Lac de Gérardmer

Did what it said on the tin. Absolutely spotless, great spa facilities, pool was quiet and exceptionally clean. Three different saunas, we had two rooms as we wee visiting with teenage children, they were the only children in the hotel at the time, definitely more adult orientated but the staff were friendly and welcoming. Restaurant was pricey - we’d onky booked breakfast initially, and an evening meal cost £130 euros for four meals (no deserts or starters) and two soft drinks and some wine for the adults. I had the tofu flambé which was enough to feed two - but we had ordered one each which was way too much - but that’s really the worst I can say - everything else was spot on, breakfast was lovely and lots of choice. There are activities during the day - we went “Nordic walking” with an instructor who guided us through a lovely walk through the forest. We also made good use of the gym, sauna and pool which were all immaculate. I also opted for a 50 minutemassage which was a reasonable price of about 60 euros. Rooms were cleaned daily and towels replaced if you wanted them. Gowns and slippers also provided as were pool towels, so no need to bring your own. In the local area there are also other bars and restaurant although it’s quite quiet and has a residential feel rather than a touristy part of the forest. Only a short drive from Schlusee which has lots of Great Lake activities and restaurants.
