Marseille Plage Fernandel Hotels

"Highly recommend. Beautiful hotel, great staff and the restaurant experience was exquisite. "

"We enjoyed our time at Villa la Nicole. Anne was very welcoming and helpful, and talked through how to use the jacuzzi when we explained that was what we wanted. We really appreciated the super-fresh eggs from her chickens!The only critique is that the flat is by no means 'two steps' from the beach. It is a fifteen-minute walk. Not too far at all, but better described as having a view of the sea, over the village."

"The hotel is in a very good location, in front of the beach and of a trail of about 1km heading to the city center, very nice. Snorkeling and swimming is good. Personnel is generally nice. However, the landlors (couple) is very unfriendly. We arrived at the hotel at 2:10, after a trip which started at 4AM, with delays and problems. We were tired and just wanted to put our stuff in our room, put on swimmsuites and go to the beach - we had opera at 8 in Aix. Owners insisted that "check-in is at 3PM"; even if the room is ready, they claim that keys opens the rooms at 3 (in >50 years of travelling all over the world this is the first time I hear about such a system/story) - they sent us to a room to change our stuff, did not give us a towel (they are only for the super-small "pool"). And they treated us really badly. Nextday: the locker did not work, even after changing batteries, we spent half an hour with trial and errors - I still remember the owner's aggressive voice saying "can't you wait 10 minutes?" Now, accidets happen, and indeed the personnel was very nice. But this lady... I never met such an unfriendly person iin an hotel. Owners should make their guests happy, not confront them with hursh and aggressiveness! So: the hotel is very nice, 5 stars, and most likely you will not meet the landlors, but in my opinion they deserved 1 star. As I said, I am a frequent traveller, visiting hotels all around the world, but I never had such bad experience with hotel's owners. "

"The terrace and the view are incredible! We spent most of our time outside relaxing and enjoying our stay. The breeze off the water kept us cool. The only time it got a bit hot was for a couple of hours in the evening when the sun was setting. There was plenty of room in the kitchen to prepare food and the bathroom also had plenty of room to store toiletries, which was nice to be able to put supplies away and not keep them in a suitcase. "

"Loved this little place - great for walking my dogs early and late evening. Fairly basic but everything I needed (apart from a wooden spoon!). Really peaceful, close to the beach. Great for small close family gatherings. My daughter loved it too,"
