Hôtel et Résidence La Réserve

We did not plan to stay in St jean de luz as we flew in to san sebastian last minute. There were no hotels available since it was a nationaly holiday on october 12. We were completely unaware so I went on hotels.com to find the nearest hotels. St jean de luz was the closest city and this hotel stuck out because of its great reviews. Hôtel et Résidence La Réserve lives up to all the great reviews. the hotel is overlooking the water. They offer rooms with balconies so you can enjoy the view and catch a beautiful sunset/sunrise. I'd highly suggest this as I witnessed one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen. The Language barrier was no problem here for american travelers. The hotel staff spoke perfect english. One last thing I must boast about is the dinner at their restaurant. My girlfriend and I ate dinner here and had the best meal on our trip thus far. The food was exquisite and the service was excellent. all servers were very personable. I suggest the 7 plate course. It's the chefs pick and the chef at their restaurant is truly skilled. All in all this hotel really offered a splendid stay, Id highly suggest even just one night at this hotel if you are visiting this area

The hotel is in a beautiful situation and the landscaping is very attractive too.It's an easy walk with great views into St Jean de Luz. The room was comfortable and regularly serviced. Although expensive, breakfast was excellent. We found the front desk staff exceptionally helpful - they went out of their way to help us with our plans and arrangements.The only blip was that we were not allowed an iron or ironing board in the room and had to walk through the gardens to another building to a bleak laundry room just to iron over our shirts!

A relaxing hotel on a bluff 20 minute walk along sea promenade or 5 minute drive from the center of charming St Jean de Luz. Hotel has lovely terrace & rolling lawn down to heated pool. Waves crashing on rocks below. Spend the evening strolling the pedestrian area of town before dining in one of the countless restaurants. Take a day trip to San Sebastián, Bayonne or Basque villages.

We enjoyed a large apartment in La Residence building, overlooking the pool and the ocean, ideal for families, with separate kitchen, living room, bedroom. Efficient staff. Great location, walking distance to town, beautiful views on the walking path to St Jean de Luz.

We love it. Hotel is within the “ville d’Hiver” site of many beautiful old and luxurious villas.

Just the perfect place to stay! You can see and hear the ocean from your room, and although I’m sure the hotel was full it never felt like it. The pool is beautiful and never crowded. The hotel is a 15 min stroll from the beach at St Jean de Luz - the most beautiful of all the towns in the basque coast. We also ate in the restaurant once and had a fantastic meal - 6 course “Carte Blanche” tasting menu.

Pleasant room with balcony and a glimpse of the sea. Lovely gardens and view over the ocean. Delicious food.

Incredibly relaxing. Great accommodations and restaurant, amazing pool. Wonderful walk into town. Highly recommended.

I have always loved to stay at La Reserve, a superb location, best refined local food and great atmosphere. Saint Jean de Luz is truly a wonderful town.

We had a fantastic stay at La Reserve. We loved the room which went straight out into the beautiful gardens. Despite it being October l still managed a swim in the infinity pool overlooking the sea. We ate in the hotel one night and that was a real treat. The hotel is very well situated for walking to the beach and into St Jean de Luz.
