Resort feeling close to Nice/Cannes with great food
Pros:

Resort location feeling with free parking. Great, modern room with all the modern amenities. Amazing breakfast buffet with local products, pancakes, salmon, make your own eggs station, etc. We were extremely impressed! The hotel restaurant was also very good, and all the staff was excellent. The spa was fully booked (so it must be good ;))

Hôtel moderne et confort, mais déçue
Pros:

Personnel sympathique à la réception, au hammam au début avant le hammam non(pas de renseignements quand questions, et peu sympathique), à la fin: c'était une autre personne :oui très sympathique. Sinon je trouve les tarifs élevés: tarif de la chambre par rapport à la surface de la chambre: elle manquait de luminosité, de surface, et aspect cooconing non présent, pas de bouteille d'eau dans le frigo. Les tarifs petit déjeuner : trop excessifs, sachant que les jeunes en plus mangent souvent peu le matin : il faudrait adapter des formules plutôt que d'imposer un tarif cher pour 2 personnes. Le repas du soir un peu cher aussi. Les tarifs sont élevés : l'hôtel est quand même retiré de tout même si étoiles, ne justifie pas ces tarifs.

Cons:

- dimension chambre et manque de "chaleur"
- prix (chambre, petit dej, repas)
- indications hôtel pour accès (le gps ne fonctionnant pas): hôtel pas facile à trouver selon par où on arrive
- pas du tout d'eau dans le frigo, frigo vide: c'est moyen pour l'accueil..
