Résidence Odalys Archipel

I loved our stay here, we stayed for two weeks as a family. I worked remotely for the first week and bought a portable WiFi device with me as I wasn't sure how strong the apartment WiFi would be, when doing video calls etc. Their WiFi is ok but not reliable enough to work for a long period of time. The apartment was clean and large, we had a balcony overlooking the car park, was lovely to have some outside space. Apartment was well equipped with clothes airer on the balcony, basic hand wash and shampoo/body wash in the bathroom. Kitchen stocked for 4 people. There are no starter packs here, so one roll of toilet roll provided, no kitchen bits like kitchen roll, washing up liquids, dishwasher tabs but there is a Carrefour supermarket less than 5 mins walk where you could get everything. Air con was great to have, pool area was lovely, it can get busy at times in the afternoon but always found spare sun beds. Location is fantastic, 15 mins walks into the centre, or 5 mins walk to the water taxi stop, which takes you across the water to the centre for €1.50 each. The staff were lovely, always happy to help, and really knowledgeable with the local area. The bed was quite hard, but that's personal preference. Would be nice to have had a mini starter kit for the kitchen, such as a roll of kitchen roll, tea towel and small washing up liquid but the apartment was really amazing value for two weeks, so this isn't a moan. The laundry room was really useful, with a washer and drier, would be handy to have the instructions in English too.

Really nice hotel which about 15min walk to the town centre. This is a little shorter when you use the water taxi. La Rochelle is a beautiful town with loads to see and this hotel could be the ideal base for you.
