Scopri il tuo soggiorno a Le Castellet

Carte du restaurant réduite et sans originalité. Personnel du restaurant volontaire mais en manque d'expérience. Pas de sommelier(surprenant pour un restaurant étoilé) mais un Chef de rang remplissant les deux fonctions et connaissant très mal l'univers du vin. Aucun choix de pain même pour le fromage, c'est assez rare. Un petit mot sur le bar qui n'a que trois cocktails sur la carte et est simplement équipé d'une douzaine de bouteilles ce qui explique l'absence d'un vrai Barman que l'on remplace par le Personnel du restaurant incapable de préparer un cocktail ”cosmopolitan” pourtant un classique que l'on boit partout. Le dosage des boissons alcoolisées est minimaliste ,c'est un véritable scandale qui ne résulte pas d'une incompétence mais probablement de consignes données. Les chambres et salles de bain sont vieillottes et ne correspondent plus au marché actuel. Le plateau de courtoisie est particulièrement CHEAP (2 petites bt d'eau et des sachets de café et thé).La literie est cependant de bonne qualité. La seule véritable satisfaction est le petit déjeuner particulièrement varié, abondant et de très bonne qualité servi par une Dame souriante et prévenante. Globalement nous sommes déçus par cet établis*****t étoilé? qui comparé à la concurrence à de nombreuses lacunes à combler avant de pouvoir rivaliser. Nous concernant il n'y aura pas de prochaine fois.

Noi siamo abituati, vi soggiorniamo più volte all’anno, è sempre un piacere trovarsi in questo alloggio. Il personale è molto simpatico e l’hotel in sé è super.

Per fare la doccia bisogna scavalcare una vasca da bagno troppo alta, a rischio caduta e infatti mio marito è scivolato. La cosa peggiore la disorganizzazione della thalasso. Ho chiesto subito una seduta con l’osteopata ma mi dicevano che non rispondeva alle loro chiamate, finalmente dopo 6 giorni mi hanno dato un appuntamento e a quanto pare l’osteopata era lì tutti i giorni ma nessuno l’aveva chiamato. Sono stata a Quiberon diverse volte ma è tutta un’altra cosa. Una grossa delusione.

Stayed here when visiting Bandol. A beautiful building with a lot of history and decorated in an art deco way in the public eras. Ideally placed for walking access to the town and parking is provided free of charge. The property is gated so very safe, with a beautiful seating area outside. The apartment itself had a sea view with a balcony which was great given the weather. Spotlessly clean throughout with access to a washing machine and drier. A small kitchen 4 electric rings, coffee machine, oven, microwave, crockery and cutlery sufficient for the number of persons the room accommodates (4) The only comment is that the room was tired. Needs a lick of paint, a wardrobe door fixing, new carpet and the voile curtain runner is stuck. The bathroom was very dated but clean. We had a great welcome by the staff, no English is spoken but we got by. There is a local tax to pay on top of the room rate it’s about 1 euro per person per day.

We were lured by the descriptions on the hotel website into paying an eye-watering price for a ‘deluxe’ suite at La Farandole, expecting it to be the highlight of our long-awaited 20th anniversary roadtrip. Sadly, it was the worst four days of our vacation. The only luxurious thing about this suite was the view. Everything else was a 3-Star standard at best. The hotel is situated at the end of a quiet beach with stunning sea views and a nice-looking pool but the property has many serious defects and problems. Strangely, the door to our suite shared a foyer with the staff entrance to a noisy kitchen and storeroom. Our ‘private’ terrace was not attached to our suite as implied on the website. Instead, there is a separate rooftop terrace that can be booked by guests. The suite itself has only a tiny balcony with two chairs and a table. We had access to the private roof terrace and jacuzzi but the stairwell is locked - ‘for staff use only’ so we had to take a slow elevator to the roof each time. This meant an awkward wait in the public corridor outside the restaurant. The water in the jacuzzi was filthy with dead insects and yellow foam. It was only cleaned on our third day. The worst problem was the nasty sewage smell in our suite. We reported it several times to the manager because the smell kept us awake at night. It was only fixed on our third day (with many apologies) and the installation of an air-freshener. The other issues were minor but collectively annoying. The bed was cheap and basic with small lumpy pillows and a bedsheet that did not fit properly. The mattress was old and uncomfortable. The bathroom and shower were good quality but there were no ‘luxury’ amenities as promised in the marketing - there was a cheap hair-dryer attached to the wall that kept cutting out. The wifi did not work in our room and the unit was eventually replaced by the manager (with more apologies), but only after a rude technician kept insisting it was a problem with our own ‘foreign’ devices. There was a coffee maker and a small mini-bar in the wardrobe but nowhere to store any wine or snacks. We received a complementary bottle of mineral water every second day but they forgot to replenish our glasses and the phone to reception was rarely answered, which meant frequent trips to the front desk. The reception staff were friendly and kind and clearly hardworking. They were very apologetic about the many problems we encountered but unable to do anything about our room or price. Housekeeping was sporadic and we had to go hunting for pool towels to use on the terrace. These were not changed for the full duration of our stay. The sun-beds on the terrace were dirty and in disrepair, with bits of old scratchy velcro where the pillows had once been. On day one we found an old cigarette butt on the lounger that was still there when we left. We tried to book appointments at the hotel spa, which looked nice, but we were told they were fully booked - even though the h
