Airelles Château de la Messardière

The service by the hotel was really good. We enjoyed both our complimentary breakfast and lunch buffet. The hotel provide free shuttle rides to the town and private beach clubs as well. The gardens are beautiful The sauna and steam room was very hot, way above the normal spa in other hotels which are slightly strange. The pools are okay not particularly special. Dinner at the Italian restaurant in the hotel is very overpriced and food is mediocre. We had to send the carbonara back because it was inedible with the amount of salt in it. The most puzzling issue we had was actually our room is fully lighted in white light, which is not common in a 5 star luxury hotel. There was no ambient light. The bathroom looks like a hospital toilet, and the decor looks outdated. We requested to change to other rooms but the hotel said they are full. It was then we found out that some rooms have already been refurbished with better lightings, and some are still dated. It made us wonder whether they gave us an outdated room because we booked via a third party website and not direct. We had high expectations because this is a 1500 dollars stay, and we expected way more for the room. Despite liking the service, we have to say it is not value for money, and the hotel can do way better in terms of their room and restaurant.

This was our second visit to the Chateau de la Messardiere. The staff was super attentive at all times. Joel, one of the Concierges, went out of his way to be helpful. The hotel runs a free shuttle day and night to the town center and during the day to the beach (Tropezina or Tahiti). The location, views and property are stunning. The rooms are well appointed and spacious-we had a junior suite with a garden view and just beyond you could see the bay of Pampelonne. Breakfast buffet was very good with everything you could imagine and stayed open quite late. Lunch at the Terasse pool restaurant was also excellent. We did not eat at L’Acacia. The bar had good live music in the evenings. Just love this hotel. We will keep coming back.

If planning a visit to the Saint-Tropez region,this is definitely the hotel to choose.It's a kingdom of serenity,you can hear the scilence in the beautiful garden,only birds sing now and then.The rooms are beautiful.The personnel-professionals every one of them.It's great they offer free shuttle 24 hours to Tropezina beach and centre of St Tropez,and that on demand,not fixed hours.Pool area very pleasant And yet,I was very happy to leave the region this morning. I never for a minute understood why is St Tropez so famous,why a cocktail should cost 25 euro,what is all the noise about.I've been to many much more picturesque places in the Mediterranean.Sure by keeping prices high like this you block the access of certain kind of people.But I really prefer a more lively crowd.
