Reviews for Hotel Le Boucan Canot
Review 1：The staff were absolutely amazing. I was travelling with my 88 year old mother (she celebrated her birthday during our stay - and they made this such a special occasion) and everyone was incredibly friendly and supportive. Nothing seemed to be too much bother for them. They also encouraged me to speak my terrible French, even though mostly their English was excellent. Everything was perfect!
Review 2：No airport shuttle,no maps,no hot shower,no tea(except herbal),struggle to get milk for my own tea, also for adequate number of towels.No help getting a tour. Little "English"among staff so little help. French speakers might be better served. Hotel almost empty with deserted air despite advertising "last room available" on web. Booking.com rate same as Rack rate - no saving.
Review 3：Location,Cleanliness
Review 4：Clearly a case of bad management. Loveless guiding and no quality management lead to many strange things like a set of conveyance rules pointed out here and there, that should propably help the impression of a high standard - but do instead give the impression of a chippy, governessy mind behind it. Order a capucino at 6€ a cup - and get something really totally undrinkable from the bar. Find a day bed in the garden - taped all over the lying surface with ugly, dirty plastic foil. Follow the signs to ocean level - ending in a filthy wooden shed. The whole place could be really great, even fantastic - if someone would care to make it a nice and friendly place and eliminate the totally strange gaps everywhere. We booked a Junior Suite and expected just a nice, easy place as the wooden architecture let us hope - but the clear lack of a friendly mind made it disappointing from the first night on. Good for us we were cautious enough because of the annulation rules that didn't match a satisfying appeal and we booked only three nights. After the first night, we asked to cancel our stay over booking.com - the management of the hotel did not even respond with any reaction to our wish.
Review 5：Nice service and food at breakfast
Review 6：The fridge is really dirty inside Poor cleaning of the toilet floor (especially the corners!) No replacement of teabags or coffee in the room Stains on bath towels (several times!) No replacement of toilet paper Some towels were not replaced in the bathroom There is only a very thin cover sheet as bedclothes, for this prize I would expect a real blanket with washable cover 50 Euro charge in case of loss of a pool towel is pretty much Lots of ants in the room Permanent re-registration for internet necessary Cold light of energy saving lamps Dinner was better and cheaper at the neighbouring restaurant There is no easy usable shower or water to wash sand of the feet when coming from the beach There is no notepad/pen in the room Parking is quite small No map to indicate the way to a requested place nearby offered For this prize I would expect much better, it does not meet standard expectations.
Review 7：Friendly staff Generally a very nice place Good snorkeling location View to the beach
Review 8：The shower was dirty, there was a lot of hair everywhere, overall it did not feel very clean. The breakfast, very basic for a 4 star.
Review 9：Space Parking Restaurants around the hotel
Review 10：Nothing!
Review 11：Top service which made us feel relaxed and at home. The staff were brilliant! Food in the restaurant was wonderful too.
Review 12：The staff at the reception were lovely and very helpful in helping us organise our day trips with local operators.
Review 13：Poor wifi connection.
Review 14：Amazing ocean view from blacony! Close to restaurants!
Review 15：There isn't anything I didn't like...
Review 16：Waking up to the sound of the crashing waves every morning, the view of the ocean from my room.
Review 17：Bed quite hard, room very small, decor average. Restaurant poor quality and vastly over-priced, do NOT eat here!!
Review 18：Great location on the beach
Review 19：Internet connection is a disaster. The connection disrupts several time. So you have to type in user and password again. The bed was not clean Breakfast was very poor with little options. There were insects running around in the ham, the cheese. Plus, fresh orange juice has to be paid extra !?! And only a single person to serve all the people. The beach is dirty. Everywhere you find trash. In the room you have a a coffee set with no creamer and no complimentary water. The hotel is totally overpriced and not worth a stay. I am glad that I had to stay just one night.
Review 20：What a wonderful people work in the hotel! Always helpful and passionate for their work! Wonderful and not very crowded beach just in front of the hotel
Review 21：As LP puts it, the whole place is ageing (not just a little) bit. The net was down for four consecutive days - I guess all the conference-guys went crazy about that. Maybe it took longer to repair, we have left in the meantime. Our bathroom was very disappointing, it seriously needs a major renovation - the tiles looked very old and the pointing between them must have not been cleaned for ages.
Review 22：The location is truly excellent, breakfast is good (never tried room service though), and the view from your window is simply great. The staff is trying to do everything to make you feel comfortable, which includes trying to communicate in English (which is a rare asset in such a Frankophone place).
Review 23：Nice hotel in "old style", perfect staff, very good restaurant and beautifully located on the cliff. The restaurant don't offer hot-dogs and hamburgers but serve good french cousine.
Review 24：It cannot be a 4 stars hotel And it is not a hotel where we have to pay 179 euro
