We have been coming here for years with our two children and absolutely love this hotel. They have a great team with impeccable service. The rooms might need renovations some time soon, but they are always extremely clean and serviced very well every day. We will definitely be spending our upcoming summer vacation here again!

We had a really lovely stay. My wife’s favorite Relais property from the dozen we stayed at. The gardens are very peaceful, path to beach is clutch, and service was top notch. Not sure why people complaining about the service, everyone we encountered was kind , smiling , and helpful. I would highly recommend a stay here.

One of the worst experiences i have ever had in the south of France.
First of all i paid them in full 3 months prior and believe me it was far from cheap.
I wanted to relax and feel the vibe of this authentic city but the opposite happened,
We drove six hours to get there and arrived at around 2 pm they refused to give us the rooms until 3 pm ! That was fine its their right but they did not give us the rooms until 4:30 pm !!!!
Secondly the rooms they got us in were not air conditioned and look like storage rooms !
We asked to be moved to a better room and we were hassled to check out the next day even though we didn’t get into our rooms !!!

Worst experience !!! Would not recommend this place to anyone!!!

The Palmeraie is not worthy of a Michelin start. The waiter split 5 full cocktails all over one of our guests at the very start of the meal, soaking their dress and underwear and leaving them sitting in a pool of Pina Colada. Accidents happen, and that’s ok, but what happened next was unacceptable from any restaurant let alone one that has a star. The staff did not apologise at all, not once all evening, they were unable to provide any alternative clothing (albeit they are a spa and presumably had lots of robes). They didn’t change the table cloth but only put cellophane on it, and a napkin on the cellophane, leaving the soaking table cloth in place. Our guest has to sit in wet underwear for her meal whilst wrapped in a shawl we had to argue to borrow from the hotel shop. They delivered the bill with a smile without any discount or apology, and when we questioned this they reduced the bill by €100 being about the cost of dry cleaning the dress, and less than 5% of the bill. How this place has a Michelin star is beyond comprehension. You would get better service from McDonalds. As a general rule of life you get what you pay for, but not at Chateau Valmer. Go to La Reserve if you want an exceptional experience … only go to Vamler if you have a brilliant sense of humour and want a comedy experience and like to have dinner wearing a poncho.

Our experience at this hotel was nothing short of disastrous, a stark contrast to what one would expect from a high-end accommodation. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with an indifference that persisted throughout our stay. The staff was consistently unfriendly and disinterested, showing no effort in hospitality or service.

The rooms and common areas are in dire need of renovation and feel outdated. There is a complete lack of the charm and elegance expected from a property of this category. Instead of a luxurious ambiance, our stay felt like being in an impersonal dormitory, more reminiscent of a mass accommodation on Mallorca than a Relais & Chateaux hotel.

It was an exceedingly poor decision to book this hotel. Fortunately, we have now moved to the Lily of The Valley Hotel, just five minutes away, where we are finally experiencing the quality and service we had originally hoped for. I strongly advise against subjecting yourself to the frustration and disappointment we endured.
