Hotel La Bateliere

We would NEVER stay here again. The staff was completely unfriendly and unhelpful. There is NOTHING in this area and they straight LIED about the fitness center (ALL of the equipment is broken). We felt completely taken advantage of. Complete waste of money. The one trip we'd never want to repeat again.

Good standard if a bit dated and tired. Really good standard for this island Good rental car link in this hotel which opens up a whole different aspect for getting around this lovely island Very French both the hotel and the island itself Staff very helpful especially the reception good restaurant but could do with more in the local area Great beach club

I would rate this hotel a solid 4 out of 5*. It was a good hotel with great views, most front desk staff spoke English, nice clean pool and beach adjacent. If that's all you are looking for I would even say it's 5 out of 5*, but if you are looking for more than just R'n'R this is not the place for you. It is not close to the downtown and taxis are VERY expensive...you can walk there but it's about a 40 minute walk and I'm not a slow walker. There is only about 4 restaurants close by, and a grocery store. Only 1 bar called Lili's beach, no clubs (or discos) and not much shopping. If you are looking for a more fun upbeat vacation I would suggest staying closer to downtown... I also liked the food at the restaurants in town better! 😊

The staff was friendly and helpful and several spoke English. The beach and pool were very nice. If you stay here find a sweet lady in the front lobby named Sylvia Maureen. She is the Conciergerie and was wonderful. She helped us with car rental and gave us information that we needed about the area. I highly recommend her services. The food and service was very good.

Good location, attentive staff building and room needs renovation

Good hotel with good facilities and lovely sea views from our room. Friendly helpful staff. Dinner and breakfast were very good and good value. Nice pool but we didn’t use it as we loved swimming on the beach by the hotel.

Hotel La Bataliere is a very good hotel for the price. As long you're not expecting anything super posh, it's a great deal: Good location, good food, friendly staff, clean rooms. When booking, though, be very careful to read up on and to specify what type room you want, as not all have balconies or even electric tea kettles and fridges. Well worth the extra money (and it wasn't much) to have all of the above. More tips:1) Call to confirm (yes, most of the desk staff speak English), as emails aren't always answered.; 2) Bring your own washcloths and an extra beach towel.;3) Change your money elsewhere - bad rate at the desk.; 4) Don't forget your electrical adapter; 5) Check out the Geant Hypermarche - fun! Great pool, the beach is small but very lovely, and Lili's Beach Bar is fantastic. Love the food in the hotel restaurant ( Le Bleu Marine), too. Extra-helpful employees were Jamie at the desk and Alex & Lou Lou (sp?) at the lobby bar, along with all the housekeeping staff (make sure to tip them nightly - they deserve more than the standard, already-included 10%service charge). On the down side, my friend was less than thrilled with the spa services she purchased: The masseuse showed up very late, and the Velodo (waterbike) facility wasn't very clean. Personally, I wish the little basement shop had been open more often for things like postage. Finally, we didn't have a car but many travelers do, so the free parking would be a big plus, as cabs are VERY pricey.

The hotel property grounds are very nice but the room is spacious but outdated. The service at the Blue restaurant was dismal. However, the service at Lily's beach bar was really good. The ocean view was kind of nice but the ugly roof top just really turned me off to it. My favorite part about this hotel was the pool. It was warm and provided me with a great night evening swim. The beach was crowded and turned my husband off. The staff did a great job trying to speak English. I appreciated their help. The bed was hard but at least supportive for our backs. The pillows were AWFUL.

We enjoyed our stay.

The service in Batellier was perfect, the staff was really nice and helpful. The hotel have seen better days I’ll say. It really needs a make over, but clean though. The breakfast was great! Not so much too see/do around the hotel, but we rented a car. The restaurant Lily in the beach that belongs to the hotel was really good, nice drinks. The beach is small, and not private as it says. Everybody was welcome, and that was nice.
