Really liked this place which offered a restaurant on premises, right across the street you got the fair, lots of restaurants and live entertainment at night and the most important thing the beach right outside your door. Also, the fair is nearby

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. :)

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.

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 .

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.

Bra men behöver uppdatering....

Mysigt hotel vid havet med super trevlig personal men... hotellet behöver en uppfräschning. Lite målarfärg och nya mattor så skulle hotellet ge en helt annan känsla. Mer som ett bra 3 stjärnigt. Också, att inte ha duschdraperi på ett sk 4 stjärnigt hotel där man tvättar både sig själv och hela badrummet samtidigt är inte helt OK.

Pas à la hauteur d’un 4 étoiles

L’hôtel est bien placé en bord de plage, mais il est vieillissant. Nous n’avons pas eu de wi-fi dans la chambre et l’hôtel n’a pas non plus de parking. Nous sommes obligés de payer plus de 20 € pour laisser la voiture la journée.
