Hotels near Kuentz le Monde des Cactus, Frejus

We moved out of another hotel and was desperately looking for another place to stay. We were lucky to have found this small hotel just of the main busy street, yet walking distance to the beach, shops and restaurants. Rooms and linen were clean. Fresh white towels provided. Vanessa our host went out of her way to make our stay as enjoyable as possible. She offered us a room (last minute) exactly fitting to our needs. She did her best to organise suitable spa times and made some useful recommendations on restaurants. The quaint little breakfast with freshly pressed juice exceeded our expectations. Thank you very much Vanessa for making this a memorable experience.

This is our 8th year at your hotel and very much enjoyed our stay.We found the staff to be helpful and accommodating.We also enjoyed the breakfast which catered for all tastes.Although the sea view rooms have been double glazed we found that the noise from outside late evening sometimes interrupts sleep.The lady in charge of the breakfast room was very pleasant and a vast improvement than last years incumbent.Susanne (not sure of spelling)was also very friendly and always greeted you with a smile. Hope to see you all next year.

Hotel on the port of Santa Lucia and right next to the Saint Raphaël convention center. Walk between 20 and 30 min. to access the city center but entirely doable. Free parking until May 31 all around the hotel. Lots of restaurants, Spar supermarket nearby. Very good superior room with sea and port view. Complete breakfast with good products. Hotel recommended for its calm too.

The hotel is nicely secluded and quiet. Easily accessible with both underground and surface parking. The staff is very friendly. Adequate attention is paid to reception and explanation. But. The hotel is outdated. Unrepaired damage can be found in many places. The interior is outdated. And also the carpet, apart from being from another era, is dirty and worn. The curtains dilapidated and the interior dated. No refrigerator in the room. The swimming pool is pleasant. But unfortunately the glass wall is not very nice. A little more paving would also have been better in our opinion. Distributing towels at the pool would also have been a plus instead of distributing them in the room. Furthermore, anno 2024 a perfect network in terms of wifi is a must. This score was simply 0. Ditto for 4G/5G. Long story short. Renovate this building. Modernize. Raise the price and in the long run then both customers and staff will be winners.

Where do I start, let’s start with the good and keep it short. Free and convenient parking practically at the door to your apartment, the wifi worked well and the bed was reasonably comfortable. There was a little outside garden area with a table and some chairs but the garden area didn’t really look that inviting The staff at the office were friendly. The bad, it is a longer list. When you arrive at the area where the reception office is the area around it looks like an abandoned shopping centre on a council estate with a building that looks like it could have four or five shops, cafes etc but instead is just an empty shell with some of the leaves from outside scattered on the floor and the concreted area out the front of these abandoned shops and reception area is just a faded painted concrete slab. The apartment is really where things go downhill, while opening the door was easy locking it from either the inside or outside with the key which was the only way to lock it was near impossible and I had to call reception to come and help and she showed me how it works and you have to “force” the lever to a 12 o’clock position and then turn the key and after a few tries it did lock but each time I went to lock it I had the same problem over and over again which really shouldn’t be the case locks should work. The apartment is a decent size but so poorly laid out, there is an L-shaped main room with a trundle sofa which I think converts to two single beds at one end of the room and a table and four plastic chairs at the other end with a TV in between. There were also a couple of little tables. There was also a freestanding wardrobe in one corner. The main problems with the room was the lack of lighting with just one ceiling bulb to cover the whole room and while it wasn’t a huge room it needed more lighting. There was a lamp near the sofa but it wasn’t much use. Off to the side was a very steep staircase though I am not sure it would legally qualify in many parts of the world as a staircase and is more of a ladder/staircase and under the stairs were some mops and brooms and a clothes airer thing. Off the main room was the small kitchenette which was pretty typical of the setup you get in this type of accommodation. It had the usual, a small under the counter fridge/freezer, sink, two burner cooktop, microwave and range hood but the only source of light in the kitchen area was the light on the rangehood. There were plates, glasses and cutlery for four people though some things only had three while others had five. A couple of pots and a pan but really no utensils except a strange group of about 6 items and it looked like as things go missing which I guess they do they are not replaced. The sink had a wall mounted dishwashing liquid dispenser but it was attached to the wall and didn’t reach the sink which really defeats the purpose. The bathroom and separate wc were off the kitchen and if you left the door open you did get a little light from th
