This hotel isnt perfect. It isn't fancy. It isn't state of the art. But if a beautiful pool is your number one concern - this place more than fits the bill! Breakdown... Room: Pros - Nice and spacious, comfortable bed, always kept clean, and a decent sized bathroom to boot . The large balcony is a great option for late night drinks too! Cons - The toilet is in a small cubicle room separate from the bathroom... Which could, err, get a bit smelly given there was no real way to, ahem, air it out. There's also no ironing board or iron in the room, so I had to iron my shirts in their storage/conference room, which wasnt ideal. Hotel: The website pretends the hotel is far fancier than it is, and it's in fact a very relaxed, down to earth kind of scene. Pros - The staff are VERY friendly and kind. So kind in fact, that one of the owners gave us a lift to the train station so we wouldn't miss our train. What a hero! We love him! Every single one also made an effort to speak English with us (far more effort than we did to speak French!) which we were very grateful for. 24 hour reception means there's always someone around to help you out, and we quite enjoyed the key system, designed so that you'll never lose them! Cons- The breakfast set-up was nice and adequate, although I agree with other reviewers that it's lack of hot food makes the price a bit of an eyebrow raiser. Could two people eat for cheaper than 30 euros in Cassis centre? Potentially, but we chose convenience over cost, so can't really complain too much! Pool: The crowning glory of this hotel, and the spot that we and almost every other guest seemed to congregate... Our valhalla! Our Eden! Our little slice of heaven! Pros- The only thing my girlfriend wanted from this holiday was a nice, relaxing pool area with a sun lounger. So I could have wept with joy the first time we walked up the steps to the Royal's secluded pool area. With ample loungers, pretty water features and the perfectly positioned sun trap, we spent every day of our stay here from 10 - 5. As did so many other guests. Cons - A lack of food or bar service just stops it from being perfect. Other reviews from previous years suggest this was usual practice at one point, so not sure what's happened there? Location: Perfect, just an 8 minute walk from the main harbour of Cassis!
Very Good
