Alllergen in food is poor
As the hotel is at least 30 to 50 mins away from other restaurants depending on which way you walk, then best to book at least b&b or 1/2 board. It needs to sharpen up its treatment of allergens in the food served. Whilst it has a notice tooked away at the entrance of the restaurant this does not include the plat de jour menus, the menus do not make reference to allergens either. So i was faced with a steak which came with mushroom puree covered in nuts. Also nuts are only classified as peanuts in the allergen menu and therefore the hotel excludes hazelnuts, almonds etc. For a hotel of this quality this should be improved

Indoor pool not for children.
A nice hotel with good rooms and EV chargers. The big let down was the pool which refused entry to children. The minimum age was 12 which both children were over and both children wore the required swimming hats. However they decided that their swimming shorts did not meet their regulations and speedos had to be worn, so they were turned away.

Needs some improvment in services
Air Conditioning Cooling & Heating cannot be adjusted to your own requirements it is controlled by the reception manager if they decide that they will set it for heat you cannot get cooling The outside temp during the day was around 25 Deg Celsius making the room too warm even at night Cooling was not available as the hotel had switched over to heating as it was the end of the hot season. Ended up sleeping with the window/door to the balcony open to get fresh air these were not fitted with insect screens making for an uncomfortable night Internet was painfully slow

Quite location but nowhere to far away.
Great Hotel location great if you do not mind walking a couple of Kilometers, also on bus route so those not so energetic can access town easily. Room and staff very good an as per description however as with most of my Hotels.com bookings I always seem to be positioned in an out of the way room!! Amenities very good but be prepared to pay top dollar for food, drinks and spa treatments.

Modern spa hotel
Modern spa hotel. Clean comfortable room and ensuite. Tea and coffee making facilities in room. Good variety at breakfast - although fresh fruit was nearing its sell by date. Overall breakfast was overpriced. Heated sea water pool and relaxing pool area. Good spa facilities. However, there were time restrictions with regards to using the spa that were not made clear on booking. Regulations with regards to men's swimwear varied from day to day. Regulations with regards to swim caps loosely applied - women allowed in spa with shower caps and full make up. Staff friendly and helpful Close to beach. town centre 30 minute walk. bus stop nearby - buses to town centre and tourist attractions (possibly summertime only)

BIg holiday/conference hotel
Decent enough large hotel, well run and clean with attractive gardens and pool. Peaceful and spacious, with lots of outside terraces for drinking and eating. Helpful receptionists. Good location. Odd areas of "meanness"; supposed to use bath towels for bathroom and swimming in seawater pool with no way to dry them. Unimpressed by dining room as food uninteresting and not much choice, quite expensive too.

Good location. Beach close by. Centre of Arcachon 15 minute walk. Good bus service during the summer. Room clean and comfortable. Bed comfortable . Good quality bedding/towels. Tea and coffee making facilities in room. Heated sea water pool. Indoor pool and spa offering good facilities, though need to check availability to guests as there are some restrictions with regards to spa facilities. Regulations regarding mens swimwear seems to vary according to staff on duty. Swim caps required in spa but staff lax with regards to allowing women to use shower caps with hair hanging out. Buffet breakfast: croissants, bread, bacon (fatty) eggs, yoghurts, fresh fruit (nearing best before date) fruit juice etc. Adequate but expensive for what was offered.

Relaxing!
Hotel les Bains 'Arguin exceeded expectations. Hotel is tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean. All staff are helpful and smiley. A great choice on the buffet breakfast and evening meals were innovative and elegantly presented with good food. There was no problem in supplying gluten free meals for me. The Hotel has a relaxing ambience helped along by the Spa so guests wander about in the white towelling robes. Pool is attractive. Beautiful beach just five mins walk max through pine trees. All in all, a relaxing holiday in an efficient, friendly and well run hotel in a classy resort. We will be back!

Nice!
Nice stay! It seems the hotel has been renovated but the carpets were forgotten lol. The rooms were modern and comfortable with good amenities. Check which room you book if you want to have access to the spa - Basic rooms mean you can not access the spa until after a certain time! The restaurant was lovely though quite expensive. There was a mosquito in my starter and we were offered 40% off the dish!! My husband complained and eventually they took the start up off of the bill. You are not far from the beach and a short drive to the city centre and the dunes. The reception staff could do with a smile.

Excellent quality hotel, great location near beach
Very good hotel - had everything - private balcony, airconditioned rooms. Good restaurant indoor/outdoor, excellent service. Small bar area near reception. Pools and spa available - only used the outdoor sea water pool - lovely. Short walk to the beach and promenade - fantastic beaches all along this coast. Slightly outside town centre in very select area. Bicycles at front door for hire. Town centre has another fabulous beach and lots of good quality restaurants specialising in seafood/fish.

Great Hotel, but.............
This hotel is well placed for magnificent beaches and many activities. Unfortunately the location of swimming pool next to restaurant terrace (we felt like the entertainment). Agree with other comments, needed to squeeze through conference delegates and the smoking terrace, is the only way to get to the pool. The restaurant was excellent, but if you wanted something less extravagant, there was no alternative. Room service would have been helpful. Fortunately good local bars and restaurants not too far away. Whilst appreciating that early June is not in the full season, it was disappointing not to be told that major construction work was underway to extend the hotel. Tower cranes overlooking the pool not ideal. We may well have changed our booking if we were made aware. This is an excellent hotel, with good well trained staff. Possibly suffering from a conflict in identity. Is it a beach hotel, a conference venue, a 'destination' fine dining restaurant? At times the hustle and bustle in public areas detracted from the ambience of the hotel as a holiday venue.

A comfortable hotel. Rooms and lobby have been recently renovated. There isn't too much right around the hotel but it's a short drive or even walk to spots with restaurants and such.

Superb Location
Superb location, in a quiet suburb, just a few steps away from the beautiful sandy beach of Arcachon. The hotel was comfortable and well maintained. Staff were pleasant and accommodating for the most part although we had problems with poor service in their restaurant. They have two pools but for us a major disadvantage to accessing their outdoor pool was having to push ones way while dressed for bathing through the crowd of non bathers that were drinking and smoking on the terrace to get to it. It would not be difficult to arrange a separate rout to the pool - a shame they have not done it.

Good choice
When I booked this hotel it was purely by chance, and what a chance, set at one end of Arcachan 2 to 3 min from the beach...yes I timed it. Our room was at the front and you could just see the sea from the window but that wasn't a problem at all. We overlooked the car park, but apart from a couple of delivery lorries it wasn't a problem. Altogether a very quiet stay, staff very helpful, my french is what I remember from schooldays, very few English guests in the hotel. A good place for couples who want a quiet place or families as it is so close to the beaches, you can hire bikes, or walk along a 'promenade' into Arcachan. It all felt very safe and yes, we would go again.
