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.

MERIEM

Liked: Cleanliness
The hotel was overall okay despite several disappointing issues. The check-in process was extremely long — nearly 25 minutes of waiting, which is hardly acceptable after a trip. During a heatwave, the air conditioning in the room did not work on the first night, making the room extremely hot and difficult to tolerate. The most disappointing part, however, was the reception service. When I asked for a late check-out, the young receptionists unfortunately refused without making any real effort to find a solution. In addition, a second receptionist who was still in training joined the discussion simply to repeat the hotel policy, without any real listening or willingness to help. This attitude made the interaction even more unpleasant. Fortunately, later that evening I spoke with another receptionist who was far more professional and managed to find a solution. The following day, the head of reception was also professional and helpful. This is unfortunate because in a hotel of this category, one expects genuine customer service and a professional welcome.

Lucie

Disliked: Amenities
Très déçue par mon séjour. J’avais réservé une chambre avec vue mer, telle qu’elle était présentée sur les photos de l’annonce. À mon arrivée, je me suis retrouvée avec une chambre qui ne correspondait pas du tout à celle réservée : mobilier très vieillissant, salle de bain datée alors que les photos montraient une chambre bien plus moderne, et aucune baignoire contrairement à ce qui était annoncé. Concernant la vue, il ne s’agissait pas d’une véritable vue mer mais simplement d’un aperçu mer, ce qui est très différent de ce qui était vendu lors de la réservation. J’ai signalé ces problèmes à la réception, mais aucune solution satisfaisante ne m’a été proposée, alors même que j’ai payé le tarif plein. À cela s’ajoute la présence de mouches dans la chambre, ce qui n’est pas acceptable pour un établissement de cette catégorie. Pour le prix demandé, je trouve le rapport qualité-prix extrêmement mauvais. Je regrette sincèrement ce séjour et je ne recommanderai pas cet hôtel.
