Auberge Cavaliere du Pont Des Bannes in St. Maries-de-la-Mer

A few hiccups, but otherwise an amazing stay. A VERY UNUSUAL side of France most people outside of France don't know about. Abundant wildlife, Camargue white horses, Flamingos, and countless other species.
The hotel has a fancy Dude-Ranch charm to it. Along with stables, pools, a spa and many things to do. A treat.

Les Bains Gardians are a beautiful resort in the stunning Saintes-Marie-de-la-Mer. In the Camargue delta, Jean-Pierre Marois has created not just a hotel but a scene, an unfolding story where nature, art, wellness and enlightened hedonism converge around a unique arena, chic accommodations and two wonderful swimming pools.

Amazing experience! The hotel was in a beautiful location, immersed in the nature. There is a river flowing near the whole hotel. The food was really good, the service a bit slow but nothing dramatic. The rooms were really cozy and well cleaned.

I couldn't be happier after my holidays at Les Bains Gardians. First and foremost the place is magical. The Camargue country is just breathtaking and the sunsets are out of this world. Beach is 5 minutes away. You can feel a real authenticity, far from the show off competition you get in other parts of the south of France. Then the hotel itself is really nice, the rooms are super comfy, it's this kind of beds where you feel like you're sleeping on a cloud. Great ambiance with a top DJ (the infamous Arnaud Clemente from Ibiza) at the bar/restaurant but not too loud if you actually have something to say to your partner, and super kids friendly (my kids had the best time and they were able to commute by themselves in the whole traffic free domain, going from one pool to another etc). Then the staff: I had the misfortune of getting a flat tire a few miles before my arrival at night. Everything was closed, my insurance company didn't answer... Julien, the director of the hotel, came to fetch us, dropped us at the hotel, then came back, dealt with the tow truck, and the next day managed through his network to get a apparently very rare tire, and sent Thomas to fetch it. He just handed me the car completely fixed, I mean, I have never seen a service like that in France. They are all adorable and super friendly. Couldn't recommend more!

Beautiful cabanes which are very comfortable and well appointed. Some communal areas such as the swimming pools require a little maintenance. Overall good but lacking attention to detail expected at this price point.

Amazing accommodation ,service,and a fabulous restaurant . Relaxing,Chic,abundant wildlife and surrounded in nature. Such a beautiful place. Highly recommend.

Traditional stay in Camargue
Amazing stay in Camargue. Accommodation in traditional style in beautiful quiet surroundings. Clean, cool ( air conditioning welcomed with Heatwave). Situated in nature, surrounded by horses- Great swimming pool and restaurant.
We will go back- highly recommend for an ‘escape!

Our stay was postponed due to Covid, we asked for compensation but the management refused several times. While all our other bookings went smoothly. We did not find it elegant and above all not very commercial. In short! Nevertheless, our stay was very pleasant, the park is well maintained, the swimming pool is beautiful, the horses are magnificent, the bathroom and the room were very nice. The kettle was available. The breakfast is plentiful, at the moment due to Covid we have to help ourselves, which is not very practical, but not a choice given the context. Cons: The TV screen could be enlarged and the antenna adjusted because it is impossible to watch programs. And above all, it is important that each customer can find a free bottle of water upon arrival! Considering the cost of the rooms, this is the minimum. Despite everything, the place is great, the staff is always ready, it is a complete change of scenery. Do not hesitate to book.
