Partially due to my lobster eating expertise more of that later , and partially due to comparing our Thalasso spa treatment experiences — not sure you are supposed to laugh about these but we loved them and laughed over them at the same time. I mean comparing notes about how one should be cleansed of green algae would make you laugh — smile. The city itself is walled and has a long history of piracy.
It was heavily bombarded in during the second World War. After which Saint-Malo turned into a popular tourist centre, with a ferry terminal serving Portsmouth , Jersey , Guernsey and Poole. The origins of thermal baths and related treatments can be traced back to remote antiquity. Romans were firm believers in the virtues of thermalism and thalassotherapy.
Growing up in New Zealand, very close to the beach, it always feels like coming home when I get to be somewhere close to the seaside. What we have less of in New Zealand however are these fabulous majestic historic hotels situated right on the coast. We had a lovely sea facing room. Each bed with a little treat on top. Cassia kept the pouch and I the beach bag — which I already put to good use throughout our three day stay.
The hotel has rooms in total spread over a new and historic building. For more room pictures see here. Another fabulous surprise treat in our room where the very own Les Thermes Marines house chocolates. Absolutely delicious. To find out more about the chocolate check out: www. After checking in and unpacking we had a wonderful soak in a spa bath with stunning view onto the ocean.
Followed by champagne and chocolate and a body massage. What a way to start! Amazing selection of foods to choose from. More to the point though, put a whole can of coffee on my table and my day is already off to a great start. Cassia kept on sneaking off to the bar for her cappuccino as they really made the best ones there — smile!
