Reviews of Domaine du Mas De Pierre 5 stars

Food was lovely, staff wonderful, gardens very pretty and we enjoyed the entertainment. We had a beautiful and very well appointed suite which completely suited all of our needs.

We loved our room with private garden terrace. I enjoyed relaxing by their three pools and the staff was very friendly and eager/confident in speaking to us in English. The bed was very comfortable and the room was super clean and tended to. The staff was very attentive to all of our needs and very helpful in answering our questions and providing services.

The food and drinks were overpriced in my opinion. It seemed like everything was $10 more than it should have been ($20+ for a beer or $30+ for a cocktail, $40 burger etc....) and made us want to leave the property to find more affordable food options when we would have preferred to stay on the property as much as possible.

Very peaceful and relaxing environment. Multiple swimming pools for all ages, beautiful gardens, very nice apartment-style rooms with privacy balcony, superb breakfast buffet.

The rooms were excellent, Breakfast Buffet was one of the best we have encountered at a time when so many luxury hotels are moving away from buffet breakfasts. While we did not use the pool, it was excellent with lots of room for sunbathing and even little partial tents to retire to. The Pacific Island Lagoon pool, surrounded by sun bathing spots and umbrellas even some sandy beach sand was superb. It even had a connected wading pool for children. We did find a problem with a worn out mattress that sagged and was soft, too soft for folks with bad backs. But the staff immediately (the next day since they were fully booked) put us in a different room that was fabulous and had brand new firm mattresses. They could not have done more and were marvelously friendly and helpful. One not: this is a difficult place to find for those without GPS skills since the commune does not let the hotels post those little arrows at round abouts to help you find the hotel, so not their fault. But brush up on your GPS mapping skills before you try to find the hotel. The little country road leading to the hotel is off on the right from a roundabout if you are coming from the Autoroute. There is a tiny street sign hidden up by some trees for Route de Serres so just keep going around the roundabout and ignore angry shouts from other motorists. But once at the hotel, which is on your left as you mount the little country road with lots of narrow bits so be careful if you are driving a Rolls, you have to drive up to the gates and press a button that is to the left of the driveway to get reception to either open the gates or raise the barrier.

The food was an issue for us. The Bistro was OK but don't expect a Salade Nicoise to be what you expect. Frankly neither was Ceasar Salade what I expected since a lot of ingredients you had to cut and tear apart yourself and then you had to toss it yourself. While not entirely a "do it yourself" salade it was close. But their lamb for two was superb. They are very flexible if you need to make changes to the selections based on diet and health concerns. However their two starred chef menu in the main restaurant we found atrocious. We have reviewed many restaurants over our years as food and travel writers and this was some of the worst tasting food we have ever encountered in a fine restaurant. The presentation was immaculate. The executing likewise. But the taste combinations we only ate because it was the end of the day and we were starving. And it should be called a "tasting menu" since the sizes averaged just 4 bites each. Very trala but urgh! The lack of volume is made up for with many courses and in between courses. So just be warned. Go over the menu very carefully with the maitre 'd before you commit. Others, of course, may completely disagree with us. It is a very child friendly establishment and they make efforts to accommodate your children. It is also very dog friendly as well.
