Hotel La Vague d'Argent de Cote Thalasso - Ile de Re

We went there just for a relaxing afternoon in March, after months struggling with personal stuff. We were in Ré, so why not try this place. From the very beginning, when booking by phone, to the moment we slammed our car's doors to leave, the experience was great. Friendly staff, from the reception to the locker room, including the person who actually took care of us: always minding about your well being, courteous and smiling. Price range is average for this type of place, as are some facilities which may need some improvement/renovation works, but nothing dramatic in my opinion. - Two saunas with enough room for everyone to enjoy without waiting for their turn, - a big hammam with actual steam and heat, nothing like the other place we tried, near Paris, that woulds simply blow a small steam cloud like a kettle, great for skin preparation, - a saltwater heated pool (highly recommended: it has streams, you can just relax or hold on to the rail circling it to exercise) - two showers to get rid of dead skins, and, - a sundeck. The afternoon entry also gives you access to the spa (basement) which we did not have the courage to try (cold water and we had already spent some time in sauna/hammam/pool, but it's definitely worth it. There were no surprise you do not want to have when going in such places, like closed pool, reservation lost or something. The staff was on time for our "algae skincare" session. We did not sleep nor eat in the hotel, this review is solely based on the thermal baths/spa experience but if you are visiting the island and are wondering where you could go to treat yourself and enjoy a relaxing afternoon, I would recommend this place!
