Amazing time enjoying Cote d Azur ;)
This was the perfect location to enjoy a catamaran tour of the area. Literally 1 min walk to dock! Great restaurant & fun to walk the beach due to fun vendors. The water & sand were beautiful! Would stay again in the future. :)

We enjoyed our stay and the reception staff were very friendly and helpful . Our room was clean and comfortable, although quite hot as, even on the lowest temperature and with fan on cool setting it was still too warm.However it is beautifully situated and we enjoyed sitting outside un thé brasserie with a drink .

What a great location! The staff was super friendly, helpful and above and beyond. We loved this place.
We stayed two nights in four rooms. Most of our rooms did not have a shower. Just a wand attached to the bathtub to spray off. It was hard to wash off sand.

Definitely not a 4 star hotel. The AC barely worked and the hotel was very old and in bad shape.

Dowager still satisfies.
Dependable hotel that nonetheless is showing its age. No on site parking. Convenient pay parking nearby. Did not patronize restaurant this stay as experience during previous stay was not acceptable. Helpful front of house and cleaning staff.

Propert only has bath tubs. No shower, no shower curtain. Whole bathroom becomes wet when you take shower.

Rummen rena och fräscha. Tyvärr något varmt under natten.. Mycket trevlig personal. Bra frukost.
Tyvärr kunde man inte köpa något snacks efter att köket stängde 21.30. Vilket drog ner det lite.
Annars är vi mycket nöjda

Tietyöt veivät maun koko paikasta.
Erittäin vaikeasti löydettävissä ollut hotelli, tietöiden takia.
Matkalaukut piti hinata itse pitkän matkan päästä sisään.
Aamupalalla ollut tarjoilija oli vähän liian hermostunut. Ei tullut hyvä tai levollinen mieli.
