B. Families - 06/10/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

My score may seem severe, but it's a question of "expectations". Without being too negative (I will refrain from annoying specifics), I would summarize by saying that I didn't get he impression I was staying at a Sofitel. It "felt" as though Sofitel had just bought a property that they hadn't brought up to norm yet. The positive : the outdoor pool is nice (as is the smaller, indoor one). Thalasso infrastructure = OK, but eg even the Novotel Thalasso at Le Touquet is of higher standard. All in all : disappointing experience that I wouldn't recommend (will personally never return here).

Blissful

Jenny Solo - 02/10/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

I needed a break and this suited perfectly. The hotel is extremely well situated, the room with terrace looking on to the sea just what was needed and every staff member ready to assist.

Nice location just on the beach

Valentina Couples - 29/09/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

+ Very clean and very soft bedsheets and firm mattresses. Spacious rooms and quality products. +++ the Thalasso, of course - restaurant service was very slow, and quite complicated( although is just a brasserie) - they do table service for bread which translates in not having enough bread and always hunting for a waiter to have some more bread; oysters served without butter - we had to ask for butter but nice butter made from raw milk / Loire Valley ; no salt and pepper on the table( we also had to ask for some, and it took a while to get it , wine service very slow - we only had a glass per person because after finishing the glass we couldn’t catch somebody s attention to have some more and we were to busy hunting for butter and salt and pepper. General nice atmosphere but too complicated service that doesn’t cover the basic needs first.

Everything You Need to Relax

Customer review rating 4.5/5

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 3.0/5

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.

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 3.5/5

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.

TripAdvisor rating 3.0/5

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.
