Sofitel Golfe d'Ajaccio Thalassa Sea & Spa

A beautiful seafront resort. We had a spectacular view. The pool area and multiple places on the seafront for sunning were excellent. Offers beautiful sunset views.

Was too far to the town. There is a ferry across to Ajaccio but about a 30 min walk. The rooms were dated and need updating, and our shower had mildew. The restaurant was inflexible when we asked for certain items at certain times. Eg. could only get a Ceaser salad in the room on the room service menu, not in the dining room. During our 4 days, there were no meal specials and the same menu, even with its cache of being run by a famous chef. And the food was pretty average. Pool service staff mostly ignored us but seemed to focus their attention on other guests.

The private beach ans the garden

The reception and the building

Location was perfect, the hotel is surrounded by the sea. Great point to observe the sunset. The hotel service team is very professional and friendly. There is a good breakfast, fresh food, lunch and dinner is also good. Private plage area is small, but not overloaded. Hotel is providing masks for swimming. The first festive dinner was very nice with the live music and delicious Italian food.

SPA was about to close, only one type of massage was available, the hotel building and rooms need a proper renovation, the glasses in the hotel lobby weren't clean enough. The prices are comparatively high.

The location was wonderful, the room was adequate but would have preferred a larger balcony. The shower was only over the bath, but I understand the whole hotel is being refurbished at the end of October. The pool area was lovely, although we didn’t use the pool

We appreciate that this is a 5 star hotel, but 42 euro for breakfast was not value for money and neither were the evening meals.
