Hôtel & Spa Face À la Mer

This place is perfect! This was our last part of a trip in France and it did not disappoint. The hotel is right on the beach and has plenty of amenities near by. The duplex apartment was modern, clean and has everything you could need for a great stay. 5 star ⭐️ place with perfect staff. Also highly recommend the breakfast, yummy and great quality.

Face a la Mer - Merville Franceville Plage This is a favourite – perfectly situated – as name says – opposite the sandy beach stretching almost from the Orne to Dives sur Mer and beyond. Backed by dunes, perfect for quiet sunbathing. Outdoor terrace to watch smart Parisians parade with designer kids. Lots of beach activity to see: kite surfing, beach volleyball, digging for cockles, shore fishing, trotting ponies. Dog friendly. Glorious sea-facing rooms, coastal, casual décor, dreamy beds, breakfasts to last you the day. Difficult to single out what gives it the top edge – possibly the staff headed by Jean-Jacques and Emma (perfect English, helped us access complex booking arrangements over the Channel.) After hectic days eating at Trouville fish market, watching the Ferraris and Maserati, it’s good to curl up in the comfy bar with a croque monsieur, cheese or charcuterie board and bottle of rose. Cannot recommend this highly enough. Good shops in Merville too!

Really great location right in front of the beach, sandwiched by a free parking lot (park here during your stay). The staff is very pleasant. If you're used to staying in a branded hotel, this hotel missed the mark. It was almost no frills. There was only hand wash and a shampoo/body wash combo thing. Not even lotion? There were also a couple of small pieces of hair on the sink counter when we checked in. The in room tea/coffee is packaged powder, no pods. Wifi only worked half the time...would all of a sudden get dropped. Certainly can't connect for a Zoom call. The bed was way too firm, we didn't sleep well. Also, for a 'spa hotel', no slippers or robes? Didn't bother to try the breakfast so no comment there. Amenities were disappointing.

This hotel is definitely a destination hotel. Merville-Franceville-Plage is a sleepy town that you can cross in minutes. The hotel is literally face à la mer (next to the sea). Bring your beach items, walk across the street and you're right at the beach. It's lovely. The lobby of the hotel is very tastefully done. Modern. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed. Our view of the sea was exquisite. The toiletries in the room were of a very nice quality (I wish I would have written down the name so I could buy some). We did not hear our neighbors the whole time we were there. Breakfast---wow. This is the best hotel breakfast I have ever encountered. So many cakes,pastries, jams, viennoiseries, just wow. On nice days you can also sit outside. Service- Service was absolutely professional. I speak French, so I cannot attest to how it is in English but I imagine it's great. The spa--- The spa is tiny and made private. The size is perfect for a couple. The hamman was lovely, the whirlpool was delightful, and the nordic shower felt great. We will gladly return to this destination. Bravo, toute l'equipe de l'hotel! There are a few restaurants in town---so get reservations.

We spent three days here at the height of Storm Arwen. We cannot speak highly enough about this wonderful new hotel. It has a world-beating position on the Merville Franceville beach. The hotel is modern, beautifully furnished with exceptionally comfortable beds and immaculate rooms. Best for us was the little balcony overlooking the sea. Manager Jean Jacques is a caring host, taking the trouble to ensure we were comfortable and Emma on reception helped us with Covid form filling thanks to her perfect English. You could eat as much as you wanted to at breakfast and there was a wide variety of food on offer for the largest appetite! The little bar was cosy in the evening and Jean Jacques prepared cheese boards for us when we could not get to the neighbouring restaurants. We've stayed at hotels with less to recommend them at double the price. A magnificent trip to France during a brief 'window' of opportunity before Covid arrived again. We will be back as soon as we can!

Hôtel moderne qui, comme son nom l'indique, est vraiment situé face à la mer. La chambre vue sur mer avec terrasse était impeccable, le petit déjeuner au top et l'accueil positif. Petit bémol, nous avions réservé pour 2 nuits, notre carte de crédit a été immédiatement débitée. Nous avions demandé de prolonger d'une nuit et nous avons dû payer à notre arrivée ! Nous avons pour habitude de payer à notre départ. C'est étrange comme pratique. L'hôtel ne dispose pas d'un restaurant mais il y en a pour tous les goûts dans le quartier. L'hôtel a été pour nous un point de départ idéal pour visiter la région et notamment les plages du débarquement et le Pays d'Auge qui est à découvrir. Petite attention anecdotique de l'hôtel : un saladier rempli de caramels au beurre salé à la réception. Nous avons été gourmands ...

parfaitement situé réellement face à la mer , une qualité de l’accueil, une propreté impeccable , chambre très agréable , une jolie décoration , un superbe petit-déjeuner , parking facile , calme ; un excellent séjour ; à vivement recommander
