We stayed at Hotel Le Maquis at peak season. We read tripavisor before making the booking. Unfortunately many points are true.

1/ Nice location, right by the sea

2/ Access to a private beach although there are some sharp rocks off the beach where several hotel guests injured themselves

3/ One of the few hotels with a tennis court in the area although the one of the Sofitel next doors is in much better condidition

4/ Avoid going to the restaurant: there are more intimiate and unique locations nearby where you can dine for less than Eur100 per person, which will be the minimum there

5/ the hotel is right in the middle of the flight path to Ajaccio airport with planes roaring by all day and until late in the evening

6/ Most staff friendly but intrusive service at the restaurant and judgement problems at the reception

Overall: you will leave the hotel with mixed feelings. It is not your charming boutique hotel and it's certainly not the Four Seasons.

We booked it for 3 nights and escaped after 1 night! I hated every second of the experience. The room was so ugly and tired that I even didn't dare to seat on the stained sofa. We asked to change room...It was still extremely old-fashioned. The bathroom was new but they kept the old fittings (lights, toilet roll holder)!!!
We ordered a tea at 4 p.m. and it felt like it was a surprise for the room service to bring tea at that time. The breakfast was extremely basic.
We decided against eating there because the whole decor was so.....terrible.
Then we went hunting for a new hotel and found the Sofitel which was the opposite:clean, amazing view, interesting design inside, beautiful pool.
Being French, I am ashamed that this hotel could be rated like this: 2 stars would be enough.
Don't even think to take your granny to the Maquis,she would feel better in her home.

I had heard so many things good about this small and quaint hotel but what a disappointment. The hotel is in a lovely secluded cove with its own private garden and beach, great sunsets but staff did not go overboard.
Outrageously expensive for a room with a terrace and a complimentary bowl of fruit. The room was minimalist to say the least. In fact, a paint lift wouldn’t go a miss nor would tea and coffee facilities, some toilet freshener, nice soft towels and a clean bathtub without black mould in between the tiles.
The restaurant has a great view overlooking the bay but is over priced for a vegetarian and the menu lacks imagination – pasta, omelet, salad.
Sorry, but not be be repeated.

I would very much agree with the previous review.This is a lovely charming hotel-very romantic and very peaceful.It has an awful lot going for it-location,intimacy,charming staff,great food,proximity to Ajaccio.But it could be so much better if the owner invested in some much needed room refurbishments.All of the rooms are tired and outdated and some-on the top floor-are just awful.I would recommend that you ask for 301,401 or 402.They are OK and have good sea-views.The problem is that you really should not be charging the prices of this hotel if you are not coming up with the goods---yes there are lots of great things about the hotel that make up for the tired rooms but not at these prices!!!But the hotel is busy so they are getting away with it!!! Breakfasts are not great and you even get charged for extra cups of coffee!I would agree that at breakfast the hotel is bordering on extortion!it's a shame because this is such a gem of a hotel and really could be perfect.I would recommend the hotel but not if you are looking for value for money.
