| - Exactly a year after my last stay, my boyfriend and I spoiled ourselves to another early Christmas treat. This time we spent 3 nights on the Evolution side of the resort which is marketed as more family friendly due to the extra queen murphy bed and closed bathroom. (All bathrooms on the other side of the hotel have a sliding door near the bath so it opens to your bedroom for a romantic soak).
We stayed in room 1204 which is on the ground floor facing the front of the hotel (not the lake) and also had our private hot tub. As with both hotels sides, many of the ground floor rooms come with private spas so I strongly recommend this option if you want the privacy and freedom of using it whenever you please. This time we did try the exterior spas as well and loved the experience. I didn't realise that there are little gas fireplaces in the middle of each spa so it's a great sight at night.
The rooms on the Evolution side are beautiful, decorated in tones of turquoise and grey, they look a little more modern compared to the Emotion side which has a lot of orange and fall foliage colors.
Although we did not have the option of a panoramic suite as per our last visit, all rooms are very spacious at around 600sqt. I will tell you though that the panoramic windows do make a huge difference in terms of bringing in light as you are surrounded in 3 walls of floor to ceiling glass. We stayed in our rooms alot and I'm someone who loves to read so I was missing the natural sunlight and found that I had to turn on the lamps even during the day. The balconies above us also block a little of the light, so that may be something to consider if you love bright open spaces- try a corner panoramic room instead.
Our mini kitchenette did not have a stove top compared to our panoramic suite, I was not aware of this as I was planning on cooking. You do still however have a toaster oven, microwave, electric kettle, mini fridge and sink. We weren't huge fans of the food at the restaurants, so it's great advantage to be able to eat in your room.
The bed was very comfortable, just the right amount of firmness and plushness, the bathroom is super spacious and housecleaning did a great job of stopping by everyday to replenish our towels and supplies. Unlike my previous stay, I did not have any issues with the sink or toilet blockage and everything looked very well maintained.
I feel confident saying that no matter which room you choose it'll be well worth it, I can see myself coming to Esterel every year, it's just like having your own luxurious cottage away from home up north.
There are many winter packages and promotions during this time of year, it's the perfect gift and sure to please yourself or your loved ones. Come on the weekdays if you can, cheaper and much quieter. You will have all the facilities to yourself.
