We stayed for one week in August 2003 at the Petit Palais and had a lovely room (Queen bed) with terrace overlooking the old town and with a view of the sea. It was lovely & peaceful sitting out on the terrace and we often had our meals out there. I agree about the shower hose though and my husband was pleased to get back to a proper shower again.
The hotel staff were very friendly and the breakfast buffet was one of the best we have experienced in France. We would definitely stay there again.

This is a nice hotel, the reception area staff all speak English well. The rooms are very small by US standards, not so by French standards. The area is very quiet, the walk to the beach is about 15 -20 minutes down a very big hill. Getting back is the hard part. The bathroom does not have a shower, but a full bathtub and a hose that won't quite reach your head if you're a tall guy like me.
