Hotel overview

Situated on the edge of the scenic bay of Anse de Renécros, Hôtel Plein Large offers a breezy seaside atmosphere marked by colorful, air-conditioned rooms equipped with free Wi-Fi. This 3-star hotel features a private beach where guests can unwind with sunbeds and enjoy direct access to calm waters framed by a wooden pier.

Visitors seeking a tranquil base will appreciate its proximity to local attractions such as the Office de Tourisme de Bandol and Casino de Bandol, both within easy walking distance. The on-site restaurant serves regional and Mediterranean dishes with a relaxed ambiance, complemented by a bar overlooking the beach—an ideal spot for watching sunsets.

Though rooms are modest in size, they are thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience. The family-run nature of the hotel shines through attentive service and a welcoming environment suitable for couples, solo travelers, and families alike. Pet-friendly policies add flexibility for those traveling with companions.

While there’s no pool or fitness center, the allure of the natural surroundings and beach access fill the gap. Parking is available on-site free of charge, making it easy for guests arriving by car.

“Amazing location on the tip of a beautiful, almost circular sandy beach. We went to sleep with the waves just outside the bedroom terrace. Run by the same family for many years, very thoughtfully done, with lovely attentive service. Simple but stylish. Watching the sun go down from the bar on the beach was so memorable. They even had home made gluten free bread (I’m coeliac). We’ll certainly be back.”

“Amazing place to be, the location is fanastic. The rooms are small but modern furnitured, the view from the room is fantastic. I would have appreaciated a closet. The perfect spot for vacation. Also the restaurant has great food. In my personal experience there is only one thing to improve: the organization could be better. The left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing. On the reception you receive the message that the restaurant will be closed in the evening and it is open - such tiny things but nothing what really bothers. As mentioned we loved the location and it is in walking distance to the train station for trips to Marseille and Toulon. We enjoyed our stay.”

“It's a bijoux!! Some of the nicest hotel I've ever been. We had a nice room with a terrace next to the sea. The view is amazing! The room is small but well organized and lots of storage space. The window has electronic shutters. The bathroom is also good and clean. Good shower. Further the staff is very friendly and obliging. In addition the hotel includes a very good restaurant with a nice view and a beach bar with sunbeds. Book a room at this hotel and you will definitely not regret!”
