Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with views over the gardens of the Cap d'Antibes, but guests may experience noise from service stairs in the morning. The service is good overall, especially praised for the charming and helpful staff like the legendary concierge Luca. The location is outstanding, being convenient to Antibes and just a 5-minute walk to the restaurants and cafes in Juan-les-Pins. The dining experience varies from a wide range of options to some being below average in value for money.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The beautiful rooms and excellent staff made my experience unforgettable. However, the tiny bathroom with an old-fashioned shower did lead to a bit of a water issue. The service was top-notch and one of the reasons I would definitely come back.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The lobby provided great dining experiences for lunch and dinner, but the rooms were quite disappointing with a strong gas leak smell and in urgent need of renovation despite being non-smoking. The location overlooking Juan Les Pins was lovely, but the high prices made it hard to justify staying there.
Although the rooms had a strong gas leak smell and were quite cramped, the hotel staff were amazingly helpful and went above and beyond for all requests. The location is fantastic with exceptional food, but the dining experience was disappointing. Overall, a lovely stay with some room for improvement.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were small but had a beautiful balcony overlooking the hotel terrace and the Mediterranean, which was lovely. The prepaid rate including breakfast was a nice touch, but the overall room quality was not what I expected for the price.
