“The best hotel in St Tropez?”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2007
11
people found this review helpful

We know St Tropez and its hotels extremely well, so what would we recommend? Chateau Le Messardiere (very expensive, a mile or so out of town, but worth it for its stunning views and beautiful decor), the Sube (much, much cheaper and with fairly basic rooms but with St Tropez's best bar - perfect for your morning breakfast and evening drinks... and, if you book a room overlooking the port you're getting just about the best views of what St Tropez is all about).

And then there's Le Yaca... ambience personified. Situated in the centre of the old town and within strolling distance of the port and all those wonderful shops it is, as other reviews say, an oasis of absolute calm. There's not much to it... a large courtyard dominated by a beautiful swimming pool, a small inside bar, a reasonable sized inside restaurant, and, in summer, tables dotted around the pool and its multi-level patios... but it's got it just right.

The rooms are beautifully presented and, while very different, exude St Tropez chic - get one in the original building overlooking the courtyard and you won't be disappointed - and the prices are okay for St Tropez. But it's what it's difficult to explain that makes it just so good... everything feels right for that St Tropez "experience" and, because it does, you, like us, will probably end up going back there again and again. Perfect.

“One of the best hotels ever”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2006

people found this review helpful

This is one of the best hotels that we have ever stayed in from every perspective. Rooms, food, service, quality are exemplary. All the staff are superb and are what we call ABCD people (as is the hotel) Above And Beyond the call of Duty without being fawning in any way. To have dinner or breakfast in the courtyard around the smimming pool is a true pleasure. We were right in the heart of the old town a few minutes stroll to the harbour. We cant wait to go back. Not cheap by any means but worth every euro and so much nicer than the flashy Byblos up the road. Despite the previous comments about Club 55 restaurant on the beach,we tried it and found the opposite to be true i.e. we had superb food served by bright, young charming staff in an unbelievable location.

“Beautiful Hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2005

people found this review helpful

This hotel warrants all the praises on these reviews. Great location, super staff, wonderful food, however a small word of warning, do not stay in Room 2. Its above the old laundry room or something and it gets unbearably hot at night. When we pointed this out they did apologise but made no effort to compensate for a very uncomfortable night's sleep but it was worth it as the whole place is a joy. As an aside, do not under any circumstance be tempted to eat at 'Club 55' on the beach. It was our second visit there as we thought we would give it another chance after the appaling meal we had there in July. Well, it was even worse, the qaulity of the food is abysmal and the staff are miserable and clearly unhappy,which make the colassal prices they charge for less than averge food feel much worse.

“An absolute delight”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 October 2005

What a find ! Superb old charm hotel with genuinely friendly professional staff (so rare in France...the friendly bit). We initially couldn't find the hotel so we phoned reception, who said to describe where we were...which we did...they then sent someone out to find us and drove the car to the hotel for us !...and the service got better !. The location is incredible as is the quality of the food. If you an American interested in size of rooms and beds above quality then you will be dissapointed !..St Tropez is incredibly stylish as is the hotel (but not in a snobbish way) ..do try and dress accordingly if you can....oh yeah...and there is no lift (elavator) just a beautiful old 18th century stone staircase that curves around the place....if you are staying on a Sunday morning then be aware that the church bells start peeling every 15 minutes from 08:00...which is rather quant or a pain [--] depending on how hung-over you are ! You can also play or watch boule on the piste in one of the beautiful little squares. Its also a shoppers paradise with designer clothes shops in abundunce....do not drive a large car there as the roads are very narrow and steep and parking is a nightmare. The Yuca will take your car away and park it for you...one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in anywhere in Europe.
