Is the Golden Tulip Hotel worth it? Our review

We are very satisfied with our stay at the hotel. It’s in a great location, close to all the interesting sights of Porto-Vecchio. We found the room spacious and comfortable. Special mention for the balcony, which offered an incredible view of the bay.

Decoration and atmosphere

Within the hotel, we found the atmosphere warm and relaxing. The communal area behind reception featured comfortable sofas. We really appreciated the various facilities available to customers in this room:

  • table soccer,
  • television,
  • books,
  • board games.
Hotel common room

The decor featured soft colors and natural materials. Comfortably seated on sofas, we laughed as we discovered stuffed animals. The mix of wood, straw and plants created a pleasant, bohemian atmosphere. We found the brightness on the first floor incredibly beautiful. What do you think of the play of light on this magnificent vase?

Hotel decoration

The outdoor area also features a terrace, a garden and a large heated swimming pool. All the facilities and services offered at the hotel are designed to make your stay pleasant and comfortable.

The room

Our room had a cocooning atmosphere. The natural decor and neutral colors created a soothing atmosphere. The various wooden pieces in the room added a touch of warmth and authenticity. The office area was particularly pretty, but we preferred to work on the balcony! We really liked the uncluttered decor, which blended well with the Corsican landscape visible from the bay window.

Hotel room

We found the king-size bed particularly comfortable. Ideal for optimal rest! The large windows offered magnificent views of the bay and surrounding mountains, and let in soft natural light. From the balcony, the view of the Mediterranean Sea and the hotel’s outdoor pool was even more impressive. We also recommend enjoying a magnificent sunset from this privileged spot. At night, the view is equally stunning. We could see the lights of the boats reflected in the water.

The bathroom

In our room, the bathroom was equipped with a spacious, modern shower. The decor in this room was cooler, with gray tiles. We found the shower large and comfortable. The wide knob spread the water flow more evenly. The toilet was separate from the bathroom.

The breakfast

The hotel offers a continental buffet breakfast. It offers local products such as Corsican cheeses and charcuterie, as well as canistrellis. We took advantage of the restaurant’s dining room, but you can also eat on your private balcony with room service.

Hotel breakfast

There was a varied choice of sweet and savoury products: pastries, eggs, pancakes, bread, brioche, cakes, fruit and more. We found the breakfast rather classic but effective. We had tea and a glass of fruit juice with the meal.

Hotel coffee machine

For caffeine lovers, the hotel also has a coffee machine. We had breakfast indoors, but you can also enjoy it on the outdoor terrace. We wanted to make the most of the brightness of the restaurant’s dining room.

Equipment and common areas

We loved the large heated outdoor pool. It’s ideal for swimming laps and clearing your head. We found the deckchairs and sofas on the pool terrace comfortable.

Hotel swimming pool

What’s more, the surrounding landscape is very beautiful and natural. Around the pool, you can take a stroll in the on-site garden. There are several areas with pleasant outdoor furniture to sit back and enjoy this unique setting.

Hotel swimming pool

If you’re looking to relax and unwind, we recommend you try the sauna. We found it very clean. There’s no better way to relax after a day of sightseeing. Are you tempted?

The hotel also offers guests a fitness room overlooking the garden and swimming pool. We didn’t have time to test out the treadmill, but it’s pretty tempting with this landscape!

Do not make
THE SAME MISTAKE WE MADE

On one of our last trips to Europe, a hacker stole our credit card details while we were using a hotel WiFi.
So our trip began with a “card blocked” call… Not funny at all!

The restoration

A lounge bar is open daily until 10:30pm. Once you’ve ordered your drink, you can sit out on the outdoor terrace and enjoy the hotel’s unique setting.

Outdoor terrace

The hotel’s restaurant serves varied, tasty cuisine, with Mediterranean dishes based on local specialties. The room is attractively decorated, with blue and brown tones reminiscent of the sea. Decorative elements in wood and natural materials create a friendly atmosphere.

How to get there

To get to Corsica, you have 2 options: plane or ferry. If you choose the ferry option to get to Corse-du-Sud, you can arrive in Ajaccio. It’s a 2h30 drive to Porto-Vecchio.
