Amazing time enjoying Cote d Azur ;)

This was the perfect location to enjoy a catamaran tour of the area. Literally 1 min walk to dock! Great restaurant & fun to walk the beach due to fun vendors. The water & sand were beautiful! Would stay again in the future. :)

What a great location! The staff was super friendly, helpful and above and beyond. We loved this place. We stayed two nights in four rooms. Most of our rooms did not have a shower. Just a wand attached to the bathtub to spray off. It was hard to wash off sand.

Bra men behƶver uppdatering....

Mysigt hotel vid havet med super trevlig personal men... hotellet behƶver en uppfrƤschning. Lite mƄlarfƤrg och nya mattor sƄ skulle hotellet ge en helt annan kƤnsla. Mer som ett bra 3 stjƤrnigt. OcksƄ, att inte ha duschdraperi pƄ ett sk 4 stjƤrnigt hotel dƤr man tvƤttar bƄde sig sjƤlv och hela badrummet samtidigt Ƥr inte helt OK.
