L'Hermitage really exceeded expectations, it is quite glamorous, the welcome was top class and the service throughout was exactly what you expect from a 5 star resort hotel. We loved the beach club, even though as a hotel resident you have to pay for sun loungers, it keeps the beach quiet (and almost child-free!) so you can enjoy reading, sunbathing and sleeping. The Head Concierge was top class, great recommendations and absolutely on it for any request. We had not been to La Baule before, so as uninitiated Brits it was a real delight. The bay and its beach have a real charm, the sea is relatively warm for an Atlantic coast resort, and the constant sports and activities on the beach gave it a good vibe. 2 things about the hotel were that the beach restaurant menu felt a little too formal, we thought there should be more casual dining options during the day. Also our prestige "sea view" room did have a sea view in fairness, but it was on the side of the hotel so we felt a little let down as we had expected it to be a full sea view room on the front of the hotel, suggest you double check whe you book, which we didn't. Staff throughout were plentiful, very attentive and clearly very well trained, which was a real pleasure. We would definitely recommend the hotel and the resort, and would certainly go back.
