Cordial Biarritz

We stayed at Cordial Biarritz in May of 2026 for 9 nights and had a wonderful stay!

The staff are super friendly and welcoming, bar is well stocked and reasonably priced. We didn’t have a proper meal but other travelers did and it always looked really nice. Chips were fab! Our room was a lot bigger than we expected, great kitchen well stocked for a self catering holiday with all you’ll need. Bonus was the drying area outside the kitchen door. Lovely patio with your own loungers if you don’t fancy the pool. There’s a safe in the bedroom (no extra charge) and TV in both bedroom and living area. Rooms are cleaned to a high standard and fresh towels and bed linen every day. Reception staff are helpful if you need any extra towels/toilet roll, etc. We had a later flight home but there is a changing room facility by the gym with showers and reception supplied us with fresh towels so we could freshen up after a pool day before our transfer arrived. I think our only negative and reasoning for lack of 5 stars would be the pool - there’s so many loungers and no need to reserve them, the pool itself is a great size and not just a deep end, perfect for families with small kids. However, I’m unsure if it was cleaned during our stay and had lots of leaves particularly at one end of the pool. Apart from that, we had a fantastic time for our first stay in Playa de Ingles. It’s a great location, just a 5 min walk from The Yumbo and around 15 mins from the beach - definitely worth a visit and only 7,50€ for 2 loungers and an umbrella. Lots of good bars down the beach too. Thank you for having us, we’d love to return again!

Tips: We upgraded our room during booking to ensure we had air con - definitely a must even in May the room got very hot with highs of 28 degrees. The SuperDino supermarket is literally a 2 min walk and supplies you with anything you may need for a self catering holiday at decent prices. The Yumbo may get a bad rap but honestly made our holiday - there’s so many lovely restaurants decently priced with friendly servers, and Sparkles is a must visit for a night of entertainment. Do not attempt a dinner at Wapa Tapa - the marketing and good reviews drew us in but the food is poor and extortionate, and made one of us sick. But do try Namaste - best Indian we’ve ever had! Tropical is cheap and cheerful, friendly staff and does a mean (and very cheap) breakfast. And Gio’s does lovely food and a great sangria, it’s also the prime spot for people watching.

An enjoyable half-term break here. Accommodation is actually very good. 2 bedrooms, kitchen & dining area, lounge and decent patio. We only had B&B and the breakfast was adequate, but then it's only breakfast! There is a decent supermarket only a couple of mins walk and a small selection of bars. About 10mins is the beach and a wide range of bars and restaurants. Beach is also decent. Pool runs through complex, long but not very wide. There was a bar but we always used the supermarket.
