Hoping for a short break in the sun we opted for Nice which is a great city. The hotel was located on the main promenade , easy walking distance to all the big fashion shops and the old town. It was also a very easy bus ride from the airport, the bus stop just outside the hotel. Approx 3 euros for a bus journey considerably cheaper than a taxi! The staff were helpful, all fluent in English, the standard room was spacious, TV minibar and nice toiletries provided. The rooftop pool was a great place to relax, with a stunning view over the sea, nice comfortable sun beds, towels etc, good sun spot, as was the rooftop restaurant - excellent in terms of service and quality of food. Breakfasts were served in the restaurant inside the hotel, a buffet style inc cooked and continental foods, fruit, cereals etc etc plenty of good quality available, good service. There was also a small gym which I did not use. The hotel also had a private beach with a restaurant directly opposite the hotel, this was also an excellent place to eat. In addition to this sunbeds were available and waiter service for drinks and snacks. There were changing facilities and toilets inside the restaurant area. We couldn't have asked for anything else! The only complaint I have about this hotel is the additional costs we had to pay. Charges were made for hire of beach sunbeds/towels/parasols etc - about 24 euros for 2 people for the whole day even for hotel guests. Hotel guests were also charged for sunbeds/towels/parasols at the rooftop pool which I found a bit excessive. Overall a good quality hotel, plenty of facilities and excellent location, just be prepared for the hidden extras! We stayed in June/July - weather excellent, although the hotel was busy it did not have an adverse effect on the experience.

Sounds a good place to stay. Charging for the poolside extras seems a bit unfair though. Maureen
