A hotel csodálatos kilátással a tengerre, patinás épület, minden igényt kielégitett.
Pros:

A hotel csodálatos kilátással a tengerre, patinás épület, minden igényt kielégitett.

Cons:

A zöldséget hiányoltam a méregdrága reggeliből, és azt sem értékeltem, hogy a nagyon drága reggeli befizetése mellett még 13 eurot kellett fizetni egy omlettért...

Fantastiskt anrikt hotell.
Pros:

Utsikten, maten, rummen

Cons:

Slapp personal. Långt från vad man kan vänta sig. Dålig koll på historien, ingen service om man inte tjatade.

Bedrooms need refurbishing
Cons:

We are a family of five and stayed in two interconnecting superior rooms on the first floor. We have stayed at this hotel many times and would stay again, but unfortunately, our rooms were extremely noisy. Every morning, we were woken at dawn by delivery trucks and bin lorries.

We understand that the rooms are not particularly large, but they are now in desperate need of refurbishment. The shower door was awkwardly positioned, and both my husband and I cut our legs on it. The toilet flush button was loose, and the headboard was badly stained, as were the sheets on my daughter’s bed. In the children’s room, the television was placed directly in front of the mirror, so it had to be moved onto the floor so that our teenage daughter could use the mirror. The televisions were also very old.

Housekeeping was not up to scratch either. We had to complain after dirty glasses and cups were left in the room and were neither removed nor replaced for several days. The bathrooms were also not cleaned properly.

That said, the restaurants were wonderful, with an excellent breakfast selection. We particularly enjoyed the restaurant by the beach, where we had several meals. We also loved the beach area and its beautiful setting.

Misleading Food Prices
Pros:

I have stayed at Hôtel Belle Rives on several occasions over the years and have always regarded it as one of my favourite hotels on the Côte d’Azur. My previous experiences have been excellent, which is why I recently suggested to a friend that we visit for lunch on the waterfront terrace.

After reviewing the menu, we were informed that the day’s special was sea bass for two, which we ordered along with a side salad and two drinks. The meal itself was enjoyable; however, we were extremely surprised when the bill arrived to discover that the fish alone cost €185.

Given that the majority of main courses on the menu were priced in the region of €20–€30, this represented a very significant increase in cost. At no point were we advised of the price of the special, nor were we given any indication that it would be so substantially more expensive than the dishes listed on the menu.

While I appreciate that fresh fish may be charged by weight and that premium restaurants command premium prices, transparency is essential. Had we been informed of the price beforehand, we could have made an informed decision. Instead, I left feeling embarrassed, disappointed and, frankly, taken advantage of.

As a returning customer who has always spoken highly of Belle Rives, this experience has unfortunately left a sour impression. My complaint is not about the quality of the food, but about the lack of price disclosure and what I consider to be poor customer service. I hope management will review this practice to ensure future guests are clearly informed of the cost of daily specials before ordering.

Great Hotel
Pros:

My husband and I went with his son and Girlfriend. We had such a lovely time, the Hotel is quite special and the staff could not do enough to make our stay so comfortable.

The beach club, the restaurants, the bar are all great with a really good atmosphere and all within a short walk of Juan Les Pins.

I would have no hesitation to recommend the Hotel.
