Club Vacances Bleues Plein Sud

The facilities on the hotel grounds were brilliant, and all free to use. The beach on the doorstep was also a fantastic feature. The room overlooking the sea made for a beautiful view. Entertainment on every night to suit all ages. Range of different foods was good. Location was good, not too far from Toulon or Nice. Staff were polite.

We weren't expecting everything to be in English, but nothing was in English, and with very basic French knowledge, it often became hard to understand what was on offer, as well understanding the staff. On arrival, we were told where the swimming pool was and what time it was open and closed, but other than that, we didn't know where anything was. It was only by chance that we found where the main restaurant was. Although the food was okay, none of it was accurately labelled up, whether it be in English or French, you just had to assume what it was. Ordering wine with our evening meal was a nightmare, there was no instruction on how to ask for it, and it almost felt that because we were English the waiting staff didn't want to serve us. It would have been nice to have the option of other drinks available with the meal too, other than wine and water. One of the evenings was a "white" evening, which was to be held in the other restaurant. There was no indication that this would be the only restaurant open that evening, which we felt was very unfair as we didn't want to dress all in white. We decided to venture out for a day, and as the car park was code gate, we were given a code on arrival, however when we entered the code, the gates didn't open and we discovered that the code had changed. It was only because a very friendly French man opened the gate and told us the new code that we knew, otherwise we were completely oblivious. Overall, the hotel was mainly suited to the French, which isn't a problem- if you can speak and read French fluently.
