Relaxing resort!

The rooms are large and very comfortable but older. We loved their breakfast buffet around the pool and enjoyed a swim right after. Would definitely recommend this resort hotel!

Decent stay

The hotel was nice enough. Showing some age. It would have been nice to have the spa open much later at night. 7:30 is way too early to close it. The one pool was warm. I would have liked to try it as well, but we arrived later. The rooms were sufficient. We awoke to the very loud noise of incessant garden care - lawn mowing, weed trimming, trimming, etc. That was quite unpleasant. The room was comfortable, but nothing special. The view was not nice - to a parking lot and the yard work being done for hours all morning. Staff were friendly and nice enough. Parking was great right in front. It was quite far and remote from town, so it won't be a choice in the future.

Quiet hotel

Our family stay at Le Domaine du Golf de l’Esterel was not for Golf, but for rest and relaxation. The grounds were quite good, and we enjoyed the swimming pool and tennis courts. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was a great stay for our young family.

Not a good hotel. Rooms shabby,paper cups & no spoons for your tea/coffee! Miserable little wardrobe with a curtain. Chipped tiles, dirty carpets, I could go on & on.... No air-con in reception area. Too remote, its a €40 taxi to town & back so decided to drive, couldn't enjoy a drink then so back to hotel at 11pm only to find bar closed. No bars or restaurants in the area. Wouldn't return

Relaxing setting

Excellent hotel with very good facilities. When we first arrived the room we were shown to was tired and in a part of the hotel which was in need of an update. However reception offered us another room which we were happy with. Very good breakfasts and the pool area was lovely . hotel's evening meal menu was a bit disappointing so we did not eat there and few guests dined. Short drive into St Raphael where there was a wide choice of restaurants.

Great hotel and excellent value

Stayed here for four nights in June and really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is located in the middle of a very nice golf course on the outskirts of St Raphael and is very well kept and tranquil, with a lovely swimming pool area. Our room was very clean and nicely furnished and had a little fridge/mini bar and balcony. The breakfast buffet is great. An excellent value hotel and we would definitely like to return.

Enjoyable, friendly hotel in idyllic surroundings.

Excellent situation and overall pleasing experience, fabulous reception and restaurant staff. Housekeeping a bit slip-shod; would help if corridors were redecorated and carpets cleaned.
