Sowell Résidences Les Chênes Verts

“Relaxing and very enjoyable stay”

We had a wonderful holiday at Les Chenes Verts! The rooms are quite tired and dated (we only paid for the basic room) but are clean and the beds were comfortable. The So'inclusive package was brilliant and we loved being able to either eat lunch there or pack a picnic at breakfast to take with us on hikes/days out. There is also 'gouter' at 4pm with cakes and aperos at 6:30 with a cocktail of the day and nibbles before dinner. The dinner itself was excellent with a different set of main courses each night, including things like mussels, salmon, chicken kebabs etc. The desserts were my son's favourite and he managed a plateful each night! The heated pool was brilliant. We were lucky with beautiful weather for October but the heating was still appreciated. We also borrowed boules one day for a fun game on the pitch. The hotel's location in excellent and we enjoyed sitting on the rooftop terrace with a cocktail taking in the views of the med. Lots to do in the area - we took the train to Monaco for the day, explore the Massif Esterel on some stunning hikes, visited the Verdon gorge and spent time in Frejus/St Raphael. So good we're planning to return next year!

We’ve just arrived home from our 10 night stay here and what an amazing stay we had! To be honest I was a little worried having read some of the previous reviews but from experience I know everyone’s expectations are different. We had booked this holiday as it was great value so I was never expecting luxury. Yes, rooms are basic, we were fortunate that they upgraded us on arrival as they thought we would be more comfortable in different accommodation. Beds are not the comfiest but we all slept well after busy days. A lot of people have commented on how the rooms could do with an upgrade but this didn’t bother us in the slightest, we didn’t spend a lot of time in there and I’m not one for fancy hotels, I love the more rustic feel. The bar is great, special mention to Mihai who was always friendly and makes a great cocktail! The bar closes at 10pm but for us with young children this was perfect. There is no entertainment but we were once again happy with this as it meant we could spend quality time together playing card games. Meals were a highlight, we ate well for breakfast, lunch a dinner. A great selection everyday, deserts were divine! Wine is a viable with dinner and we definitely made the most of filling our carafes! Sorbets were a big hit with my youngest daughter. We never had a problem with getting a table, it’s busy but not chaotic. Loved that you could make up a picnic box for lunch, this was great as we could take something away if we were heading out for the day. Lunch is also served if you are staying in the resort and want to dine in the restaurant. Snacks are provided around 4pm, the chocolate cake is so good!! There are also snacks served around 6.30pm perfect to have with your daily aperitif! We spent most of our time at the rooftop pool and it never seemed too busy. I did feel that more shaded areas up here would be beneficial. The beach across the road is small and stones. I preferred this as I hate sand!! We spent hours collecting sea glass and exploring round the rocks. You can hirer equipment - kayaks, paddle boards, snorkels, chairs and parasols from the lovely Isabelle; she reasonably priced, so friendly and gave us a discount as we were staying at the SOWELL. Exploring further a field is straight forward, the bus stop is right outside the hotel and it’s a short drive to Saint Raphael, A’Gay, Dramont; all of which we explored. A short 15 min walk to Boulouris and you can hop on the train and be in Cannes within 30 minutes for roughly £50 for a family of four. All in all highly recommend and would return in a heartbeat.

“Kallis mitä saat”

Käynti ei käynnistynyt liian hyvin, koska vastaanottoaikoja on hyvin vähän, ja meidän oli odotettava noin 30 C lämpöä.

Käynti ei käynnistynyt liian hyvin, koska vastaanottoaikoja on hyvin vähän, ja meidän oli odotettava noin 30 C lämpöä. Jälkeen, huomasimme, että olisimme voineet odottaa baarissa, mutta mitään selviä viitteitä siitä. Kun vastaanotto on auki, on aina jonossa ja pitkä odotus. Asunto oli ok, hyvä koko, hyvä varustus keittiössä ja ilmastointi. Miinuspuolella maksetusta hinnasta en pidä: Myöhäinen sisäänkirjautuminen (klo 17 jälkeen) Ottaa sängyt Ottaa itse puhdistaa koko asunto, mukaan lukien roskat roskista Ei kauppoja / tiloja lähellä Erittäin varhainen check - out (10 am) Mitä he tekevät asunnoissa klo 10-17? Onko vain yksi henkilö tarkkailemassa poistettuja huoneita? Hyviä asioita: Monimutkainen on tien toisella puolella rannalta Allas oli virkistävä, jos vähän täynnä Baari henkilökunta oli ystävällistä ja avuliaita, huolehtivat laukut 6 tunnin välillä check - out ja juna.

Price vs. Quality of the room. The room standard represented 90's. Sofa in the living room was unconfortable, old and shabby with two different levels of sleeping - not acceptable for adults. The 2 AC were working with an annoying noise. No plates, dishes and silverware - big disadvantage, especially, when there was lack of info on the page and in a reservation confirmation (however, it would be too late as it is quite decisive factor) before driving 1200 km and thinking what to bring with us. Ants in the kitchen. Recommendations: refurbish the room and bring it to the XXI century. Other points. The all-inclusive hours for bar were too short - not only my opinion but other guests, especially, as the hotel is located in an suburbs of the town deprived from any other nearby bars and restaurants.You may have earned more, if the bar was open longer. Strong point in plus was the buffet breakfast and lunch with its variety of dishes (except from Sunday - it looked like collection of leftovers from the week - apologies for my harsh comment on that but it was our departure day and based on the previous day s we were very optimistic, but eventually, very disappointed). In fact, the catering saved lots of the yellow stars I gave in my opinion. Recommendation: keep the high standard of the catering throught the week.
