Best Western Plus La Marina

Ok sized room that was good for us & our dog. Breakfast was good. I thought the bed was comfortable but my boyfriend disagreed. It was ok.

The location was in the marina with a good selection of restaurants and a bar very close. We didn't eat in the hotel restaurant so cannot comment on that. We did use the mini breakfast service which was in the foyer and consisted of juice, fruit, pastries and coffee for a reasonable price. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. The location was quiet. There was a Spar not far away which could provide more or less anything you wanted. The marina was lovely and clean and a nice place to walk. It is a pleasant walk along the esplanade to St Raphael where the bus and train station are easy to find. Bus trip to St Tropez was very scenic and good value at 3 euros. Train to Nice was also scenic and efficient.

Port view room with balcony was a brilliant choice as we could make our own meals when we wanted using the nearby shops and have as good a view and table as any restaurant. Pool was brilliant and never busy. Breakfast was also brilliant as we were able to sit outside opposite the boats. There was a complete infrastructure around the hotel, bars, restaurants, baker, supermarket which we hadn't realised so there was no need to travel into St Raphael itself (a 20 min walk). In fact St Raphael people seemed to be coming to the port area as it was so good. The bus connection was a real bonus. There were 3 buses you could get (the 21 into town - 5mins, the C right up to old Roman Frejus where we used to stay on hols and the Promenade bus (free!!) which goes to the end of new Frejus port. Really quick, cheap and frequent enough when you timed it right. We used them a lot. 20 mins walk + more to go further might not seem much but in 28 degree heat and at our age it's hard going so the buses were a real bonus. We did side trips to St Tropez (boat) Cannes and Monaco (bus + train) and it was a doddle. We are planning this as our Cote D'azur base from now on. Great to stay at, easy to get to (Train plus one of the 3 buses) and really well priced and a much better option than paying over the odds for much less at one of the larger more well known resorts.

We loved our stay at the best western, the location was fantastic, on the marina with lots of bars and restaurants and a ten minute walk to central St Raphael. The pool was nicer then the pictures and the pool bar restaurant food and drinks were really nice; the bar staff could make any drinks the peach daiquiris were exceptional! Rooms clean and comfortable!

The hotel was located about a 15/20 minute walk from the main town. So if happy to walk location is good. Plenty of restaurants nearby but not thy cheap. Although you are in the South of France. Pool Was decent. Breakfast €18 per person. A bit steep for me. Otherwise a nice hotel.
