Blue Margouillat Seaview Hotel-Relais & Chateaux

A very lovely place to stay in all regards. The building, pool and garden - all overlooking the coastline - have been beautifully designed. The rooms - with balconies and sea views - have also been designed with great care that make them a delight to be in. Tables on the patio and beside the pool are equally gorgeous. Very fine dining. Kind and attentive staff. Remarkable wine and cheese cellars. There is a great deal to enjoy staying here. Of course it is not cheap!

We stayed here for the first three nights of our honeymoon. Our travel agent told us the restaurant was the best on the island but we were blown away by the quality of the food. It is easily the best food we have ever eaten and probably will ever eat. The cheese cellar is really special and a must for cheese lovers. The whole hotel was beautiful and we enjoyed the amazing view from our room. The hotel were very helpful with our rental car and dropped us off to go and collect it. When we left, we were given a homemade olive oil and vinegarette which was a lovely touch. We hope to visit this special hotel again.

I am deeply disappointed with my experience at this hotel and feel compelled to write a negative review. When making a reservation, the hotel insisted on booking a double room for us, claiming that our 6-month-old daughter needed her own space. Obviously, our baby cannot sleep alone at such a young age. When I pointed this out to the hotel, they responded that they wanted to give us the most expensive room because they were concerned about the baby disturbing other guests in the other building. I find this attitude to be highly unsympathetic and lacking empathy. Additionally, the rooms they proposed were not advertised as "adult only" on any search websites or their own website. I regret not being able to stay there, but it is better to know these things in advance and be able to book elsewhere. I am truly ashamed that Relais & Chateaux includes a hotel with such an attitude. We usually stay at Bonvoy hotels where we are platinum members and have never encountered anything like this. In fact, we have always been treated kindly and accommodated for bringing our daughter, who is a calm and quiet child.

We stayed 3 nights, which we highly recommend as it allows one to experience the exceptional cuisine and wines on offer complemented by a warm hospitality in and idyllic relaxing setting made of a 360 degree view over the St Leu Village and whale infested ocean below with the most beautiful sunsets as a back drop. We didn't want to leave.

We stayed in this beautiful hotel for four nights to celebrate my husband's 70th birthday (two and a half years late due to Covid!). Our room on the first floor and private terrace were lovely, the views absolutely stunning, every member of staff was welcoming and efficient, and the food of an exceptionally high standard. Breakfast was served quickly each morning and there was a great choice. We treated ourselves to the elegant vegetarian tasting menu for our final evening - and it didn't disappoint. It's often hard to get really good vegetarian food in France/French inspired restaurants but this menu was creative, unusual and made for a memorable last night to our stay. Merci, Marc Chappot! And another heart-felt thank you to Frederic Kuhry with whom we enjoyed chatting, who gave us good advice about what to see in the area and in which order - and who even arranged a discreet little birthday surprise with the dessert on our final night!

We stayed at the Blue Margouillat for 5 nights, our room was beautiful with and indoor and outdoor shower and a lovely terrace and view over the sea. The food is excellent and the portions very generous. All the staff were friendly and always helpful. Could not fault it.
