Everything You Need to Relax

Customer review rating 4.4/5

Jennifer Solo - 08/09/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Audrey at the Reception made everything easy and friendly for my last-minute stay. She made me feel welcome immediately and even upgraded my room. The facilities are well-designed for ultimate r&r, even during the COVID19 pandemic. Safety and hygiene protocols were well-executed. The only negatives for me were the in-attentive and unfriendly poolside waiters and attendants (I had to actually stop a server and ask for service after she walked right by me for the 5th or 6th time during 20 min. And the area was nearly empty). And the quality of the food—room service and poolside—was disappointingly average. Also, please provide hand & body lotion with the bathroom amenities! Overall, however, you can forget indifferent poolside attendants, dry skin, and overcooked burgers with undercooked fries with the sound of ocean waves and the tranquility of the property.

Sin-par COVID control

Customer review rating 4.4/5

Steve Families - 24/08/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Nice suite (prestigie), however, located above the parking ramp which meant that early in the morning it was very noisy as a result of what we think must have been deliveries. The hotel is clean and the staff helpful and attentive, however we were shocked by the lack of COVID controls in the swimming pool area, with very little space between seats and a lot of people. This certainly detracted from our experience.

Dear Guest, I would like to thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Sofitel Biarritz le Miramar. I deeply show my apology about any inconvenience you have experienced in your room with the noise the deliveries. I have notified the situation that you mentioned above to the department concerned. Regarding the COVID measures, we have implemented a strickt protocol to promote barrier gestures and ensure your safety, both in the establishment and around the swimming pool. Once again, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Sincerest regards, Emmanuelle Cabannes-Mahé Communication & Quality Manager

We had a great stay. The staff were excellent and the service more than made up for a hotel room starting to show its age. In these days of Covid this worked out perfectly, although the breakfast coffee was not great.

Nice view from our room, but our children room not so nice

Customer review rating 4.4/5

G. Families - 14/08/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Your hotel has a good location and the pool was very nice. The rooms are nice and the beds very comfortable. Housekeeping staff very friendly and clean well. If I may make a suggestion offer a water cooler upstairs by the poolarea. This as your waiter staff never is around to order a drink and if you do it takes forever. Your cocktails are horrible in a tiny plastic cup and tasteless. I understand the use of plastic by the pool but there must be nicer glasses to serve a nice cocktail which cost you 12 euro. As I said service by pool so slow that I am sure you miss a lot of revenue there! Why not ask staff to go and see guests if they like a drink? We had to search high and low for a waiter. I am sorry to say and than there mostly very grumpy. However your Concierge Claude and his staff are fantastic. Friendly and service orientated and you expect in a 5 star hotel. Always with a smile and patient. John and Gorka and his team always around for help and advice. Thanks to these guys our stay was amazing. Your reception staff was friendly and fast. The restaurant I was disappointed by the first evening the quality/price did not level so we decided to eat of the hotel for the next 16 nights. Overall we had a good holiday and stay. Thank you very much

Dear Guest, We would like firstly, to thank you for the time spent in writing this review since every comment is essential for evaluating and correcting our weaknesses. We are sincerely sorry to note that the service around the swimming pool as well as the restaurant did not satisfy you.

Wonderful location, aged amenities, terrible front desk experience

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

kirillbond2020 22/07/2020 TripAdvisor review

The hotel has everything going for it - superb location, large rooms with terraces, excellent pool and spa facilities however the rudeness and incompetency of the guest relations manager and some of the front desk staff has spoiled our 8 night stay - we got the worst placed room with leaky bathroom ceiling, had to repack and wait to be moved to a new room (not an upgrade) that had construction in front of windows. When we finally were offered an acceptable room (only available upgrade), we lost a day moving 3 rooms in one day and the hotel staff lost my shows when moving my luggage. Only bright light was the hotel manager Celine stepping in on LAST day to offer compensation for lost shoes.

We did spend the WE in this hotel and it has been a wonderful experience since we entered the hotel. Most important feeling has been the customer focused attitude of the team. We did enjoy location, big size of the room with nice view on the sea, food at the restaurant was great including dinner and breakfast and the spa is worth spending some leisure time. The hotel is well located to visit the city .
