Interior decor is tired and needs updating. Some of the infrastructure badly needs repairing.

Friendly and convenient resort with great little swimming pool, table tennis tables. All incusive food was excellent at every meal. The only downside was that the hotel is ageing and needs some repair work. The wooden balcony outside our flat was literally crumbling away. The flat really needs updating and renovating. But overall our kids liked the resort a lot and it's a great place for a family trip.

Rooms slightly small but still comfortable.

Fantastic staff and very family orientated.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Oasis of Cleanliness, Calm, and Comedic Relief” After a week-long epic on two wheels—from the glorious green hills of North Wales to the sun-drenched South of France—dodging motorways like they were potholes filled with regret, we finally rolled into Sowell Family Pignada Plage. And what a relief. Let me set the scene: every night before this, we’d stayed somewhere new. Each place was a little game of "guess what's growing in the corner" or "find the light switch before the cockroach does." Bordeaux gets a special mention—beautiful city, but the apartment door opened like it had seen things... terrible things. We laughed. We cried. We sanitized. Then came salvation: Sowell Family Pignada Plage. Spotless rooms! Crisp sheets! Not a single dubious stain or suspicious smell in sight. I nearly hugged the bed (and might have, if my biker leathers hadn’t been sticking to me). The staff? Absolute legends. While their English was as shaky as my GCSE French, we communicated better than most married couples. Smiles, hand gestures, wild guesses—it worked! I asked for a towel and somehow got directions to the beach and a croissant. Perfect. And the food? Oh, chef’s kiss! After days of grabbing whatever vaguely edible thing we could find at roadside stops, the buffet here felt like a Michelin-starred miracle. Ample choice, fresh flavours, and enough variety to make even the fussiest of bikers full and happy. We might’ve gone back for thirds… for research purposes, obviously. The setting is peaceful, the air pine-scented, and the pool looked like a shimmering blue promise of better days. After miles of saddle soreness and a crash course in European plumbing, we finally found somewhere that felt like a holiday. Two nights never felt so luxurious. Merci, Sowell Family Pignada Plage—you’ve restored our faith in accommodation, humanity, and the French hospitality industry.

The reception staff were exceptional, friendly, and helpful. Our room was more than adequate in size, equipment etc for our stay. Your attention to different cuisine for different tastes was very thoughtful and appreciated by us Aussies. The wonderful view while eating breakfast was an added bonus. It would have been wonderful to stay a bit longer to really appreciate all your establishment has to offer, but our travel plans did not allow it, unfortunately.

We were 3 people in a 6 person appartment thus we had plenty of space but for 6 people the space would be more limited I believe. For 6 people the appartment would accommodate 2 on a sofa bed, 2 on a bunk bed & 2 in a double bed.

We were upgraded to a larger room & received an upgrade to an all inclusive package, thus the stay exceeding our expectations. The appartment was very well thought out, clean & modern. The restaurant food was also good & the option to take food away we made use of. Excellent location on a calm inlet from the sea, perfect for children to paddle in & for water activities. The more wild Atlantic coast & amazing beach could be reached within a 20-25 minute walk.

Great location, right in front of a big lake on which we had a nice view. The hotel with appartment are only a nice walk (15-20 min) to the beautiful sea and beach, good for surfing, swimming and pleasant walks. A sailing and surf center nearby as well as Facilities to rent a pedalo boat on the lake with slide. We enjoyed the good food offered by the restaurant catering as well as the breakfast and lunch. We also had dinner in some of the pleasant restaurants around the lake and at the sea side.

Bedroom was a little small for a double bed

Brilliant location next to the beach on a calm inlet from the sea. Surfing not far away along with many other activities. The hotel room was clean and well equipped, the staff were very helpful and made us very welcome

No comment.

Front of house staff were only the best for help and their welcome. Restaurant staff were equally as welcoming.

The appartment didn't have an AC, and ours was located in a way that we had no privacy as the balcony and windows directly looked to the common hallways.

Very spacious and well equipped appartment, close to a nce lake but to the ocean you have to drive. We got an all-inclusive breakfast-lunch for free for our room whihc helped with the price-value ratio.

5pm check in time is very late. We arrived at 4.30 and reception waiting to exactly 5pm before handing over keys . No air con in room.

Location is outstanding. Plenty to do for a family. Secure bike parking provided. Nice breakfast selection

The hotel was 388 euros for 1 night, they told us there was a “special” for booking on booking.com (it wasn’t everyone, was offered the same). The special included all you can drink and eat during certain hours. The food was horrible and it’s only beer until certain hours. The place is 20 minutes from Hossegor, not convenient. The room smelled like chlorine which was to cover up the mold smell. Once the chlorine faded it was awful smelling.

Big clickbait! Be aware! Tourist scam! High price, 0 quality.

We had to wait in the boiling heat for our room at 1700. We were at the private beach area and this woman was just soooo annoyed that my dog was there enjoying not being in the car and wriggling in the sand. Besides that, was not good to not have ac in the room and the bathroom style of having to squeegee every time. We stayed at a different camp area the night before that was more comfortable.

Nice breakfast and areas
