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.

St Raphael is better than Cannes!

Air conditioning is seasonal. Had to keep windows open at night. Street noise until midnight and again at 6am. Staff was excellent and room very clean. The restaurant was fantastic!

Nice Hôtel / great location

This was a nice hotel in a great location. The staff was friendly and helpful. Our only issue was the internet connection which would expire at midnight and required 2 step process to connect which didn’t always work the first time.

Hotels.com and hotel should agree terms of offer

We made a specifc booking with twin beds offer and when we arrived we were told that for the category of room in fact they had no such category of rooms with twin beds (and since hotel was full, there was no solution). Whether attributable to Hotels.com or the hotel itself, the offer is misleading and creates difficulties. The hotel made it up by offering breakfast but still I did not get what we bookee for.
