I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in Le Lavandou. The location is superb, right on the beachfront with breathtaking views of the Mediterranean from my balcony. The staff were incredibly friendly and provided excellent service throughout my stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable, with nice amenities including tea making facilities. The included breakfast had a lovely view and offered a great selection of fresh food.

Everything was great, no complaints.

The staff were absolutely courteous, helpful and friendly. The washroom was wonderful, being quite roomy, well-appointed, bright, and fresh. The room was faultlessly clean. We slept well...outside noise was slight at its worst...silent at its best (Note: it was cool and we had the windows closed). Though we did not make use of it, there was a pleasant-looking restaurant on the second floor, overlooking the beach, the promenade and the boules courts. The location is very convenient - the town and shopping are behind, and the beach and sea are in front. The small fridge was appreciated for storing cheese, strawberries, and beveridges. This was a very pleasant facility with courteous and decent operators and staff.

There is nothing we did "not like" about this hotel. However, we would note that the view of the sea from the balcony was on a somewhat oblique angle from our room (we had a room with a balcony at the side of the building, not fronting on the seaside). Primarily, it was a view of the City Hall, unless you positioned your chair a certain way. If you want to truly see the sea spread before you, I would suggest specifying the seafront rooms.

Fabulous location right on the beach. Rooms are fine - quite big tho the hotel isn't so still feels more like a guest house. Breakfast is good value but plenty of places to eat out if you prefer.

This hotel is a real gem in the heart of a vibrant town. The value for money is exceptional, especially considering the location right on the beachfront with stunning views of the Mediterranean from the rooms with balconies. The attention to detail is impressive, with basic amenities provided and even tea making facilities in the rooms. The staff are friendly and the breakfast, which is included in the price, is delicious and served in a lovely breakfast room with a view.

All was fantastic, couldn't ask for more.

Very welcoming and helpful staff. Room clean and functional. Bathroom facilities adequate. Quiet (many rooms with sound-proofing). Top floor (3rd) has only 4 rooms - other two floors share the remainder of the bedrooms. Breakfast room/tea room is small but has a wonderful view out onto the beach about 20 metres away and lots of shops/restaurants are very near (within 10 metres). Centre of town around 100 metres away. Public parking nearby (at the harbour 11 euro/24H - May 2011).

Only 7 carparking spaces. Limited variety at breakfast if you stay beyond a few days. Few of the 23 rooms appear to have sea view (at a premium). One lift (just big enough for a wheelchair or pram?). Not suitable for those who cannot climb stairs - 2 sets (one each for daytime and evening access) means disabled access doesn't appear to be available into the hotel.

An excellent hotel, very central in the lovely town of Le Lavandou. Very helpful friendly staff and I will certainly stay there again.

Great seaside location, easy walking distance to everything. Nice coffee and friendly service at breakfast. The room had a balcony with a sea view.

Room was basic and amenities were not as expected. Noise levels were high early on weekends.

The hotel is centrally located and easy to reach ferries to the islans, the marina, the bistros and the Ofice de Tourisme. The breezy, comfortable dining room looks right out to the main square.

The owners, Philippe and Brigitte, were very welcoming. The hotel is perfectly situated in a lovely square directly opposite the beautiful beach, and near the marina. The two rooms we stayed in were spacious and very comfortable, and breakfast had all you need in a lovely room looking out over the square and seaside. Le lavandou is perfect for a relaxing holiday, and we would definately stay in Hotel Espadon again!

Perfect location in the heart of town and right on the beachfront. Clean rooms with nice amenities and comfortable beds. Exceptionally friendly and helpful staff.

Nothing to fault.

Position and ambiance of hotel and friendliness of proprietors

Big rooms, very friendly and helfpful owners, excellent location a few steps away from the beach.

Rooms are basic and not soundproof. Breakfast, though sufficient, consists only of breadrolls, croissants and yoghurt.

Friendly staff, good atmosphere, enjoyable breakfast, wonderful view, gentle and professional staff.

It was all superb.

Very much enjoyed our experieice here - upgraded to a room with a balconey and sea side view; excellent room. Was able to look down on the sidewalk, street scene below and out to the ocean - absolututelu beautiful

You have to use a code top get in at night. The wi-fi was of and on in the room - could go down the hall and find a good 'hot-spot'.

It is a really pleasant hotel the rooms not luxurious but the price is reasonable for what you get. The owners are lovely.
