HOTEL SOLEIL DE SAINT-TROPEZ

Initially we were given a room which absoloutley no view from the balcony - there is a huge palm tree who's branches actually protrude onto the balcony - naturally I asked for another room initially we were told the hotel was full but magically they found an alternate room which was great.

Decent hotel for the price we paid. Only thing important to know is that even though it is 4.4 miles from ST. Tropez, we were quoted €50 each way in a cab (which can apparently go up to €70 in the summer). Dont be fooled into thinking that this is a cheap way to stay in St. Trop. Apart from that, I would definately stay again.

On arrival I thought we had booked a 1960's holiday camp not a three star hotel, we were booked in for two nights and when we were shown to our romm [number 15] it was very disapoimnting rooms 12- 14 have their light and views blocked by a huge palm tree. We asked to be moved ands were told the Hotel was full, I then advised them that I would not be staying on the second night and was told we could cancel but we would still have to pay for the room. On the second day we asked a very helpful lady who spoke perfect English if we could be moved which she organised and we were moved to room 19, much better.
The rooms are a good size and all have patios or balcony's, the grounds are well maintained and the pool area is good, we stayed in September and there were very few children around, but imagine that in July and August it would be full of families.
The location of the Hotel is ideal for touring central southern France and it is great value for money, we cannot comment on the foofd as we only had breakfast which was included in the cost [very rare], but do not think you can expect gourmet food.

Clean rooms, location is apoox 15min walk from Port Grimaud, not real easy to find so turn left on the rounabout after the bowling bar if heading in from St Trpez, reception staff very helpful and english speaking, hotel a little tired looking but clean rooms, pool really nice but very few undamaged sunbeds anvailable, you would struggle if hotel was busy, hotel grounds very nice, we were allocated a room overlooking the rear of the hotel which was a little scruffy, I asked if we could have a room overlooking the pool and this was no problem, I would say only real dissapoinment was breakfast although fresh,the choice was basic continental with scrambled eggs and sausages, I would stay again it was ok for what we paid.
