When I think of Best Western, I tend to categorize it as a mediocre hotel. Semi-clean, probably…read morelast updated in the 80's, carpet that is well.. meh. Don't judge me. I love a good hotel and I aim to be impressed! This will be my second BW stay in 2016 where I am thoroughly blown away. As a last minute decision my husband and I decided to stay overnight in Bonifacio. For 1 night only. We searched for the cheapest rate possible on booking.com on our phone, then immediately booked a room at the Best Western Hôtel du Roy D'Aragon. Not only is the hotel on the waterfront, it is the very first hotel on the south facing side of the port. For the price which I believe was €106 I was shocked at how fabulous it was. Looking across the water I kept saying to myself, this is the lowest rate on the block?! All of the other places didn't even seem to be in the same category of class as the Hôtel du Roy D'Aragon. When we checked in, the receptionist said that she did her best to upgrade us to a nicer room. She didn't even know that we were honeymooning. Initially our room was facing the garden. The new room would be facing the water. Cool. I wasn't expecting much. It is always when you expect the least when you are rewarded most handsomely. Remember that folks! Our room was the BEST in the entire hotel. Top floor, corner room, with a view of the Port of Bonifacio and the Citadel. Now that's how a honeymoon is done!!! The 2 sets of french doors in our room opened to a raised balcony, equipped with a petite table and 2 chairs. Pick which restaurant you'd like to dine at for dinner from above while watching the sun set with a glass of wine. Heck, we're in France.. a glass of Champagne! This hotel has all of the modern amenities you could ask for. Free wifi is available in every room. Our room had a shower so large I soaked in it as if it were a bathtub. The double-head shower and clear glass doors made me think I was in some uber-lux hotel that you only see in the movies. Breakfast can be had on the waterside patio, or in your room if you so please. Parking is provided with each room and is just walking distance from the hotel. The service here is excellent! Not only did the receptionist go above and beyond for our room upgrade but the concierge was very kind when we couldn't figure out how to enter the hotel after hours. Silly Americans. It's the other door! If I return to Bonifacio, I would only stay here.

Beautiful located hotel in the middle of nowhere. On the positive side…read more-service minded staff on the beach that serves you whatever you wish from a menu. - free canoes, sun bed and water bikes at the beach - beautiful rooms (although shower was dated) -nice and clean housekeeping - good breakfast (30eur pp) - free snacks to the cocktails (16eur) - 3 small deserts to the coffe (8eur) - toilets close to the first beach -the somilier and his wine suggestions - stunning surrounding and 2 nice beaches That being said this, it is not a place we would return to. We love food and were willing to pay for it as long as it's good. Sadly the food here is in general quite boring and expensive, during our stay we had lunch here once and dinner twice. The first evening we had "the culinary journey" it was supposed to be something extra according to the hotels description. We found the food served mediocre although the fish we had for main was well prepared and the wine served together with the dinner was good. The lunch was not worth the price, dinner the second day was probably best and we can recommend you to try the slow cooked veal and the chocolate fondant. In average the price level is quite high 4eur for a small water, 24eur for a boring pasta during lunch and Kellogg's k special for 6 eur in the mini bar. It gives you the impression your being ripped off and indeed you are... So why did we still choose to eat here, well the place is in the middle of nowhere, in order to get here you drive 6km along a narrow road and thereafter you need to drive around 10 min to bonifacio (beautiful city), it's simply to much of a hassle to leave. Further the wifi is unreliable and the hairdryer is really bad.

This hotel is just magical. It's very secluded and has the most amazing views of the beach, great…read morerestaurants, pool, and there is a private beach right on the sand for guests. Next time I come back to Corsica, I will definitely stay here. It's a bit pricey but totally worth it because there is no reason to run around because you have everything you could possibly want in a vacation right there.
