LikedThe property itself is charming and beautifully located, with a lovely atmosphere and stunning views over the Côte d’Azur. The garden and pool area are elegant and relaxing, and the overall setting has a classic Riviera feel.
DislikedUnfortunately, several details did not fully match the high price level of the hotel. The bed was slightly worn out and not particularly comfortable, and dinner at the Jasmine Restaurant was rather underwhelming.
Rooms not facing the sea can also be noisy due to the nearby train line and street traffic. In addition, early mornings were often disturbed by housekeeping activity, with cleaning carts frequently parked and moved directly next to the room.
During my stay, the atmosphere around the garden and bar area was also occasionally affected by very loud and visibly intoxicated guests, mainly groups of American tourists, which took away from the otherwise elegant Riviera ambiance.
There also seems to be a significant problem with aggressive pigeons around the outdoor areas. Even when simply having a drink, pigeons would suddenly fly onto tables, knock things over and create a rather unhygienic atmosphere. Considering that even a glass of wine costs minimum around €19, one would expect this issue to be managed more effectively.
The small beach directly in front of the hotel appeared rather neglected and not particularly inviting. There was also no visible beach club setup at the time, although it may possibly open later in the season.
