Le palais des roses sur Lunel

11/07/2026: We went for a lunch at the restaurant only, so I can only comment on the food. We were walk-ins. The service was a little slow but adequate. The staff were friendly enough. Thw appetisers were lovely. Very tasty. Things were off to a good start. My husband had the menu of the day which was chicken skewers (which he said lacked salt) and a starter and cheesecake for dessert. He said overall it was nice. I only had a mixed plate of 4 different pieces of fish: one prawn, one cuttlefish, a flat white fish (can't remember the name) and salmon. The salmon was dreadfully undercooked, and so I asked for it to be cooked some more.. The waiter wholeheartedly agreed and apologised. It however returned and was not cooked much more. I said this to the waiter who said that is the way they cook it, to this point. It would then be useful to ask customers how they like their salmon cooked on ordering because I prefer it cooked through but not burned on the outside. I didn't end up eating the salmon, and only half the cuttlefish which was rubbery and lacked any flavour. Anyway, the fish platter was an overall disappointment and the fish in itself didn't have the freshest of tastes if I compare it to other places we've eaten at by the sea. They took the price of the coffee off the bill as a gesture and on driving away we realised they forgot to charge us for the side of chips we ordered (these were nice, large portion). But we decided this would also compensate for paying €35 for a fish platter that wasn't worth it at all and I only ate half of. The other veggies on the plate were nice, grilled courgette and a tomatoe with alioli.. I wish had ordered the lamb, I think it would have been much better. I just made a bad choice. We wouldn't return.

06/07/2026: We stayed there for a weekend for a family reunion. The food was exceptional! Everything was delicious and expertly prepared. The service was top-notch, with great adaptability and patience! The accommodation was very good! Clean room, comfortable bed. The pool is lovely, as is the location. The free, covered private parking is a real plus. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. This establishment deserves a 4-star rating; I think it wouldn't take much to achieve it.
