Just returned back after staying for 5 nights with my wife & 2 children.
Great hotel (as advertised), beach bar and private beach great, although busy at weekends.
Hotel restaurant (calypso) not up to much, although you are spoilt for choice with plenty of various restaurants right outside the hotel.
Only complaint was the hotel courtesy bus from the airport, difficult to find and the taxi's are really expensive - 25 euros for a 7 minute journey.
Good shopping mall (250 yards from hotel) 'cap3000'.
Recommend this hotel to all and will definitely be going back !

I never really understood the expression "Whinging Poms" until I read the review of this hotel and then stayed there. The resort is fantastic!! Myself my wife and my 14 month old daughter stayed there for a week and returned on Saturday.

The rooms are Typically 4 star - and believe me I know about 4 star hotels. I spend a lot of time in them for work. If there is something to complain about then it's that its not a 5 star hotel!!

There is a promenade outside the hotel which has so many restaurants that they will cater for all tastes. Indian Chinese Thai French European - what ever you want to eat....

If you want to avoid whinging poms then stay away from this resort. It is full of English people who seem to be of the assumtion that if English is not your first language then you must be stupid!!

It is beautiful, with Nice a short drive away, Cannes another short drive in the other direction and the Corniches and Monte Carlo are a must!! Where else would you see a pair of Bulgari sunglasses for sale at €68,000.00!!

I would recommend this resort to anyone but given that it's France, you may want to make sure you are hungry between 12.00 and 15.00 and 19.30 and midnight otherwise you won't eat anywhere!!

And by the way, the photos on the website exactly match the resort!!

After reading the previous two reviews (one of which we read prior to travelling on 23.07.06), I feel compelled to write my own review of this hotel. My husband and I stayed for twelve nights with our two teenage children during July/August 2006. We found the staff friendly and helpful (we contacted reception on arrival at the airport and the shuttle bus collected us within 10 mins). The rooms are nice and well equipped with a fridge, complimentary tea/coffee tray and bathroom toiletries etc.... The location is a good base for exploring the cote d'azure, and the shuttle bus will take/collect you from the airport, in order for you to use the local buses. Breakfast is excellent however, try having it served in your room, it is on time and lovely. The beach/pool complex is very nice, and ideal for families with young children, as it is safe and secure. The service is also good, we did not have to queue or wait any time for anything we requested. There is an excellent choice of restaurants from cheap and cheerful to very good (but not too expensive). Calypso has the best location but Dylano's, also on the front overlooking the med, was our choice for a lunchtime snack or a light evening meal such as pizza, salad pasta etc... On the whole we found the hotel to be excellent value for money, with very friendly and helpful staff and in a good location (bearing in mind the hotels/restaurants in Nice are far more expensive). The ONLY downside is that the culture in the evening is very much 'dinner' and our teenagers found this a little boring. Therefore, if you are taking teenagers, take a pack of cards or board games to keep them amused in the evening!

My partner and I stayed at this hotel last year and found it okay. This year we returned for 3 nights and quite frankly couldn't wait to leave. Half of the rooms were unlet, yet we were refused a sea view in spite of having booked a superior room three months previously. The Hotel Receptionist was extremely hostile. The whole area has become somewhat delapidated and the rooms were not cleaned until about 4 to 5 each day. The cleaning staff were very pleasant but under immense pressure. We paid our admission to the pools and had to wait three hours for towels! This hotel is definitely on the way out.
