Staying on the Isle des Embiez was fabulous. The hotel staff were very nice and helpful and the hotel room was very clean and comfortable.
The island is beautiful and a wonderful place to explore in the daytime, with small beaches to find.
In the evenings we had wonderful food at Sarti, followed by the magical DJ at Sunset evening and the live band the next night.
This is a wonderful hotel on an amazing little island. Our booking had a check in time of 5pm, but we arrived at 12 to drop our baggage in the luggage store to find the room was ready. We had a harbour-facing room with an amazing view of the island. The room was spacious, but best of all was a large terrace/balcony with loungers which was like another room. We did not eat at the hotel, so cannot comment, although we saw others having what looked like a very substantial cooked breakfast. Some themed meal nights.
Our room overlooked the outside dining area but did not feel exposed. We didn't use the indoor pool because beaches were so close.
Hotel is a short walk from the ferry arrival point, but it is a perfectly nice walk because there are few cars. The lower path involves some steps.
The price of the stay includes the cost of the return ferry crossing: details emailed a few days before visit. The booking form provides for a crossing from Le Brusc but we asked to travel from Sanary and this was accommodated. (Cars can only cross from Le Brusc however).
The island is delightful. It takes about an hour to walk around it. Lots of photogenic beaches (but some via rocky slopes). A few restaurants, all-day baker, a nice bar often with music staged, and a well-stocked shop that is not as expensive or unwelcoming as some reviews suggest. Lots of toilets around the island (good for oldies like us).
Our new favourite place; magical.

La chambre etait tres bien, le restaurant a recommander. Belle piscine, dommage l'eau un peu froide et pas de jacuzzi, le hamman en supplement, dabs certains hotels ces prestation sont incluses
Petit déjeuné très complet et varié. Hôtel avec vue mer et port. Chambre simple mais complet. Piscine chauffée en sous sol avec vue extérieure. Les billets ar du bateau sont compris. Accueil et service du personnel parfait. Dîner 35€ entrée plat dessert de qualité.

Hôtel daté, qui ressemble davantage à un EHPAD qu’à un hôtel. L’ile est tout aussi glauque.
3eme sejour a l Helios 😍 Hotel toujours au Top, les chambres sont impeccables et la vue incroyable ! Le personnel de l accueil aux petits soins....A recommander !
Un endroit féérique avant tout lié à une île incroyable.
L’hôtel est bien, la situation fantastique car il surplombe majestueusement le port et toute l’île; la terrasse du petit-déjeuner qui devient un restaurant le soir est géniale; le ménage est parfait avec de superbes attentions pour notre fils (rangement de doudous fait avec amour et humour…); les soins du spa sont de très belle qualité ✨ Le massage mère fils avec les deux masseuses a été une belle expérience, idem pour le papa avec Eva (je crois).
La majorité du personnel est agréable et de bonne volonté.
Avec quelques défauts toutefois, l’ascenseur est sous dimensionné et non aéré; le nettoyage des tables du petit déjeuner est parfois laborieux, nous avons dû nous résigner quelquefois à manger sur des tables non dressées; un jour il m’a été impossible d’acheter une bouteille d’eau faute de personnel au bar en fin de matinée (on m’a proposé d’aller au Casino et de faire 15 min de marche aller sous 35 degrés… moyen quand on fait une réservation de plus de 10 jours avec le ticket associé €..).
Enfin la présence d’un freezer dans le mini bar aurait nettement amélioré notre séjour (cela paraît futile mais lorsqu’on crapahute tout les jours une bouteille ou un pain de glace sont indispensables).
Ces défauts soulignés, nous n’hésiterons toutefois pas à revenir pour un prochain séjour en France; difficile de trouver mieux…
Une expérience inoubliable ! Un accueil et un service de qualité ! Vue sur la mer ! Parfait pour les enfants ! Une île inoubliable, un hôtel inoubliable... De beaux souvenirs !
C’était très bien, cependant je suis un peu déçue car je voulais une chambre face au large et j’ai eu une chambre face au port, j’ai pourtant insisté. Sinon rien à redire.
Chambre avec terrasse vue sur le port. Vue très sympa, calme.
Tout le charme et le calme d'une petite île, les gens sont courtois.
Bon accueil au sein de l'hôtel, personnel disponible et aimable.
Un hôtel avec une vue sublime.
Il manque quelques détails pour avoir une bonne notation de 4 étoiles comme certains détails comme de belles serviettes, des pantoufles et les kits hygiène.
Ile calme et tres propre.
Excellent acceuil des equipes hôtelières
Fin avril debut mai quasiment rien d ouvert hormis la boulangerie, un restaurant et le casino (ferme le lundi).....
Hôtel correct,
Point positif : vue mer , être sur l'île, très propre.....
mais un "petit 4 étoilés " car accueil peu serviable.... ils avaient oublié de préparer les clefs de notre chambre et nous ont fait attendre 30 min a l accueil sans explications alors que nous etions les 1er.... on a été servis en dernier comme si tout etait normal.... peu aimable a l'accueil. Petit déjeuner complet mais produits de moyenne qualité !
Nous avions une chambre côté ouest sans balcon, vue sur mer, à l’opposé du port de plaisance. Une petite nuisance sonore par le resto de l’hôtel par leur dépôt de verre dans un contenaire vers les 23 H.
Grand lit de 2 mètres de large, grande chambre, ménage chaque jours parfait, petit dej copieux et varié.
Personnel souriant, serviable et disponible. Parfait
Déçue par les prestations restaurant et bar, aucune organisation, on a beaucoup attendu, le responsable du restaurant trés désagréable, il vous croise sans même vous dire bonjour!! On ne sent pas client!!!
Sejour fantastique et trop court
Attention avant de réserver il faut savoir que le seul moyen d accès est en bateau.
Une navette toute les heures pour vous y rendre et rentrer ( un aller retour inclus dans le prix)
Départ du port du Brusc à six four les plages pour une traversée de moins de 10 minutes pour arriver à l ‘île des Embiez . Nous nous sommes garés au parking de la Gardiole, gratuit , avec juste un peu de marche jusqu’à L’embarcadere mais sans plus . L’hôtel était très calme , la literie très confortable et le petit déjeuner à 19 euros très complet (sucré , salé ). Le personnel de l’hôtel est disponible et à l’ecoute de nos demandes . Nous avons pu récupérer notre chambre à notre arrivée à 15h30 au lieu de 17 h car elle était prête ce qui nous a bien rendu service . A savoir que l’hôtel doit vous envoyer la veille vos billets pour la traversée qui sont compris quand vous réservez chez eux . Le restaurant le Sarti face au port ne nous a pas convaincu mais pas trop le choix d’un restaurant . L’ile est très jolie, nous avons fait le tour à pied avec arrêt baignade dans une des nombreuses criques . Vous pouvez aussi louer un vélo il y a ce qu’il faut sur l’ile ou prendre aussi le petit train . Il y a des départs de bateaux environ toutes les 40 minutes en cette période .
