Residence Le Mail Plage

La Couarde-sur-Mer

I came back from a 7-day rental in this residence, which finally turned into 9 days so it was good! And thanks to the flexibility of the nice Proprio people who are staying all the time listening to us!!! In short, the following is at the top and we really felt the importance of being well in their residence. Besides the residence itself was impeccable, small coconut on two floors, with everything you need to live in it.. BEST REPORT QUALITY/PRICE OF THE ISLE! ♀️ Another huge thank you to the Proprio for trusting us, we hope to be able to return to the android in the coming years!! 🏻🏻 Felix, a customer who is more than satisfied 🏻! 😁

On top, simple and effective!!

Hello everyone If you are looking for a top rental to spend a holiday at the sea I recommend this residence. 5min from the sea maxi on foot and again I think it is less than 😁 100m from the market + 100m from a crossroads contact 50m from a large cinema under construction Nearly 200m from restaurants bars Doctors pharmacy..... Calm down! Everything is perfect! Little advice: the terraces are sometimes a little small. We took the apartment number 8 which has a terrace with a great exhibition.... don't be afraid because you have everything at your fingertips! Summer festival 15 minutes walk

The perfect vacation

Clean, light and very well designed apartment, in a large well-maintained residence, close to all shops and beautiful beach at 100 m... car park, bike shop...

A short romantic stay

Ultra clean and pretty sun terrace 200m from the sea 200m shops + market summer 50m from a cinema the pool of the residence is very clean and refreshed us well when too much wind at sea for our baby very calm stay perfect as always it's been 10 years since we came here and what happiness every time

Super apartment very well located

The residence is close to the city center and very close to the beach as well. It's a shame the pool isn't heated because it's cold and there are no transits around the pool.

Very well located residence

To all those who have given negative reviews, I leave this message: but what more do you need? The sea in the room? A swimming pool in the living room? Someone to shop for you? The house should be as luxurious as a five-star one? Frankly, you should not abuse it! The houses are great for having made several over different years and periods. 150 m from the sea 150 m from the market in season 300 m from the city centre A supermarket where you have everything you want at 100 m A private swimming pool for the residence where you have a good time This residence is great!

It's a great vacation 150 metres from the beach.

My partner and I stayed at Le Mail Plage for a week at the height of the French holiday season. It's a basic self-catering hotel in a great location – 100m from the beach and a similar distance from shopping for essentials and the daily morning market (for excellent local produce and tat). There are cafés and restaurants within touching distance, and more of the same in the quaint, pedestrianised village centre, a five-minute walk away.

Apartment 36 (sleeps six with mezzanine, low-ceiling double bedroom, which my wife frequently banged her head on, a single on the landing, a single in the hallway and a pull-out sofa) and offers a view of the, well, car park. That said, it was quiet; most people dump their car for the duration of their stay and take to bicycles. The tiny WC is separate and doesn't have a sink; anyone taller than 6ft would be best advised to sit sideways on the pew with the door open (if your family/partner will accept such a display of openness).   

The pool looked fine and never seemed overly busy but we didn't try it, preferring to walk to the beach or cycle to other beaches further afield.

The self-catering side is well taken care of, including a microwave, four-place hob, dishwasher, toaster, coffee machine (bring a kettle if you like your tea hot) and all the kitchen utensils you could want. But you need to bring sheets/pillow cases, towels, tea towels, iron, rubbish bags, washing-up liquid and anything else you use in normal day-to-day living; the hotel doesn't give so much as a bean of a welcome pack. 

The front desk were very helpful and the free-in-reception wi-fi (bring your own computer) worked but wasn't great. There's a wi-fi hotspot at the tourist office in the village centre that I didn't try.

Our conclusion was that we would have been better off renting a house. We could have had a similarly positioned three-bedroom property for less than the £1000+ we paid, and we'd have had our own outside space.

As for Île de Ré itself, we'll be going back in the not too distant future.

Good and bad

Just returned from a week with hubby and our two adult daughters, only booked a short time ago through Cottages4You.   The apartment was very spacious on two levels, set at front of block, it was clean and tidy but just somewhat tired. We took our own bed linen and towels. The guy in recepiton was always very polite and friendly, the pool was ok, no problem getting a sunbed tho might be different in high season tho who wants to sit at the pool with the beach just a very short walk away!    Il de re is just lovely, hired bikes and cycled all over, local restaurants were good, especially the one oppostie.   Just one thing, would take a kettle next time as only a coffee maker there.  Not much to do for young adults.  Very good value - you cant expect 5 star when you pay those prices ie you get what you pay for!   Will go back.

Slightly tired but clean and spacious apartment

I wasn't sure what to expect after reading reviews but was very disappointed. We found reception staff to be unhelpful and unfriendly, and when we complained about anything all of a sudden they lost ability to speak English. We booked through Welcome Cottages and it stated we had a terrace. When we got there found only 25% of the rooms had terraces. We also found the apartments cramped, not very comfortable and they smelled. They were fairly clean. The actual location was lacing in atmosphere. The best thing was hiring some bikes - Excellent cycle paths North of Island. The best meal we had was next door to apartments which we only discovered on final night. Lovely meal and inexpensive. Certainly not recommended for young couples!!!

Just average...

We were staying in the Residence La Mail Plage 2005 and it wasn't very clean at the time. Still we booked again (prices are really low) and were pleasantly suprised. The supplied linen was whiter than white, individually wrapped in a plastic bag, the apartment was spotless! We arrived outside the opening times of the reception, but no problem, the housekeeper let us in to our apartment (very friendly) Then we jumped into the pool (the beach is 100m away) and our holidays began. Like to mention that we could take our dog into the apartment, she could sleep downstairs and we had peace upstairs. Ile de Re is a fantastic experience, we love the bridge to it, the 9 Euro crossing fee keeps all the riff-raff (I hope you know what I mean) away on the mainland. Dining in St. Martin is superb and very competitively priced. The Residence Le Mail Plage is highly recommended this time.
