Le Rayol Hotels, Rayol-Canadel-sur-Mer

"A True Gem in Sainte-Maxime I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Le Chardon Bleu this August, and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed like family by the wonderful husband and wife who run the hotel. Their warmth, professionalism, and genuine care made my stay unforgettable. The owners are truly the heart of this property. They went above and beyond—personally helping me with restaurant reservations, beach club suggestions, local tips, and even little touches like recommending the best walking routes and hidden gems around Sainte-Maxime. You can feel their love for what they do in every detail of the experience. The hotel itself is charming, spotless, and perfectly located. Just a short walk to the beach, the marina, and all the shops and restaurants—yet tucked away enough to offer a peaceful retreat. The rooms are tastefully decorated, the beds are comfortable, and everything is maintained with great care. You can tell the owners take immense pride in the property. It’s rare to come across such a welcoming, sincere, and helpful pair—they embody true hospitality. Their attentiveness never felt forced or scripted; it was heartfelt. Whether it was making last-minute changes, checking in to ensure I had what I needed, or simply sharing a kind word, they made the experience personal and memorable.Bravo and thank you to the lovely couple behind this gem. You’ve set the bar incredibly high. Altin B "

"we loved our stay so much. The view is absolute die for the pool is great. The service is great and the food was amazing. It’s also nice because we’re not in the bus of everything but a quick Uber away would stay again. i also had the best sleep!"

"Magical village. Ferry ride to St Tropez right outside door. "

"The site is sort of far away from most things but there is lots to do onsite or it is easy enough to take a bus or walk elsewhere. Staff was very helpful, informative, and welcoming. Beds were comfortable and the room was very clean. The food from the restaurant was ok. The rooms can be hard to locate because the site is so big, but the staff is very helpful and shows you exactly how to get to your room. "

"Great Property!! "

"Very nice hotel"
