Hotel La Bateliere

Grand older hotel in fantastic location with open design that allows enjoyment of climate and sea views from lobby/restaurant/bars. Good swimming pool and small beach. Our superior room with sea view was enjoyable. Needs some renovation.

Hotel very tired and some of the staff are dreadful. Not prepared to give the guests a glass of tap water

The hotel is old and in need of refurbishment. We were initially given a room which meant walking a long way. This room was substandard, had a view of a building site and the door card didn't work (we tried several). They then put us into a better room but this was dated. There was a lot of marble, including around the pool, which was dangerous and slippy when wet. The bar, which stayed open late, did not sell wine although the one downstairs by the pool did. The wifi only worked intermittently. The TV stopped working after 2 days and wasn't fixed. We never got into the hotel car park although there was parking in a field and on the road outside but these were badly lit at night. The worst thing was an incident at the pool one afternoon. There was an invasion of about 15, or more, black teenagers who tried to intimidate the hotel residents. They jumped into the pool shrieking and splashing everyone. I was particularly vulnerable as they threw their backpacks around the space where I was sitting. Eventually a "security" guy came and got about half of them to leave but he refused to deal with the remainder who were still in the pool and whose bags were still around where I was sitting. They eventually left but then some of them returned a short time later and jumped into the pool again. There is no security to prevent people who are not resident from using the pool. I found this threatening and when I tried to complain all the reception staff claimed not to unde

The location is great, the staff are wonderful and the buffet breakfast is the best. That more than makes up for the condition of the facility which clearly needs renovation. I know they are struggling financially and I hope they find the funds to do the necessary renovation. But meanwhile, I would not hesitate to stay there again and highly recommend it. Nothing like sitting on the veranda and watching the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen. And Lili's restaurant on the little beach is wonderful.

Lovely position but hotel is showing its age

Hotel is run down and in a bad condition

If you are wanting to do beach stay close to cruise and airport this works. Some of the rooms are dated. Whole place needs updated but guess they dont have maintenance dept. Front counter very slow and if you are american not real helpful. Beach area and pool area great. Food is great at both locations but make res. when possible. Breakfast is the most amazing breakfast we ever had at a hotel. Service there was incredible, had a group leaving early for airport opened 1 hour early just for us. Thanks for that! Not much to walk to around property, street dangerous and most everything closes on Sunday on island. Just up the hill an amazing pizza place

The place was dumpy and needs a serious facelift. The only goodbye part was how amazing the beach is.

Hotel needing updating. Service was extremely slow at front desk except for Gladys. Her service was excellent. If you are English speakiing there are some challenges.

Great location , great value. Staff is friendly, Great beach access and the view is priceless
