Heure Bleue
Children
- Best for
- Babies and up – children of all ages welcomed.
- Recommended rooms
- The 16 Senior Suites feature a fireplace in the middle, which divides the room and gives parents more privacy. Extra cots and beds (for children aged up to 12) cost €25 a night, including breakfast. There are two sets of interconnecting rooms.
- Activities
- Play on the sandy beach; it's only 100 metres from the hotel. The sea is safe to swim in, but it's on the Atlantic coast so can be a little chilly. Get there first thing to watch the fishermen haul in their catch.
- Swimming pool
- The heated rooftop pool doesn't have a shallow end and is unsupervised, so you'll need to take care with young children.
- Meals
- Children are welcome in the restaurant for all meals, and there's a dedicated children's menu. This child-friendly hotel will provide you with little packed lunches for the kids, and heat up milk and baby food.
- Baby sitting
- This can be arranged at €10 an hour and needs to be booked at least 24 hours in advance; minimum time is two hours.
- Baby listening
- There are monitors available to borrow, but these only really work in adjoining rooms. It's better to use one of the babysitters, particularly for babies.
- No need to pack
- High chairs, cots and baby monitors are available.
- Also
- You can watch cartoons with surround-sound in the hotel's own home cinema (it's best to book this in advance though, as it's very popular with guests of all ages). Every room has a DVD player, and there is a selection of child-friendly films available to borrow for free; remember to bring your child's favourites too, unless you want tantrums.
