Disappointed! It didn’t start well! No message with the code to get onto the harbour, then given an incorrect code, which took a member of staff to come and test it and then had to ask a bus driver for it. Then to find a couple who had the correct code, were checking in just in front of us - how did they get the right code?! Check in was ok, although we were left hanging around and not told our room was ready.
Bar and restaurant service not the best! Left waiting at the bar - not even acknowledged for about 10 mins while other orders made and tidying up done. Breakfast - oh dear! Initial waiter, took the order by memory and got it wrong. Then when we asked another waiter for the missing pastry, told the pastry ordered had run out, so ordered a pain au chocolate. Then told had run out of croissants and we could have chocolate bread - erm that’s what we asked for; for the waiter to then turn up with a croissant in his hand and to announce he’d found one! Other guests told us they had had problems too.
Check out - ok until the hotel tried to charge us for a dinner we hadn’t had - we only had one breakfast. It was removed from our bill.
On the positive the hotel is as lovely as ever and the valet service was very good. If you are 5 star Hotel, the service seriously needs sorting out and quickly!

Great staff. Beautiful building. Great food.
Only one small thing to improve - should have given us the security code to lower a bollard and enable us to drive down the road to the hotel.

A lovely hotel. We stayed 4 nights in Jul/Aug 2020. The staff were superb (especially helpful with restaurant reservations) the hotel was very clean and the location could not be better.

One small negative - we had 2 garden view rooms between the 4 of us. Our daughters shared a room which has a fantastic shower - good pressure and coverage. Our room had an old-fashioned shower attached to the bath - low pressure and not as good. But this is a very small point - we recommend the hotel and will go back next year.

One other point about the hotel. The website shows a swimming pool. It makes it clear that this is in a sister hotel. The sister hotel is only about 5 minutes walk away but bear in mind that the pool is not a big pool and there are only a few sun loungers.

A few tips from our experience:
- The hotel restaurant is reputed to be the best in town but we didn't try it because it is in a tiny courtyard with no view or atmosphere. There are lots of excellent restaurants in town and we prefer a more lively atmosphere.
- For similar reasons we did not have breakfast in the hotel. You can get a lovely continental breakfast in one of the many cafes lining the harbour.
- Get yourselves some bicycles and ride over to the other coast. There are couple of beach bars at Beach Gollandieres which we enjoyed.
- There are no places on the beach where you can rent sun loungers or shades. If you want these then buy yourselves some umbrellas in one of the towns.

A fabulous week

This is a lovely hotel.Beautiful decor, impeccable service, very comfortable ad clean. No complaints at all. It is of course expensive but well worth it if you are up for a treat.
The location is excellent. St Martin in August is pretty busy on the quayside, and the hotel courtyard was a very peaceful retreat.
Very obliging with a lift to a different town and organising a cab for us.

Not to forget, there is a sister restaurant a few minutes walk away which has a lovely garden to sit in and a pool area. It was never noisy. Just a few couples and on or two families.

Beautiful hotel in a beautiful location. Service couldn't be better. The restaurant was fully booked that evening but Saint Martin is full of lovely restaurants so not a problem. A tiny minus point was that breakfast was disorganised and overpriced. Next time we stay we would breakfast elsewhere.

Good situation on harbour front

The staff were, in the main, young and very friendly and efficient. Our only complaint really was about the housekeeping: drinking glasses were not washed or replaced, the white floor mat in front of the washbasin was not changed for at least four days; nor was the tiled floor of the WC cleaned for the same length of time. Perhaps we were unlucky

We spent 3 nights at this lovely hotel, the staff were very attentive. We unloaded our car and then the car was parked for us., about £15 per night though.
The hotel is in a prime position, right by the pretty harbor, handy for restaurants and shopping. Everything is a bit pricey, but worth it for a special occasion

wonderful location

Disappointed that after 7 hrs driving the room wasn't ready on time (we arrived after 3pm) all we wanted was to have a shower and change into lighter-weight clothes (having left the ferry that morning).

The room was nice but as we had booked a premier suite we did expect a sitting room and bedroom, it was a special birthday treat for my husband. It had chairs in it but really it was a junior suite. Having said that, once we settled in we enjoyed our stay and they made our dog very welcome, we had intended that she sleep in the car as usual when travelling but as the car park was 1/2 mile away we took her into the room. We couldn't eat in the restaurant as we didnt know we had to book before we arrived but found a nice one on the marina.

The hotel is expertly appointed, but the staff are perhaps the best in the country. Ricarda especially was on hand to make our stay unforgettable. This is place to be if you want to be in Saint Martin, as its location is right in the middle of things. If you want to hire a bicycle or even a four-wheel runabout, the staff will sort you out.

Beautiful stylish hotel right on the harbor.

Hotel was beautiful, upgraded to a junior suite which was absolutely beautiful. The hotel team were marvellous and attended to every need. Food in the restaurant very good, price average for this quality of hotel and on a par with prices in France that some how have outstripped English prices for food and wine, how can wine be so expensive in France?

The island was beautiful and bicycle riding a must to appreciate just how lovely the place is. I loved everything about the hotel and the island, can't wait till I can return.

Five Star Rateing?

Great Staff -Good spot- Poor car parking/ bollard access to town?- No bar -No pool No air conditioning - And compared to .3 star hotels very poor and grossly over priced breakfast? We really struggled to find WHY it has 5 star rateing? - The cost was well out off proportion to amenities - in fact we felt \"ripped off\"We were away for 22 days and this was the worsed hotel and most expensive- Staff wonderful .

Amazing location, rooms disappointing

The location of the hotel absolutely outstanding and the service is perfect. I felt that the room was disappointing however. We had a tiny window in an alcove so it was very dark. Stains on the throws, lost toilet seat and handle, no soap in bathroom etc let it down a bit. These were individually small things but overall made the hotel a little disappointing when could easily have been amazing

Not 5 star

Why is this hotel a 5 star? No lift to our room which was located on the 2nd floor up two flights of steep stairs restaurant too expensive nothing special! Dirty stairs for 3 days Faulty shower terrible Internet connection absolutely no amenities
We decided to check out 2 days early despite us losing our money as we booked online and pre paid
The staff member (after speaking to the manager) was too concerned with re booking our room as soon as possible and wasn't interested as to why we were checking out early!
We often stay in 4 to 5 star hotels this doesn't qualify to be classed as 5 star more like 3 star at the most
Don't wate your money!!

Beautiful Hotel with Friendly Staff

We visited L'Hotel de Toiras for my wife's 30th birthday and were extremely impressed from start to finish. Our free upgrade to a suite overlooking the harbour was the icing on the cake. The staff were pleasant and helpful and the atmosphere relaxed and informal, in contrast to the opulent surroundings. We will definitely return to the hotel for our next special occasion. The only constructive criticism would be that our poached eggs at breakfast were slightly under cooked and the bacon was overlooked, although the member of staff quickly rectified this. We had dinner in the restaurant once and were very impressed with the meal and the service.

High Quality Hotel in the perfect position on Re

Hotel Toiras is perfectly situated in the centre of St Martin which is itself a focal point within Ile de Re. Every room is attractive and different and focuses on the history of the Island. Management and service is exemplary as befits this 5 star Hotel. Whereas prices are steep in the height of the season then rates are competitive and a visit is not to be missed especially at low season.
