Pierre & Vacances Résidence Saint Goustan

This is the second time at this location and we really love this place. This is an apartment-like rental with abbreviated reception hours (morning and late afternoon). The main building used to be a hospital but has been converted into apartments. It is very quiet and a safe location as well. The kitchen has everything you need except an oven and your food of course. The living area has a small television with a coffee table and sofa. The windows really brighten up the entire area. Definitely recommend getting a room with a balcony. There are stairs to the loft area which are very close together so going upstairs is good but going downstairs can be a little unnerving. There are 2 twin sized beds in the loft area and the ceiling height is lower since it is a loft. The bathroom has a large tub and sink. The toilet is included in the bathroom as opposed to being a separate room. There is a closet in the bathroom that has cleaning equipment in it like brooms and a vacuum cleaner. There is even a laundry holder that allows you to lay out laundry to dry if needed. They do have laundry machines (washers and dryer) available if needed for a fee. The rental is available by night or week, etc. Prior to departure, the removal of used sheets and towels are to be left in the bathroom. All garbage must be removed and placed in the location indicated by the facility.

We enjoyed our 3 night stay very much. The hotel was very clean and staff extremly helpful. The kitchen/dinning room was well equiped. The only problem we encountered was the fact that the bedroom was up a flight of very steep stairs and as I have mobility problems I was not able to get up to the bedroom, but we overcame the problem by sleeping in the lounge area on the bed settee and camp bed. The surrounding area was very pleasent with many cafes and restrurants situatated overlooking the harbour.

This place is in a great location - within walking distance of the town and with a beach right in front of it. They have apartments, not rooms -meaning that there is separate room for sleeping. Lots of sleeping possibilities - a loft area with beds, a sofa bed and a pull-out cassock which would make it a great rental for famiies or large groups. There is a good-sized balcony with a table and chairs. There are even two pools - a shallow one for kids and a deeper one for adults. The downsides are: no housekeeping. You are provided with sheets and towels, but are expected to make the beds and pull off the sheets and towels and bring them to the laudry. You are provided with cleaning utensils (broom, mop, vacuum cleaner) but no cleaning products (detergent). The kitchen, while it also has cooking and eating implements (dishes and pots), also doesnn't have any dish detergent, or coffee or tea. It is also rather inadequate with only two burners and a small waist- high fridge. But it does have a dish washer. The other drawback is that no one seems to really know how to speak English here. The desk staff only spoke rudimentry English. If you are part of a large group that doesn't mind cleaning up after itself, and are planning to stay at least a week, and know French well, this is a great place. But if you are just a couple or out to be pampered, forget about it.
