호텔 헬리오스 & 스파(Hotel Helios & Spa)

We stayed here for two nights as part of a group for the rugby world cup. The hotel is very nice and the views are stunning, beautiful small beaches with lots of water activities. The room was a good size with plenty of space for the cases. For a hotel like this the breakfast was a huge disappointment, very little choice and as breakfast finished at 10am items were not replenished from about 9:30 so there was next to nothing left by 10am. On our departure day we were down just before 7:30 (when it opens) but the tables weren't set up and we had to ask to go in and use the coffee machine, which was very nice. Everything felt very last minute. There are a few restaurants and shops which were all lovely and the restaurants back at the ferry point were also great. All in all we enjoyed our stay but I expected better.

It was very odd having to catch a ferry to get to & from the hotel which was a bit limiting, however there were plenty facilities on the island - well stocked shop, restaurants (only 2 open when we were there) and a lively bar. There is also good local walking and a beach. The bedrooms, which are spread out over many separate buildings, were dated and much in need of refurbishment. Ours smelled of fish for some reason, maybe a previous occupant had cooked their catch because there was a small kitchen. There's not much in the village (le Brusc) on other side of water and not much parking for a hire car. Breakfast was OK but they did not keep it stocked so it quickly ran out of most items, however it was nice sitting outside on the terrace to eat overlooking the marina. Not the most practical place to stay for a short time and I wouldn't go again

This is a wonderful hotel on an amazing little island. Our booking had a check in time of 5pm, but we arrived at 12 to drop our baggage in the luggage store to find the room was ready. We had a harbour-facing room with an amazing view of the island. The room was spacious, but best of all was a large terrace/balcony with loungers which was like another room. We did not eat at the hotel, so cannot comment, although we saw others having what looked like a very substantial cooked breakfast. Some themed meal nights. Our room overlooked the outside dining area but did not feel exposed. We didn't use the indoor pool because beaches were so close. Hotel is a short walk from the ferry arrival point, but it is a perfectly nice walk because there are few cars. The lower path involves some steps. The price of the stay includes the cost of the return ferry crossing: details emailed a few days before visit. The booking form provides for a crossing from Le Brusc but we asked to travel from Sanary and this was accommodated. (Cars can only cross from Le Brusc however). The island is delightful. It takes about an hour to walk around it. Lots of photogenic beaches (but some via rocky slopes). A few restaurants, all-day baker, a nice bar often with music staged, and a well-stocked shop that is not as expensive or unwelcoming as some reviews suggest. Lots of toilets around the island (good for oldies like us). Our new favourite place; magical.

This hotel sounded quite promising but is actually a really good three stars rather than 4 stars. The staff is very young and often doesn’t know much about activities, timings etc (ex bike availability, ferry time etc). despite being advertised (in small, we didn’t notice) as weekly cleaning a minimum was still expected from a 4 star such as emptying bins and refilling coffee etc which wasn’t done even the one time they cleaned. I understand the eco-friendliness of not changing the sheet daily, but the minimum is coffee, a quick vaccum to remove the sand from floor and emptying the bin; apparently not here. Breakfast was nice, although opened till 11am, but 10:15 barely anything left. Would only recommend off season when prices are closer to a three stars, rather than a summer high price which makes you leave a bit bitter.

To start the day: Access cost by car = eur 140 Individual = eur 19 Despite the kindless of staff, hotel looks like a hospital. Room cleaning was scheduled every 3 days for the (((reason of Covid)) .... A portion of Nescafe coffee was available in room only the first day then apparently not provided. Overcrowded beaches with difficult access Definitely a bad experience therefore we shortened our stay by 3 days even all was prepaid.

Terrible room service. No towels, room wasn’t cleaned once for the duration of stay.etc

Très déçu de notre séjour sur l’île des embiez, nous avons réservé un appartement assez spacieux sachez que vous devez faire vos lits à l’arrivée. La chambre patentale est 2 lits collés avec 2 draps plats et une couverture en laine. Nous avons très froid car beaucoup de vent cette semaine, nous avons eu l’impression que le chauffage ne fonctionne pas. De plus Il y a énormément de jour le matin impossible de dormir plus que 8h du matin car il n’y a pas de volet seulement des rideaux beige. Concernant le spa la piscine chauffée à l’hôtel c’est payant pour les résidents des appartements expérience horrible dans une piscine à 22 degré alors que dehors il y a beaucoup de vent. Sur place seulement 2 restaurants ouverts. Très peu de choses à faire pendant les vacances quelle déception..,,.

Nous sommes venus pour 2j et je recommande ! L’hôtel propose de nombreux services (petit dej complet, activités comprises comme du yoga, piscine, salle de sport ou tennis..), le personnel de l’hôtel était à l’écoute et l’île permet de faire une vraie pause ressourçante en seulement quelques jours !

Départ du port du Brusc à ******** les plages pour une traversée de moins de 10 minutes pour arriver à l ‘île des Embiez . Nous nous sommes garés au parking de la Gardiole, gratuit , avec juste un peu de marche jusqu’à L’embarcadere mais sans plus . L’hôtel était très calme , la literie très confortable et le petit déjeuner à 19 euros très complet (sucré , salé ). Le personnel de l’hôtel est disponible et à l’ecoute de nos demandes . Nous avons pu récupérer notre chambre à notre arrivée à 15h30 au lieu de 17 h car elle était prête ce qui nous a bien rendu service . A savoir que l’hôtel doit vous envoyer la veille vos billets pour la traversée qui sont compris quand vous réservez chez eux . Le restaurant le Sarti face au port ne nous a pas convaincu mais pas trop le choix d’un restaurant . L’ile est très jolie, nous avons fait le tour à pied avec arrêt baignade dans une des nombreuses criques . Vous pouvez aussi louer un vélo il y a ce qu’il faut sur l’ile ou prendre aussi le petit train . Il y a des départs de bateaux environ toutes les 40 minutes en cette période .
