La Bastide Vacations from $1,624

Lovely hotel with ample parking. Nice pool and outside area. Short walk to the centre of Hyeres

Everything exceeded our expectations

Our stay at Le Bailli de Suffren exceeded our expectations. The location and amazing views were spectacular. The front desk staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. They went out of their way on several occasions to offer recommendations and assistance for local sights. We had excellent meals at both the main restaurant and beach restaurant. The daily buffet breakfast was fresh, abundant and delicious. We discovered the beautiful walking path just outside the hotel that became our morning routine. We couldn’t get enough of the gorgeous beach with its smooth sand and crystal clear warm water. We really hope to return one day soon!

On its own, this is a beautiful property with a novel concept. They have made villas in what has a homey feel. But if you don’t take all the rooms in any villa, you may very well find yourself with neighbours in a room within the villa, though they will not be in the space you are occupying. We hade 2 of the 3 rooms in the villa. So we had the living room and kitchen space with our 2 bedrooms and a really nice balcony. But the 3 room in the villa was rented out to others. They have their own entrance that was not interfering with our entrance. But we could hear them and they us. The other issue that we faced was the parking. We kept having to be moved around and some of the guests were quite offensive if you happened to park in the same space they can lay a claim to by virtue of the proximity of their room to that space. I think the management could have done a better job at organising all that. There’s only one restaurant. They have a Thai theme. Frankly, it’s one of the nicer restaurants in the area and food was really good. But forget about variety. Breakfast is very limited. We stayed for 8 days in the property. At some point, we went to the nearest supermarket to make our own breakfast. It’s an open air restaurant, both breakfast and lunch/dinner. If it rains, you’re gonna need to find alternative arrangements. The hotel has a place for its guests at the beach. You have to book the chairs and they don’t give you towels. You’ll have to buy them.
