Best Western Golf Hotel Lacanau

“Peaceful hide-away”

Now, you ought to know I am not a lover of handicaps. Bright trousers and polo shirts, delicately placed gloves flapping from my buttocks, assertive conversations, not my idea of a holiday. But this place is very lovely - its people, its ambiance, its peace, its beauty, its proximity to coast and… Plus

Now, you ought to know I am not a lover of handicaps. Bright trousers and polo shirts, delicately placed gloves flapping from my buttocks, assertive conversations, not my idea of a holiday. But this place is very lovely - its people, its ambiance, its peace, its beauty, its proximity to coast and country. We stayed there again this year for the second time and felt thoroughly welcomed. Our family room was good, the food unpretentious and relaxed, smiles all round. Our boys even banged a few balls around on the practice green before we walked the 30 mins to the beach. Money well spent.

“Amenities far exceed room quality”

It's a lovely setting with the golf course among the pine forest...year round swimming pool and whirlpool.....fitness center.....BUT then there are the rooms..Storage for luggage is the high point...small....no desk.no fridge,,no micro.and probably the absolute worst bathroom set-up I've ever seen.… Plus

Best Western isn't doing their brand image any good.

“Depends what you want”

The good, lovely quiet location in the forest surrounded by a golf course. Our room on the first floor looked out to the forest, all the rooms have balconies and from there we saw red squirrels, deer, woodpeckers, nuthatches and all manner of other birds.

The good, lovely quiet location in the forest surrounded by a golf course. Our room on the first floor looked out to the forest, all the rooms have balconies and from there we saw red squirrels, deer, woodpeckers, nuthatches and all manner of other birds. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and some spoke English, but we had a bit of French so got along very well. Not very impressed with the restaurant, we only ate there once during our week stay and it was just OK, much better places (e.g. Riad Marrakech or Le Bistrot des Cochons) in Lacanau Ocean. Didn't eat breakfast there. Small but decent gym and good spa with a pool. The hotel is looking a bit tired in places and isn't very well maintained, looks like Best Western aren't investing as much as they could here, maybe not enough competition to make them. Expect the manager will reply to this with the identical copy/paste he seems to use to reply to most reviews of his hotel, which doesn't inspire confidence, but this place does have its good points as others have said.
