Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer hotels

Pros: Rooms in a typical style

Cons: Rooms too close to the main route

Pros: We liked the location, the little cabana rooms and the swimming pool and bonus is the horses around . The breakfast is amazing and the views. Very good location, just a few minutes away by car or can walk to Sainte Marie de la mer

Cons: Well we had our little dog and they do not accept dogs, so we did not feel comfortable, also no service of drinks around the pool. The terrace of the rooms are not comfortable furniture

Pros: The grounds and setting of the property.

Cons: The pricing is way too high for the standard of the rooms, @ 200€ per night in the off season in March ! definitely not a 4 star hotel by any means. We stayed in a cavalarie room 3 pax (very small) old, rundown and outdated with no tea or coffee, kettle. There is a shower nozzle in the bath, however you cannot hold it to wash out your hair as the handle burns you and there is no hook on the wall to connect it to? Very unsafe. The TV was meant to have English stations, as we wanted news on the Corona Virus, however it wasn't working in our room. A staff member came to re tune the TV but they didn't know how to do it, however no apology or discount offered upon checking out. They had post it notes on the bathroom mirror, really 4 star ??? and the mirror in the hall was corroding, old peeling paint, decaying loose decking around the main pool ( see pics) Not really what u expect for a 4 star way to operate and at 200€ per night in the cheapest accommodation. The horse riding was overpriced @ 100€ pp private 2hr ride and we didn't receive the tour we paid for with riding and galloping on the beach. We just walked, and never rode on the beach, so we could have paid the cheaper 40€ price and gone with others instead. The horse my daughter rode bolted at the sound of her tying her jacket around her waist and she was thrown off - luckily into the scrub! I have broken, bred, ridden & trained horses for 45+ years and I think even I would have come off in the same situation as the horse was running blind, ran right through trees and uneven scrub and lost its footing, almost falling down completely a number of times. Properly broken horses, especially used for tourists of all standards of riding, should not BOLT for this very normal and expected situation or to jump sideways when you have to slap a mosquito biting your leg !

Pros: Parking, cleanliness, staff generally very pleasant. Lovely upmarket resort feeling. Wildlife and scenery

Cons: Extremely hot water in the cavaliere triple room bathrooms. Our son burnt his arm. A little surprised to find that fish of day in the pont de banned restaurant was salmon in the Camargue!

Pros: Room very clear. Best location. Breakfast perfect.

Cons: The bed may be better and room very small.

Pros: Lovely cabanas! Friendly staff. Horseback riding was amazing

Cons: Breakfast is not really up to standard. Freshly cut fruit looked two days old. Charcuterie was not so qualitative.

Cons: pricewise a bit a high end location, otherwise ok. Restaurant ok. Rooms ok. nothing exceptional, but ok. Basic rooms are very very basic and simple.

Pros: Nice staff

Cons: Awfully small rooms - if I knew would never have booked - photos taken very wise to make it look like a decent size room although you walk into bed - upset to bits on arrival especially mind it is in the marshlands/so in total mud

Cons: Over rated - the property was rated as a 4 star, but few hotels of that caliber have astroturf for carpet in the balconies and hallways. I was glad they provided slippers.

Pros: Great spot, staff nice.

Cons: All good

Pros: The receptionist was lovely. The room facilities were excellent but to expected for the price.

Cons: The decor. For this to work it needed to be beach front.

Pros: Comfortable rooms with a patio Coffee machine in the room and also a teakettle was nice. We didn’t try the breakfast. Pool looked good but we didn’t use it. Good location close to the centre with a lot of restaurants.

Cons: Room could have been bigger and also the bathroom. Otherwise great!

Pros: Bed was comfortable. Location in walking distance of restaurants, shops and seafront.

Cons: No parking near the hotel. Had to park some distance away and wheel suitcases along pavements and across roads to the hotel. We had a room on the first floor, but there was no lift, which was a problem for my wife who has difficulty with stairs. In our room the toilet was separate from the bathroom and had no wash basin in it. Highly unsanitary. No bidet in the bathroom. On our first day we went out to walk around the village and came back at 2 pm with our lunch, only to find that our room had not been cleaned. We were in the middle of our lunch when the cleaner arrived and told us that we would have to stop eating and leave our room so that she could clean it. We refused, so that our room didn't get cleaned. When we complained at reception, a blazing row followed with no apology for the bad service. The hotel itself appears tired and in need of refurbishment. Our balcony had old astro turf, there were cracks in the walls and the plants looked half dead. Indeed outside by the swimming pool a whole tree and shrubs were dead. Our room overlooked the next door property which was most ugly and unsightly. Our bill for three nights was nearly €600, very poor value for money.

Pros: Excellent place to explore the Camargue from, and a very good breakfast.

Pros: We loved every aspect of this hotel. A big friendly welcome. All the staff were really really helpful, the room was furnished in a cool beach style. The restaurant menu offered a great choice and the food was lovely. In fact we enjoyed our stay so much we extended our stay.

Cons: Nothing to dislike.

Pros: Comfortable and spacious room, with excellent A/C, a helpful and attentive staff, excellent and varied breakfast.

Cons: Overcrowded pool on a summer season day. Parking not private, it takes you some time to find nearby spots.

Pros: Good location very close to many restaurants and the beach

Cons: Staff could have tried smiling and being a bit more welcoming and helpful. Seemed to have difficulty getting our room cleaned and staff managing breakfast did not speak any English

Pros: I liked the place is near the beach. Bed is confy and staff was very amazing!

Pros: Location

Cons: Slow draining of shower water- would have likecto get a local city map from reception

Pros: Breakfast was good but no meat or sheese

Cons: nowehere to put anything in the shower like soap or shampoo

Pros: Wonderful room, renewed and clean.

Pros: A cozy little place in Saintes Maries. Staff was super nice, the room is a bit small but was perfectly tidy and very comfortable. The location is great

Pros: Hotel reception were extremely helpful. I wanted to ride in the Camargue and she recommended an excellent place with a guy called Claudio. Instead of riding with 20+ other riders there was myself and one other person who went out with Claudio and another English speaking instructor. For 3 glorious hours from 4.30 until sunset we rode across the Camargue cantering along beaches and through lakes of flamingoes. Claudio proudly telling us all about the area and wildlife.

Cons: Mosquitoes! Hey but everything has a price!

Pros: very friendly staff, breakfast v good, I was missing an area with water cooker and a microwave, there is no bar in the hotel and traveling with kids would be easier if one could prepare simple meals

Cons: sanitary comditions of the bathroom could be improved.

Cons: Unfortunatly it wasn't really cleaned properly, hairs, dust and dead insects... When we came about 7 years ago, it was great though. We were dissapointed.

Cons: Bath was not clean. Plug bath didn't function

Pros: The facilities are amazing! Quiet...well located...I will DEFINATELY return there....I wish they could consider my opinion and pay more attention to the cleanness of their bathrooms....

Cons: It was not cleaned ... We arrived late in the night...and we wanted to relax with a bath....but the bathtub was just dirty...we couldn't use it...the lavatory was the same...

Pros: arrived early evening and had to leave very early - but loved that the place was away from the main stretch and felt more peaceful - bathrooms were good - newly decorated to high standard. wold have loved to have spent the day there really to use the facilities.

Cons: bath towels - a lack of towels was an issue.

Pros: Dinner, breakfast, personnel and location. All good. Also breakfast free of charge because our water was cut off during the night and we had no water next morning for toilette etc. It was fixed by 9 am but disagreeable experience.

Cons: Our room - a "roulotte". Very cramped. Bed small and could only be accessed from one side. Bathroom also very small. No shower, only a huge free-standing bath which was rather dangerous for older people to get in and out of.

Pros: The area and the hotel facilities are very beautiful, beautiful pool with sufficient space around so you don‘t feel crowded even if there are more people. The room was very nice with a spacious bathroom and spacious shower with good toiletry products from Nuxe. Staff at check-in and breakfast was very helpful and forthcoming. We were traveling with an infant (there were a lot of other guests with babies or small children) and were pleased they had sufficient highchairs around. The parrot Marius who comes onto your shoulder was an attraction.

Cons: We had a room located above the kitchen, which was a bit noisy at night when the kitchen was being cleaned. Also, the food at lunch did not entirely live up to the expectation - we had chicken salad which was good, but the fish we ordered it seems they at first forgot, and when it came late it was obviously rushed and not cooked through, sides were not what others who ordered the same dish had gotten, and tasted strange. On the positive end we got a coffee on the house after mentioning the shortcomings. Despite this, our overall experience at Mas de la Fouque was pleasant.

Pros: Incredible surrounding Great room (suite) Very pleasant staff Spa

Cons: Restaurant decorations needs refreshing

Pros: It is a spa, best for athletic young French people. Location is amazing but isolated. Buggy because the Camargue is. Very friendly. The town, Sté Mariés de la Mer is a seaside resort with marvelous seafood better than at the Spa. The bird sanctuary is truly fabulous.

Pros: fantastic location, everything perfect. Dinner was excellent.

Pros: The location was superior in the middle of nature and respecting the environment. Parking facilities are excellent. Parrot Marius welcomes the guests.

Cons: The mosquitos are a real problem. Some of the staff is a bit arrogant. The heating in the bathroom was switched on despite the fact that it was around 40C outside. The airco produces too much light which is troublesome at night. The property is overprized.

Pros: Excellant well priced restaurent overlooking the most spectacular views down the valley, a great find!

Pros: The view over the swamps were amazing. Nice location, quiet but near centre of the town. The staff was friendly, but they looked very nervous.

Cons: The hotel was on first sight very beautiful, but I would not rate it 4 stars.

Pros: Very friendly and available staff. Good location in the heart of town, but far enough from the noisy streets. The rooms, facilities and hallways were all very clean. Good breakfast buffet and offer of drinks.

Cons: Mattress was a bit too soft and losing its shape. The air in the rooms and hallways was overloaded with way too much air freshener/deodorant.

Pros: Everything else. Clean, quite, friendly, like the town itself. Good vibe, very relaxed.

Cons: You know how WC means 'water closet'? Now I know why. Toilet is literally the size of a closet. Shower is normal sized, room is normal sized, toilet not so much.

Pros: Great little seaside village, very comfortable accommodation, with breakfast available on site. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Lots to see and do nearby.

Pros: Mattress was comfortable. Heating was necessary and worked well. Wifi was good. Breakfast was simple but nice and good value (7 euros).

Cons: Small pillows. Bathroom was dusty and had mould. Radiator was rusty and shower handle was broken + nowhere to put shower gel. Next door was a public toilet with a noisy. Overall fairly run down and not cosy.

Pros: They very generously let us eat our own for in their dining room with our kids though we only bought coffee from them

Cons: Difficulty finding the place with their change in street address.

Pros: The Breakfast was excellent. The fresh bread was still warm and the cakes delicious. Pool was cold but didn’t stop our children enjoying it!

Cons: Difficult to find any faults as it made our short stay so memorable.great bslue

Pros: Friendly staff

Cons: Weather

Cons: Room was cramped and not well laid out. Hard to shower given the size of the bathroom and although advertised as beachfront, it was in front of a carnival on one side and a construction site on the other. When I couldn't find the bathroom in the room( door to room hid it) and asked the manager, he was making fun of me. Would not recommend this hotel at all

Pros: The location was great, right on the beach. There was municipal parking across the street - plenty of spaces in the fall but I'll bet it's a lot more difficult in the summer. We had a lovely balcony overlooking the sea. The hotel design was retro which was fun. My sister-in-law said she should have brought her Jackie O. sunglasses.

Pros: Located very nice in the lively harbour area of Saint-Marie in close proximity of the old town esc area of the village. Decent price and nice staff. The rooms are very clean and fresh and the air conditioning perfect on a hot day and actually on par with some four star hotels that we have visited.

Cons: Shower curtain not convenient, bathroom quite old

Pros: Location

Cons: Closed at 8pm with no prior notice. Parking is terrible Staff was generally impolite, laughing at my wife behind her back

Cons: Nothing - everything was OK

Cons: The lobby area smells very strong or cigarette smoke, there’s no parking in summer, and the WiFi is not dependable.

Pros: Wonderful hostess/staff!

Pros: Great position on the seafront but a few minutes away from the centre so much quieter location. Unfortunately did not have a sea view but room was comfortable, clean and quiet. Parked motorbike outside front door which was safe and convenient. Breakfast was excellent and being able to have it outdoors was a bonus.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The location was perfect. Close to the beach. Easy walk into town. Quiet at night. Hotel was very fresh and clean.

Cons: On arrival we rang the bell and a gentleman appeared. We were early so we were asked to return in one hour. We did and were shown to our room by a very pleasant woman. That was the last we seen of any one until we checked out. Some people mat like that but it would have been nice to see a face at reception asking if all was well etc.

Pros: Breakfast good but very overpriced at 30 E.

Pros: The warm welcome, and phone call to confirm our arrival

Pros: Great location - holiday accommodation - very friendly.

Cons: Nothing - a great place to stay!

Pros: Wonderful location just in front of the beach

Cons: Nothing. We liked everything

Pros: Very comfortable, room reasonably spacious, quiet, convenient, clean, good bathroom, decent breakfast, helpful and friendly staff. Good value for money and highly recommended.

Cons: Hotel excellent, but in Saintes Maries de la Mer, be ready for the very aggressive gypsies outside the church (and probably in other places around the town) They are extremely skilled and bullying so be on alert.

Pros: The location is great at 5'form Saintes-maries. The staff is welcoming and very helpful to accommodate specific requests. Very good breakfast

Pros: Everything!

Cons: The coffee, we tried different solution without success!

Pros: Location is great near by the sea and village. Nice and clean swimming pool

Cons: Rooms too small. Breakfast average

Pros: Liked the staff. Calm and quiet area. Beautifu breakfastarea and pool was great. We loved it!

Cons: No Wi-fi.

Pros: Good outdoor space. Lovely pool

Cons: No tea/coffee making facilities in room.

Pros: Fantastic place! So close to the beach, the tent where we stayed was clean, comfortable, cosy, equipped with all necessary kitchen facilities. Toilets and shower-rooms are clean. Highly recommended for a relaxing holiday.

Pros: Tent well equipped and beds were comfy. Proximity to pool, beach and town is great. Toilets and showers cleaned regularly.

Cons: Signage/check in not clear. Tent security - one padlock provided but 3 openings. No recycling. Cleaning at the end is very prescripive and includes moving furniture out/inside to vacuum and mop. It was very windy and the tent was very noisy - not their fault!

Pros: The pools, water park and beach were wonderful. The bathrooms were always well serviced and clean. Great to have separate sinks for laundry or dishes. Laundry machines also available.

Cons: The tents are HOT. They are designed with only 3 small windows to open for ventilation, so don’t plan on spending any time in the tent once the sun is up. There is no shade. Also, be aware the company booking these ’Escapade’ tents has no connection to the actual Camping La Brise which is where you check in, so if anything is wrong with the reservation or the tent (I.e. you rented sheets but they are not there) they will only give you a phone number to call. Not helpful if it is after hours or you don’t have a phone that works in France. It is also a bit annoying that the only access gate to the beach is a bit far and doesn’t allow access after 9pm. If you come after that because you want to enjoy the beautiful restaurant La Playa on the beach, plan on walking ALL the way around to get back to the main entrance.

Pros: Near sea and nice town.

Cons: Not helpful and arogant personnel, speak only in french, no shade, can ' t get in or out after 8 PM by entrance near beach, dirty toilettes.
