Les Rizieres — Hotel in Arles

Some parking by most of the bedrooms but watch for the brackets protruding from the A/C units. All accesses and parking areas are surfaced with fine white dust which gets everywhere.||||Staff all very pleasant and accommodating, some speak some English ||||The pool is a good size and is allegedly heated but the slabs around are uneven - care is needed. New loungers and other upholstered garden furniture with cushions, also parasols - all a bit improvement. The main access is down a full width ramp which is tiled hence slippery - it urgently needs a handrail down the centre as far as where the mater is adult waste deep.||||Come equipped for dealing with mosquitoes.||||The bedroom was just about adequate for size. No drawers, a small wardrobe with a space over containing spare blankets. A corner table but no socket nearby. Small refrigerator. Really only equipped for short stays since there is nowhere to store luggage. There is a garden table and two chairs outside each front entrance but adjacent smokers can be a problem since they are not far apart.||||The area between the front of the bedrooms and the breakfast room/reception area is largely crazy paved. Due to tree roots it is very crazily paved - plenty of trips.||||The bathroom had a shower over a bath but no brackets to hang up the shower head so you must hold it all the time you are using it. Loose toiletries.||||At breakfast visitors' dogs were about, some large and in numbers - not all well behaved. Good selection of items which were...

Staff were helpful. Location out of town was nice, although pack mozzie spray as its surrounded by water, and there were loads when we were there. The room was compact and functional with a clean, fully stocked bathroom (toiletries and soft towels) There was a mini bar, plenty of plug sockets, mosquito nets on all doors and windows, and lockable doors to both the front and rear of the room (it was possible to park outside the back entrance to the room, great for unpacking) It was quiet when we were there, but I can imagine if all rooms were full, it could get a bit cramped and noisy. The pool was set apart from the sleeping block. We didn’t go, but good to keep pool noise away from rooms! There was a buffet breakfast available for €10. We opted to drive down the road and pick up fresh bread and ate on the beach. Lunch and dinner can be eaten in or outside rooms (patio furniture outside room) plenty of shops to pick up supplies in town. It seemed very much kitted out for families on summer holidays (we were a couple on a road trip) The town itself is a proper resort, but go inland, and its beautiful and wild! We had a room with a mezzanine level, which would only be suitable for the young, but not too young, and those not suffering from vertigo as it was high with a...

A very cute, family-run hotel near St.-Maries. The rooms are clean and the staff is friendly, the area around is serene and quiet. The pool is nice, especially during the earlier days. Breakfast is okay, but not a necessity.

A few minor issues though: The wifi is down for majority of the time, but it seems to be a general problem as my mobile network does not properly work in majority of the area too. There’s no way you can montage your showerhead on the wall so you can only shower with one hand. There’s only one blackout curtain on the door, so when you change during the day you have to completely close the curtains and switch on the lights. The room is definitely on the smaller side if you’re three people.

We overall enjoyed our stay :) To finish it off, I attached some pictures of the local animals, especially the nutria at the pond. They are beaver-like animals and NOT RATS!! Everything about them looks like a beaver except for the long tail, which is why people seem to mistake them for rats, which they are not. Also very scared of humans and they are herbivores, so they will not bite you but rather run away when you...
