Promotional material and the description on the Riôtel group’s website may prepare visitors for what awaits, but the view revealed on entering the dining room of the Paqbo restaurant at RIÔTEL-PERCÉ is still utterly spectacular. The fascination Rocher Percé exerts on everyone, even after several visits, is undeniable.
Set just below Côte Surprise on Route 132, a few steps from the beach and commanding a majestic view of the area’s great landmark, Rocher Percé, the hotel formerly known as Bonaventure sur Mer became the group’s third acquisition in 2003 and has operated as Riôtel-Percé ever since.
In addition to the main building, which houses reception and the Paqbo restaurant, the hotel complex has two accommodation pavilions: Île Bonaventure and Rocher Percé. Many rooms naturally look directly onto these two defining features of the local landscape, while several balconies and a large outdoor terrace allow guests to enjoy the panorama at any time.
Locals know that daylight contributes greatly to the atmosphere. From sunrise directly behind the rock to the moment it disappears behind the mountains to the west, bathing the landscape in golden light, every moment of the day is unforgettable. As a seasonal hotel, Riôtel-Percé is open from late spring to mid-autumn, the best time to enjoy all it has to offer.
The hotel offers several room categories, from Classic and Superior rooms to suites, rooms with kitchenettes and family accommodation. Most look directly over baie de Percé. Renovations carried out in several parts of the hotel between 2013 and 2019 moved the property upmarket and ensure an optimal quality of stay.
Direct beach access makes it easy to take long walks to nearby shops, cafés, art galleries, bars and restaurants while enjoying a panorama that never grows old. Cruises to Rocher Percé and Île Bonaventure, both essential experiences, also depart conveniently close to the hotel. 
Gourmets and food lovers will be glad to sit down at the Paqbo restaurant for a Riôtel-style breakfast or return at the end of the day for dinner in the dining room or on the outdoor terrace. The restaurant is also a place for an aperitif or simply a cocktail with friends or family. Paqbo’s menu follows the broad approach used at the group’s other Gaspésie hotels, with variations that showcase local specialities. From starter to dessert, the culinary experience is remarkable: contemporary, sea-inspired and approachable food. Treat yourself to the seafood coquille, maple-glazed ribs and lime tart, among others.
In the evening, guests can enjoy the day’s final light or the beauty of a star-filled sky, the salt air and the sound of the waves around a campfire near the beach, either alone or with other visitors.
