Solemare

I had originally planned a shorter stay but after my first night I decided to extend. The hotel staff was accommodating in finding an option to make that possible and in general was wonderful at helping with any request I had. They also were so friendly and helped me practice my French graciously! The room I had was a suite - and surprised me with how cool the decor was (like a modern Moroccan almost), large sitting area, stunning bathroom. The bed was comfortable with good pillows and duvet. A kettle/coffee service in the room, a desk though expected for most North Americans is not always available in European hotels - but it was in this one. I used the heated pool in October which I also very much appreciated, including it’s loungers and its view to the harbour. Parking was easy once I knew where it was. Finally, the location was easy to get to many parts of the town - ie restaurants, grocery stores, the harbour, touristic options like the train to old town and boat tours, as well as easy to get in and out of town. Do note though that it is located specifically on the harbour and not above on the cliff/old town so you would need to climb up. As I was exploring the whole area - beaches, trails, other towns in addition to old Bonifacio this was not at all a problem. Overall a great experience!

Shocking booking experience - they take the booking quickly enough but I have been trying to contact them for almost a month as there is a query on my booking. I have emailed them multiple times, filled forms in on their website, phoned the hotel direct twice, tried instagram and facebook and they never reply. Not once in an entire month!!! I refuse to give EUR 450 to a business that ignores me. What if I needed their assistance prior to arrival, or had a query on my way to the property, or even had to contact them after I had paid them. Booking cancelled. I will stay somewhere else.
