Ara Dune Hotel

Quiet location Just over the border from France, a good stop if you are heading north from Clais. Quiet location, parking appears limited at first sight but the hotel will tell you where you can park if you arrive when the restaurant is busy. Staff all very friendly, welcoming and professional. Bedroom is by some standards "neat" but comfortable and clean. It is obvious that the owners are hands on and want to build and maintain a good reputation. Breakfast buffet is comperhensive and the restaurant is light and pleasant. Ate in the restaurant and would do so again. Will certainly return and recommend this 3 star hotel.

Had a wonderful experience at this hotel. Stayed for one night as a stopover on the way back to le shuttle as a couple in our 30s. The receptionist upon arrival was very friendly and professional, she gave us a quick tour of the amenities and even offered us a choice of a free welcome gift! The gift shop, lobby area and guest lounge are all beautifully kept with nice furnishings. We were given room 101, it was decorated very nicely with a large and very comfortable bed and big windows overlooking the front of the hotel. More free gifts of good quality chocolates and clarins toiletries were in our room and I enjoyed a wonderful soak in the deep bath in our bathroom. Really appreciated the good quality hair dryer provided! We slept very well and was only awoken by the resident cats asking for their breakfast outside below our room which we didn’t mind! Not sure if they rescue these cats but they looked very well cared for with their outside shelters. My only negatives about our stay is that the music played in the shop below although pleasant, it is rather loud and can be heard word for word in room 101. This only really affected us because we spent the afternoon in our room because of the rain, the music is turned off at a very reasonable hour when the shop closes. Upon checking out we were given another gift of a coupon to use against a future stay. The hospitality and generosity of this hotel really didn’t go unnoticed and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. I only wish we had been able to try the restaurant, it seemed popular with local residents.
