호스텔레리 라 파란돌

Tres bel emplacement, petit bemole sur le tarif de la chambre payer sur trip avec la difference sur place… pas de telephone pour appeler la reception dans la suite junior (numero 4) Spa genial et tres propre.

Hôtel très agréable que je fréquente depuis 5 ans

The site is great. Fantastic view from the suite on the sea. With Jacuzzi on the top roof. The beach La Gorguette is also very good, clean water and not too busy. Restaurant panoramic is ok, nothing ex optional. Only point to be improved is service from people working in Hostellerie, they are smart and friendly and try to do their best but I think they are not enough to cover all requests. So you have to wait for beach restaurant or bar service, but it's ok as they always come with a smile. So I suggest this place.

Great location, great rooms, great beach, great service! We will stay there again for sure. The restaurant and food is also excellent. Also, the nearby areas are great to explore. The views are very good. I don't think there is another hotel nearby that compares.

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

What an amazing find. We stumbled onto this little beachside hotel as we were driving the coast. An amazing room with the waves crashing right at the foot of our room. Great value. Very friendly staff. The Ukranian waitress at the restaurant was amazing and really made our stay. If you are in the Sanary-sur-Mer area, this is a hidden gem. You can go without hesitation.
