Pierre & Vacances Residence Le Green Beach is a summer holiday rental, not a hotel, and this distinction should be more transparent during booking. Unfortunately, this lack of clarity significantly impacted our experience.
When we arrived, the unit was unheated and incredibly cold, with an indoor thermometer reading below 10°C (50°F). Despite turning on all available heaters and leaving them on while we went out for dinner, the temperature only rose to 11°C (52°F). We contacted reception, but the technician who came simply confirmed the heaters were working and left without addressing the issue. The heating system lacked the capacity to make the unit comfortable, forcing my family to sleep fully dressed in multiple layers. Even after running the heat all night, the ground floor remained freezing, and we left the next morning due to the unlivable conditions.
Other issues included a non-functioning dryer and small, frustrating extra charges—€1 for a second facility map and €0.20 for a splash of milk in a €1 coffee. These fees, while minor, left us feeling nickel-and-dimed.
The property is also remote, requiring a 10-minute drive to the nearest town, which may be inconvenient for some travelers.
While the residence may be suitable for summer stays, it is wholly unfit for winter visits due to inadequate heating and lack of comfort. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend it for off-season stays.
