“DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY”

Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat

3 of 5 stars
Philadelphia, PA
Sep 13, 2008

Maybe our expectations were to grand for this hotel or maybe it was because we were spending $1200 a night. But the service, quality and food of this hotel cannot compare to other 5 star hotels or any Ritz Carlton. Upon checking in we were brought to our ocean view room which was nice but not $1200 nice. The TV was old, the room was small and to get into the bathtub/shower combo you practically need a step stool.
The food is very mediocre. They charge 45 Euros for their pathetic excuse of a buffet brunch. It is horrible. You can get a better brunch at your local holiday inn. The bread was stale, the only had one or two types of cheese, runny eggs, no potatos, bad (can like) fruit and the list goes on and on.
The pool is not heated even though they claim it is (it's freezing!) and there is NO service by the pool. I sat there for FOUR hours and could not find anyone to order food or drinks from. There is also nothing going on at night. They are supposed to have a pianist playing outside in the evening but some nights we would go out there and there would be nothing and no cushions on the chairs to sit at. The service at their outside patio was terrible as was the service in their restaurant. We would have to track them down (get out of our seats to go find someone).
And finally this hotel has no gift shop, just a blink and you miss it boutique near the pool that sells a few swimsuits and hats.

if you want another good hotel in the area, go to Beaulieu Sur Mar. Great location !


Pros:
Beautiful Grounds
Very nice concierge who got us the best table at restaurants and gave good advise on excursions

Cons:
Overly expensive for what they are providing
Horrible food
bad service
mediocre rooms
Freezing pool
No pool side service
no gift shop

“Too 'Grand' for its own guests”

Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat

Aug 27, 2008

We have just returned from staying at this hotel. Having seen the hotel we thought it was beautiful and chose to stay there during a week when we got married. Whilst the hotel were fully aware we were getting married they did not bother to congratulate us or send us a card. They did however get the general manager down to the pool to suck up to one of the russian oil tycoon during every lunch time though.

We found the staff especially the concierge and waiting staff to be rude and snobby. They made us feel as if we were not good enough and that they were only concerned for thier multi-milllionaire type guests. Furthermore the food prices were extortionate 9 euros for a coke by the pool. 45 euros for simple and not thta nice breakfast and 115 suros for lasagne.

The only people we felt to be helpful and nice were the bellboys and lifeguards,

“Our favorite hotel”

Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat

5 of 5 stars
Indianapolis
Aug 4, 2008

we have stayed at the Grand hotel du Cap Ferrat severl times and plan to go again.
while the rooms are on the small side, and a Spa will not be ready until 2009, we still think this is one of the nicest places to go.
The staff, from the concierge down to the beach boys, are all excellent, friendly and forthcoming. The concierges especially make one feel at home, as does the staff of the restaurants. it is never a problem to have something special prepars.
The setting is outstanding.
While the hotel is elegant, it is never over done or chi-chi.

We recommend the hotel highly

“Beautiful splurge”

Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat

5 of 5 stars
Indy, IN
Jul 20, 2007
3/3 found this review helpful

Beautiful hotel. Magnificent property, with a huge pool and an air-conditioned funicular to the pool, if you don't feel like walking! The grounds are spectacular, and the staff excellent. Great restaurant, rooms were lovely, all around excellent. There is no beach to speak of, although there is a ladder to the Mediterranean. Several people who did go into the sea came out with jellyfish stings, so swing in the sea at your own risk. Otherwise, it's spectacular and worth the splurge

“Lovely and elegant”

Grand-Hotel du Cap-Ferrat

5 of 5 stars
New York City
Apr 15, 2007
8/8 found this review helpful

I travelled from NYC to attend a wedding with my new boyfriend. We had an amazing time unwinding in the lap of luxury and sophistication. I also had the chance to innocently chat with a renowned Hollywood actress from the film "Chicago" (whom I met swimming in the infinity pool with her children.) We shared our views of the breathtaking view looking over the Mediterranean Sea.

Aside from my celebrity siting, the accommodations in the Junior Suite were superb. The hotel grounds were immaculate, notably the fragrant gardens where you can sit and romantically watch the sunset with your honey. I especially enjoyed the fabulous array of exotic flowers in bloom.

Dining at the restaurant was such a pleasure, as the chef went out of his way to honor my gluten-free dietary restrictions. He altered the sauces on everything to keep me from a celiac reaction. (Whoever said the French were distant and difficult couldn't be more WRONG!)

I will definitely stay here again, as a beautiful memory of a vacation was made.
