Hotel berhampiran Plage de Cavaliere, Le Lavandou

The best part of this hotel is its location. It’s away from the main hustle and bustle of the town, up a side street off the main road through Le Lavandou, but less than five minutes away from shops and restaurants and less than ten minutes from the beach. Overall however we were disappointed. Having had a motorcycle stolen when touring France almost my first priority when selecting a hotel now is some form of private parking. The Tripadvisor and *********** websites state there is “Free parking”. To me this means that the hotel has its own parking. It does not. There are five or six spaces on the very steep street with a ‘hotel parking’ sign on the wall. I stress that this inaccuracy is on the Tripadvisor and *********** websites, the hotel’s doesn’t mention parking at all. We were lucky that the space right outside the gate of the hotel was vacant when we arrived. Fortunately we did not intend to use the motorcycle while at Le Lavandou as the chances of that space, or indeed any space, being available when we got back would have been slim. To get into the hotel reception there are a six to eight stone steps from street level. Our room was on the first floor which could only be accessed up more stairs. There is no lift. To get to the “Exotic Garden” also requires walking down the stairs to street level and then another six to eight stairs to get to the garden. It you have any mobility problems this hotel is definitely not for you. We had booked a “Double King Size Room with courtyard view”. That turned out to be a view of a tree and the building next door. If we stretched out of the window a bit we could see the gas tank and a washing line (see photos). Not really much of a view at all. Having been there we should have booked a room with a terrace. All the photographs we could find on the websites showed that the rooms had shower cubicles or were in the bath with a screen. Ours was in the bath with a plastic shower curtain (see photo). It must be around 20 years since I last came across anything like that. Inevitably that meant that taking a shower meant constantly having to stop the shower curtain wrapping itself around you. We were provided with a small bottle of shower gel. When that had been used it was not replaced. There is a breakfast buffet but it is an odd arrangement. Very small quantities of everything are put out. Although that minimises waste it does mean you are constantly having to ask for items to be replenished. What was offered was very average. The fruit juice tased like it was the long-life stuff that comes in cartons. The cooked meats and cheese were only cheap cheese slices, thin chorizo and salami slices and small slices of “processed” ham. Breakfast was exactly the same every day. We would have been better off taking the short walk into the town and having breakfast at one of the cafes there. On the last day they ran out of croissants when there was still well over an hour of the scheduled breakfast time left. Appar

Secondo me questo luogo per trascorrere le vacanze è suggeribile, con parcheggio e piscina, si deve fare la raccolta differenziata e tutto. Ci sono casine tutte disposte lungo la proprietà. L’unica cosa che dispiace è che dopo un po’ di tempo, se stai attento o meno, arrivano formiche e questa cosa non è ottimale. Certo, noi potevamo stare più attenti ma se un giorno torniamo a casa e troviamo un letto singolo ricoperto di formiche non è ottimale perché anche se noi forse ci abbiamo un po’ mangiato sopra c’è il problema di fondo che le formiche non dovrebbero entrare. Noi avevamo l’appartamento un po’ sopraelevato, c’erano appartamenti molto più in alto e forse non è stato così per tutti.

Les +: l emplacement de l établissement, le parking gratuit et fermé , le personnel d’animation, le personnel du bar. Les- : propreté des chambres, matelas et oreillers sans protection ,moquette des chambres tachée , restauration simple et moyennement variée, l eau de la salle de bain qui passe du chaud au froid , le réseau tel médiocre dans notre chambre . Pour ce qui sont en tout inclus , pensez à prendre l eau pétillante du bar avant de monter au restaurant , sinon elle vous sera facturée. Nous ne pouvons pas juger de la soirée de Gala , elle était annoncée et sans explication elle n a pas été pas organisée . Un problème qui n’incombe pas à l établissement : les moustiques , pensez aux répulsifs , le soir sur la terrasse et dans les chambres qui en cette saison ne sont pas climatisées.

So very glad we chose to stay here on our travels between Marseille and Saint Tropez. Picked Hyeres at random and this hotel based on reviews. Beautiful property with easy convenient parking. We were greeted courteously and assisted professionally. Our room was top notch. More spacious than others we encountered and it was well furnished. We were lucky to get a very large (like huge-bigger than my living room at home) outdoor sitting area. It was awesome. We had breakfast delivered and sat outside for a wonderful start to our day. The ****** was a bonus. We played live blackjack with a very patient dealer. We let him know we were not experienced so he slowed the game at first as we we were the only players at the table. As more folks arrived the game sped up. Dinner was superb. The Chef is very talented and his sous chefs are very active. We has an excellent view of the kitchen and were entertained watching them work. The food was terrific. We had the flowered zucchini, salmon, and pasta with truffles. Highly recommend.

Functional and inhuman hotek but you should not expect to sleep if you are on the road side. The rooms give outdoors onto a very busy intersection with traffic, even in the middle of the night. Fortunately I had earplugs, but even then it was pretty loud.

Hôtel un peu cher en août (car haute saison) mais très bonne clim, belle vue sur Hyeres, super bon petit déj avec du salé (4 types de fromages différents, jambon, œuf brouillés, œufs durs, légumes sautés, bacon, saucisse) et sucré (pâte à tartiner maison, confiture bio, crêpes et pancakes, différents types de pain, yaourts, salade de fruits frais, céréales, jus de fruits qualitatif) Personnel agréable et souriant, chambre petites mais très propres. Salle de bain moderne avec douche à l'italienne et WC dans la salle de bain. Minibar avec 2 bouteilles d'eau offertes à l'arrivée. Bouilloire pour le thé /café. La piscine extérieure est petite mais chauffée, avec des transats autour. Snacking au resto en terrasse possible de 12h à 17h30, très appréciable. Bar lounge ouvert jusqu'à 23h. Parking fermé gratuit. A 15min à pied du bus 67 qui emmène à la tour fondue. Nous étions dans une chambre supérieure au 2eme étage, accessible seulement par un petit escalier. L'ascenseur ne va que jusqu'au 1er étage mais la réception nous avait prévenu avant notre arrivée.
