Plenty of room to park in the hotel car park - friendly welcome and service - couldn't do enough for us - great buffet breakfast served with a smile, Clean room with TV, hairdryer and comfy beds and a great location between the beach and marina. A great place for a weekend recharge - will be going again. Recommended. Also welcome dogs.

We stayed at the Hotel du Port last summer and were very pleased with the experience. We were visiting family in Perpignan, but stayed in Canet for four nights, so that we could enjoy the beach life as well. The hotel has only a three star rating, probably not because it's not a comfortable little hotel to stay at but rather because it's a bit "old fashioned" in the sense that it has no wi-fi etc. The keys are regular old type of french hotel keys (rather than "smart cards") and you hand it in at reception when you go our for the day (like in the olden daysð). The hotel is family owned and the couple that runs it are really lovely and genuine people. The room was average size, clean and comfortable. There is a lift. We were on the 3rd floor, as I recall. We had a tiny balcony with a bit of sea view. On the Bastille day/July 14th we had a perfect view of the fire works from there.
Canet as a whole was, mostly, pretty and relaxed. There were plenty of things for children to do and our, then, 5-year old enjoyed himself at the fun fair and "adventure" play grounds on the beach (for a small fee). We used one of the private beaches - which was nice. VERY windy on the beach, with quite a fee lady birds blowing in because of the wind. Aldo, red flag (i e no swimming/danger) a couple of days.
It wasm't difficult to find good restaurants for lunch and dinner and we also had lunch at "our" beach restaurant - which was nice.
The hotel breakfast was fine and the staff friendly.
Hotel du Port has a friendly (in a polite and warm French way) atmosphere and I could definitely stay there again.
Great value for money, clean decent hotel

Very good value for money, we paid 105 euros per night in mid-August, which is an excellent price for an hotel so close to the beach! Hotel is a bit older but is spotlessly clean. The room had airco which worked fine.
Decent size room.
Beds are comfortable, there is a small tv with an international selection of channels. About one block from the beach (3 minute walk). Breakfast (not included, but fair price at 8 eruos) was simple but good, croissants were delicious. Would have liked nutella as the breakfast (we're in France!) :)
Owner speaks limited English but is very friendly.
Parking is free at the hotel parking lot. Plenty of free parking around as well.
If you're not looking for too much luxury but a clean, affordable hotel next to the beach, this is the one for you.
The cons:
Only one pillow on each bed. There was one additional pillow in the closet but it would have been great to have another one.
Seat on toilet was loose (room 109).
Not related to the hotel but we (young couple) were not ecstatic about Canet. It edges towards mass tourism. If you're a family with children this is fine as there is a lot to do, but we prefer the smaller villages around.
Good value for money

Overall rating: very good value for money. The hotel is pleasantly clean, staff is very friendly and helpful. Rooms are really hughe, the hotel is well-situated (next to the harbor). Plenty of restaurants are whithin easy reach, parking is free. The variety offered at breakfast is limited, but it is absolutely acceptable.
Great quiet location
