The Art of Hospitality at Ilot du Golf: Where Every Guest Is Truly Unique

Some holidays are forgotten the day after you return home. Others become stories you'll still be telling years later.

Un hôtel, des histoires

At Best Western Premier Collection Ilot du Golf in Mandelieu-la-Napoule, it's the second kind of stay that inspires us.

Since opening our doors, we have embraced a boutique approach to hospitality, where every guest is welcomed not as a reservation number, but as an individual—with their own story, expectations and sometimes even the emotions that accompany a special moment in life.

It's an approach our guests notice from the very first moments of their stay.

And they're the ones who tell us so.

What Our Guests Remember Most

The reviews we receive on Tripadvisor (4.8/5 – Travellers' Choice 2025), Booking.com (9.0/10) and Expedia (9.6/10) all seem to share the same recurring words:

warm, thoughtful, attentive, friendly staff, the little touches that make all the difference.

"An outstanding stay! A warm welcome, attentive staff, an excellent restaurant... a true haven of peace!"

Tripadvisor ★★★★★

"From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and genuine care. The team made our stay truly memorable through their kindness and professionalism, including a thoughtful surprise for my partner's birthday. Special thanks to Valentin."

Tripadvisor ★★★★★

"The entire hotel team is warm, attentive and incredibly efficient. Congratulations to everyone!"

Tripadvisor ★★★★★

"Very refreshing to once find a hotel that is not managed as a financial asset, but where hospitality is still an art and the people that work there take pride in providing a good experience."

Tripadvisor ★★★★★

"The room, the facilities, the swimming pool, but above all the impeccable welcome—from reception to the bar and restaurant. A wonderful experience. It was our first stay, but certainly not our last!"

Booking.com ★★★★★

These comments are no coincidence.

They reflect a philosophy that every member of our team embraces each and every day.

The Art of the Little Details

For us, creating a memorable stay begins long before our guests arrive.

It starts by reading the notes attached to a reservation, remembering that one of our loyal guests is celebrating a birthday, or anticipating that a family is visiting to mark a very special occasion.

A beautifully decorated room, a handwritten welcome note slipped under the door, New Year's macarons waiting on arrival, or a bottle of champagne prepared for a couple... these aren't part of a standard operating manual.

They're simply genuine gestures from a team that loves what they do and takes the time to get to know the people they welcome.

"A huge thank you for the thoughtful surprise waiting in our room—two delicious macarons and a handwritten New Year's greeting. It's these little details that make all the difference."
Guest Review – New Year's Eve

"As soon as we arrived at Ilot du Golf, we felt incredibly welcome. I had arranged a little surprise for my boyfriend's 30th birthday, and the staff were wonderfully kind and helpful in making it happen."

Arthur's Christening :A Moment We'll Never Forget

Among all the special moments we've had the privilege of sharing with our guests, one in particular perfectly captures what we strive to create every single day.

One of our loyal guests, whom we have been delighted to welcome for many years, returned to Ilot du Golf with her grandson Arthur, who had recently been christened.

For her, for Arthur and for the entire family, we wanted this stay to be every bit as memorable as the occasion itself.

Our team carefully prepared the room, adding thoughtful decorations and paying attention to every detail to ensure their arrival would be filled with surprise and emotion.

There was nothing extravagant about it—just a sincere gesture from people who understand that some moments in life deserve to be celebrated.

Arthur's christening has since become what we affectionately call our "Best Moment." Quite literally.

Winner of Best Western's Best Moment Challenge 2025

It was precisely this story—and the many others like it that unfold every day at Ilot du Golf—that earned us First Prize in Best Western's Best Moment Challenge 2025.

Organised each year by Best Western International, this internal competition recognises hotels that go above and beyond in creating exceptional moments and meaningful experiences for their guests.

Hundreds of hotels from across the network take part each year.

Being awarded First Place was an incredible honour and, above all, a wonderful recognition that our approach to hospitality truly makes a difference.

The 2025 podium was completed by Eden Rose Grand Hôtel, awarded second place, and Hôtel de la Cité Royale, which finished third.

We warmly congratulate our fellow winners, who share our belief that hospitality is, above all, about people.

An Award That Reflects Our Long-Term Commitment

Receiving this award in 2025 was not an isolated achievement. It is part of a long-standing commitment built around the values of La Tour Collection: excellence, genuine human connection and a firm belief that hospitality should always remain personal.

For us, true luxury is not measured solely by the number of stars a hotel holds.

It is measured by the quality of the relationships we build, the memories we create and the care we show every guest who walks through our doors.

This distinction simply confirms what has always guided us : exceptional hospitality begins with exceptional people.

Thank You to Our Team

To every member of our team—whether at reception, in the restaurant, in the kitchen or behind the scenes — thank you.

Thank you for the passion, kindness and professionalism you bring every single day.

You are the reason Ilot du Golf has become a place where guests love to arrive... and often find difficult to leave.

Our guests probably express it better than we ever could :

"This was our fifth stay, and once again we enjoyed a wonderful week. The staff truly go above and beyond to take care of every guest."
Tripadvisor ★★★★★

"Our favourite address on the French Riviera. Wonderful staff, a beautiful setting and impeccable service."
