Biarritz, France: Average Review Ratings

Weather

Great weather - most days hot and sunny with only two days of rain and some spectacular thunder and lightning at night

Holiday

We stayed at Le Vieux Port - Messanges about 20miles north of Biarritz - great site for kids and adults. Very large but did not feel over busy or crowded - great pool complex including fun pools, wave pool, toddlers area, waterslides etc. Lots of evening entertainment although we didn't really bother with this. Right on the beach - fab!

Places Recommended

Biarritz is lovely and worth a visit - the beaches are 'calmer' than those on the coast around Messanges etc. The marine lakes are great if you want to avoid the waves completely - great fun and very safe. We took surfboards so spent many days on the beaches especially Souston which was great. All very well patrolled by life guards

Weather

The weather in Biarritz at the beginning of july 2008 was mixed between showery and sunshine. #
When the sun did shine it was quite hot but on a rainy day it felt more like England weather.

Holiday

Our holiday was enjoyable as Biarritz is a lovely area with good shops and lovely beaches.
The obvious downfall was the poor weather.

Places Recommended

Go into San Sebastian in Spain for a visit as it is very close
