Very dissapointing due to the totally misleading brochure on the hotel website. Do not expect bright modern rooms. The rooms are very dark and are looking very tired. They need updating and a good clean. They are nothing like the brochure portrays. This hotel should not be classed as a member of the small leading hotels in the world especially for the prices they charge!

I stayed here for just one night in June with my husband. We arrived early in the morning on the day of our stay. Our room wasn't ready and we had a wedding to get ready for that started at 14h00. They gave us access to the fabulous showers in the Spa Centre, looked after our bags and even gave us a spare room for our own use until we left for the wedding.

The only down side to the stay was how long it look them to bring our car around. Each time we needed the car, we had to wait for the valets to appear. They seem short-staffed in this department.

Breakfast on the terrace was excellent - great food, good service, fabulous view onto the pool and the beach.

I have just returned from a wonderful short break with my wife at the Royal Riviera. I work in the travel industry and i have travelled extensively throughout the world and i have to say this is one of my favorite places.

I love the tranquility and the quiet understated class. This is the place for people who have it but don't flaunt. Yes it is expensive but then so is everything on the French Riviera.

Probably the best time to go would be end of June just before high season kicks in. You'll get better rates and the probability of v. good weather.

My husband and I spent 3 nights at the Royal Riviera in June. Overall, we were satisfied. This was our second trip to St. Jean Cap Ferrat so we already know the area and chose the Royal Riviera based on its location. It's between Beaulieu and St. Jean and very close to the train station. It's also just a 5 minute drive to Villefranche. The hotel is very nice and the service was good. The only real complaint we have is with the breakfast. Service could have been much better there.

One thing we did while we were in St. Jean was the walk around the cape and it was fantastic! It's a must-do if you like walking. The views are amazing and most of the trail is literally carved along the slope around the cape with lots of built-in stone stairs and paths. It takes about 2 hours and it's a very enjoyable way to get some exercise.

Last year, we stayed at La Voile d'Or which we also like and if we were to go back, we would probably stay there instead of the Royal Riviera.
