This hotel has a great location and could be wonderful if it just sorted out its facilities.
For example the pool steps were still broken (see a previous review). The sealant round our bath needed repairing. The water didn't run out of the bath properly. Wood decking was missing from around the pool and the area around the pool was scruffy.
Breakfast is expensive at 24euros per person.
I ordered a Cognac and was not asked what type I wanted. On the bill I found it was a Hennessy XO and was charged 28euros. I think that is probably a record price for one measure of Cognac.
If you want a simple salad or Club Sandwich for lunch you are out of luck there is nothing as simple as that on the menu.We ended up buying our own picnic and having that on our room balcony which was very pleasant.
Finally on our last day a wind was blowing at breakfast and a huge 12 foot wide parasol flew into the air and landed very close to some guests. The weight of it was such that it could have killed someone. This needn't have happened if the parasol had been properly secured to the deck but screw securing device was rusted and didn't work. The staff looked on in amazement but no apologies were given, just the usual French shrug!
The hotel could be so good if the would just try to sort out the little items and do some proper maintenance. Instead one is left with the feeling that all the owner cares about is maximising his income and saving money on things that matter.

Good points -
Fabulous setting, friendly and helpful reception staff, Cedric (should be employee of the year as he is so courteous and helpful) who looks after you at the pool, one of the bar staff, restaurant entrees and main courses.The reduction in cost for complaining about the noise from the wedding and the maid.

Bad points -
The impression of some of the staff that guests are an inconvenience that are tolerated, there is little customer service maybe a training programme is needed?
Rooms that look clean but then you notice, mould spots on the curtains, cobwebs, rust stains, very hard towels.
Don't have a room below the restaurant especially if there is a wedding on! Not being able to book restaurant for first 2 nights as fully booked?! and wedding.
No "Do not disturb" sign for room doors so woken 3 days by room maid. On one occasion our teenage daughter was asked to get up out of bed so the maid could make her bed!
Restaurant staff who place a tray of green liquid and croutons with 2 pots of mashed up stuff on your table and do not tell you what it is and are so unhelpful when asked to explain what we are eating.
Cost of breakfast, we had it one day and it was Ok but not worth 24€
Cost of hotel taxi to St Clair and back was 30€ (cost from Le Lavandou in private taxi was 10€)
Lack of local tourist information e.g. the little train, restaurants, buses (not all of us have maseratis or equivalent) and want to experience the local culture.
The overall expererience is one of a hotel that may have in the past been 4 star but now due to the decor and the staff, leaves you wondering what you paid all that money for, other than the setting. Worth the money? No way.

First I will say that this is a magnificent location. There's not much to hate being right on the Med, with the waves literally lapping at the rocks right off of our terrace. It's the ideal location for a relaxing few days. However, the hotel doesn't come close to living up to 4 stars!! I spent four days with my husband and parents (who are both 71 and in good health). There are far too many stairs and stone steps for an older person to manuevuer -- no elevator at all! On the final morning, my mother fell and hit her head against the building. That said, it's really the service that kills this place. The staff in the restaurant is downright nasty -- my husband is French and I'm fluent -- so you can't write that off to us being "foreigners." one of the waiters, rather than clear the only table in the full breakfast room actually asked my mother if there wasn't someplace else she could sit. The food was delicious and well-prepared -- but the Beach Club menu was a tad formal -- if everyone was ordering salads and lighter fare it might be a hint to the chef to create more casual alternatives. The one pool ladder was broken and made it difficult to exit -- there was no other way out. Thankfully, Cedric, the one person responsible for EVERYTHING at pool level (greeting water taxis, drinks and lunch on the chaises) was terrific. The rooms are furnished by Ikea -- and the smashed mosquito on the wall and stain from another one didn't endgender confidence that the room is cleaned often. The HUGE gap between Les ROches and Hotel and Club Domaine de Cavaliere (5 stars) should cause a reassessment of the 4 star Les Roches.

We found this charming hotel to be just what we wanted. It was small, smart, quiet and not pretentious like many hotels in the south of france.
The service was excellent apart from the breakfast staff who seem to not quite get the idea that customers need looking after and its not a cafeteria ! but the breakfast area is good with a terrance over looking the med which is what you want. you and the Med.
The biggest mistake is not using its wonderful location to offer evening dining under the stars overlooking the med. Its pure madness from the owner and all the staff agree. We booked the restaurant the first night and was thoroughly looking forward to dinner on one of the terraces but alas we were shown a huge cavern of a restaurant with windows over looking the med. it just was not the same thing so we swerved the place and didnt eat there again during our weeks stay. It seems the owner isnt prepared to invest in the restaurant, people dont use it because of the dull facility inside and therefore he isnt getting business in !
anyway, the location is excellent just outside le lavandou by about 5-10 minutes by car. we swam to the next door beach for lunch most days as it was so easy and fun and with lots more choice. Cedric works the pool side area and is charming and does a great job with not a lot of thanks as being one of the main customer facing members of staff. The pool area isnt huge but then again neither is the hotel so for us that was great. Its not that friendly for kids but there is a small pool on the sun bathing terrace but there isnt any area to mess around and play.
The door staff that park your car are very kind, helpful and charming and again need praise for being so attentive.
the rooms are fine, eclectic would be one word, we had a nice terrance to sit on at night, bathroom was fine but only a hand shower in a huge bath and no screen or anywhere to hang the shower head !
the area is great for many things, st tropez is along the coast and takes about 45 mins, le lavandou is close by and well worth going to for evening drinks and supper. Its not flash or expensive and more like st maxime further around the coast. The best place is Bormes les mimosas which is delightful in every way. its a small village outside le lavandou and full of small cobbled streets, shops and restaurants. its a great find and so is a wonderful restaurant run by a husband and wife team called Les fleurs de Thynn. it was the best food we had all week and we sat in the street drinking and eating and it was fantastic in every way.
we went to marseille and drove to le lavandou, its about 2 hours drive from Marseille and not the easiest place to escape from. Marseille needs work in many ways and new roads and sign posts would help. the best place to fly to is Toulon and that is very close to Le Lavandou.
Overall, its a nice place. tired in places ( why were they painting the sea side front of the hotel in July?) no for kids, small and pleasant, smart not luxurious and i would go back in a few years time.
