Extras Alert
Although Cote d'Azur beachfront accommodation often comes with a hefty price-tag, this hotel maintains reasonable rates which travelling families especially appreciate. However, the relatively pricey breakfast, surcharges for onsite self-parking and the fee for pets to stay in guestrooms disappoints some reviewers.

What Wi-Fi?
Cyberkids might find the free Wi-Fi can spoil an evening of online entertainment. Several report spotty coverage in parts of the unusual early 20th Century building, while the odd guest has asked for a server reboot and a few could only connect on the ground floor.

Rooms Without Views
Sparkling Mediterranean-Sea views from upgraded rooms are so perfect, guests who go standard are left wishing they'd shelled out a bit more. Some complain about rooms facing a concrete wall, while several other reviewers mention rooms looking out onto a dark, narrow lane.
