Splendid Hôtel & Spa

Our three night stay here during the rugby world cup was wonderful. The hotel is perched in a quiet location overlooking the sea. All eleven rooms are unique - we stayed in Agate, a triple aspect junior suite. Beautiful views, super comfortable bed and all comforts. It is possible to swim in the sea direct from the hotel terrace, jelly shoes are provided and there is a unique swimming pool which is built into the basement. Breakfasts were of delicious continental style. The hotel does not have a restaurant but there are so many to choose from in Bandol.... a 10 minute stroll to the marina. I hope that we will return one day.

Excellent hotel in the excellent place. The hotel is just near to the center, but yet in its own private quiet place. The view is fantastic. We've loved the building, the personnel and the beds. The latter were super comfy. The solarium area outside of the hotel was very beautiful and cozy. Everything one need for a comfortable time was there. It has private access to the sea, which makes it all even better. Nice teas are also available in gym and plenty of water for free which is a nice gesture. There is no restaurant in the hotel, but it provides lovely meals from a local restaurant. We've loved the food, quality was decent. It is not expensive too. Some observations we've had: 1. The swimming pool is really a room full of water. It is nice, but it is not the same as a normal swimming pool. 2. The spa area is not well organised. It is kinda a big room devided into two parts - gym and hammam. Because of hammam, water is everywhere. And the gym has very old machines and weird smell. Overall, even with the current not ideal layout, machines need to be replaced to a better ones, some parfumes placed everywhere and something needs to be done about water on the floor. Because at this moment, the area is not comfortable to be and does not have a relaxing vibe. 3. Some of the finishings (walls, paint, wallpapers) are not really of a good quality at this amazing place that is totally new. However, the bed was very nice and the bathroom / toilet were well organised and thought through. It is a fantastic place to stay to enjoy sun, swimming pool, privacy and views without visiting souna and swimming pool. The personnel of the hotel went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed.
