Hotel Royal-Riviera

“This hotel is not special. They have small rooms that they don’t recommend yet they sell them. I don’t understand this but it was fine for us. Actually the small room is technically bigger than many rooms in NYC hotels we stayed in, so they originally scared us that there was zero space. We could have even put a crib in the room but they don’t allow it. Anyway. The breakfast is nothing special, a bit mediocre, but the Jasmine restaurant was fantastic. We stayed here for my wife’s birthday, and I paid extra to setup balloons, roses, and a cake. They asked to frame our picture in the room before” — Fantxa

“The heated pool, the location right by the beach, the beautiful rooms, the views over the Med and the cap - all of this is very much le top. But I’ve never quite had such an experience (in over ten years living in France) with the hotel staff. Welcoming, kind, warm, supremely competent and just all round excellent - there are quite a few fancy places in Paris that could take lessons from these guys. We hope to be back, un grand merci !” — Laura Hulley

“What a lovely hotel. The grounds and rooms were spotless. Everyone who worked there, from the ladies managing breakfast to the pool caretakers, were friendly. The hotel has quite a few rooms but also had a chill, calm vibe to it. The location is great. Easy access to restaurants nearby and the train and bus to get around. I will be recommending this hotel to friends who visit the area.” — bethany f
