de la thalasso. Tout était parfait.
