“complete rip off buffet”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2009
1
person found this review helpful

While holidaying in Tartane this year, my fiance and I visited the restaurant in the Baie du Galion hotel. We were recommended to go there by the lovely and very helpful reception staff, who went out of their way to show us where it was. From there, things went downhill. The price for the buffet was more than we had been told at reception. We were brought to a filthy table and it took them ages to clean it for us. We had no sooner arrived than the staff began clearing away the buffet which had very little choice, and no meat dishes at all. I could not begin to describe how awful, tasteless and cold everything was. They should have told us before we paid at the door on the way in that there wasn't much left and it had been sitting out for a long time. After dinner, when we ordered tea and coffee, which was included, we were told to walk downstairs to the bar below and get it ourselves! Unbelievable, staff horrible, would have complained in person but was too weak from hunger and lacking in the French to explain how bad things were. It really spoiled our night and we are not fussy eaters at all.

“Pleasant View, Cute Seaside Town, Hard Bed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 July 2008

person found this review helpful

The setting in Tartane was attractive, the view to the ocean was beautiful. The rooms were clean and the housekeeping was quite good. The pool was quite enjoyable. My room had a kitchenette which was interestingly located on the balcony. It was decently stocked with eating/cooking implements. The bad points, however, were several. The bed was "hobbit" height. It didn't even come up to my knees and I am average height. The mattress was hard and lumpy and my back hurt every morning. To view the small 19" TV meant craning your neck from the bed. Although I saw a satellite dish, there were only 5 working channels all in French. The food was limited variety and very overpriced for a "buttfet." 30 euros a person for dinner. The first dinner attempted had the limited choice of beef/chicken, potatoes/rice and some salad. The breakfast "buffet" consisted of one choice of fried eggs, sausage, bread and fruit. I did give it one more chance for dinner my last night, but all they were offering was an extremely simple salad. For the amount charged, they certainly could've had more of a selection. The staff gave me the wrong code to call internationally and the calls home never did work. No one seemed to know how to call the U.S. You really have to watch for the signs to the hotel if you've never been there before and there is no sign at the drive you turn on to go up to the hotel.

  • Liked — Ocean View, Pools
  • Disliked — Extremely hard, lumpy mattress, bed height way too low, TV way too high & at angle to bed

“Nice hotel in a great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2007

We had a lovely stay at at the Karibea Baie du Galion Resort. The rooms were nice, good value, and the views superb.
We enjoyed the location next to the fishing village, all the little restaurants around and the great excursions all around.
The welcome was nice, and overall, the hotel was a good value.
We will go back to discover more areas of the island which is beautiful.
