Cap d'Antibes Beach Hotel

I visited this hotel for a week with my wife on our honeymoon. The hotel is GREAT, the staff was super friendly, and the atmosphere is perfect for a couples getaway. We had a truly incredible time. The three stars is due to the fact we had NO hot water for the entire duration of our trip. Each day, we (along with several other couples we spoke with), would ask the front desk when we could expect hot water. Each day, the staff would basically shrug and say they didn't know. For the entire week, if we wanted to shower, we had to take an ice cold shower. We specifically rented a suite so we had a tub, which we obviously couldn't use due to the no hot water. The biggest surprise was that the staff did nothing to acknowledge it. Toss a bottle of wine in the room? Give a gift card to the restaurant? Literally ANYTHING to make up for the fact that half the resort had no hot water for several days on end. I've emailed Franck (the manager) seven times since our stay and he's ignored every email. I'm only writing this review because he's voluntarily ignoring my emails. Again - GREAT hotel, but a week without hot water and zero partial refund or any type of make-good isn't exactly ideal. I cannot recommend the actual hotel enough though - just hope you have hot water!

This hotel is something else, from the minute you arrive and the valet takes your car and your luggage to the minute you leave when it all appears again - the service is second to none. We had a deluxe room which had beautiful views over the garden and to the harbour. I was thrilled to see that unlike so many hotels the Cap d'Antibe managed to provide a proper dressing table type arrangement. I'm sure all the ladies will confirm it is helpful if the mirror, socket for the hairdryer and a seat are all close together. The room was fab - really contemporary and had all you need including flip flops! The restaurant was beautiful and we had a lovely breakfast every morning in the warm sunshine. We had dinner only once, as being a Michelin star restaurant the budget couldn't quite stretch to every night. The food was delicious and the attention detail and service was as you'd expect of such as quality establishment. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are definately planning to go back at some point. Head here for some luxury and relaxation in the sun.

This was a repeat visit for us, so clearly we like this place! The hotel is obviously luxurious and expensive, but the atmosphere is relaxed rather than stuffy. You never feel like you have to dress up or behave formally - it's conducive to doing nothing, lazing around by the beach/pool, being pampered with drinks or meals brought to you, and just enjoying the sunshine. Unusually for the Cote d'Azur, you get a proper sandy beach (not rocks). There are attendants always ready to adjust umbrellas to give you sun or shade. The rooms are extremely comfortable. Bear in mind that some of them have a "port view" which overlooks a car park, which is not the most attractive, however you will probably want to spend most of your time at the beach or pool or sightseeing, not in your room. The continental breakfast buffet provides a reasonable choice and attentive service. Perhaps the only opportunity for improvement is the in-house restaurant Baba. It was mostly very good, and we ate there many times due to the convenience, but the service was a little patchy at times (e.g. incorrect meals brought several times in a row, orders mixed up) and overall didn't quite live up to the rather high prices. Nevertheless this was a minor blemish in an otherwise perfect stay, and certainly wouldn't deter us from coming back next time!

End March/beg April is always tricky with weather in Southern Europe and we unfortunately arrived after a huge storm that completely covered the beach with seaweed. Inspite of this inauspicious start, we had the most wonderful week at Cap D’antibes Beach hotel. The entire team did their absolute best to make up for the weather, which to be honest, taking all things into perspective encouraged us to do things which we normally wouldn’t do in the summer when we usually go. We walked to many fantastic restaurants in Antibes, Juan Le Pin, La Garoupe. We went to the Musée Picasso for the 1st time in 10 years. We had a wonderful dinner and walk through Le Suquet in Cannes. In the summer those walls would have been almost impossible in the heat. The hotel has electric bikes which my husband and I took several times to cycle around gorgeous Cap D’antibes. Special mentions to Caroline who was an absolute Angel as well as Doriane and Elena who took care of all our needs, as well as Christophe in the restaurant and Ludovic by the pool and of course the lovely Hotel manager Frank. For a Relais Chateau, the food was not of the same standard as we have experienced in other RC properties, but you are spoiled for choice in the area so it wasn’t really an issue for us. We are familiar with the area and had additional tips (Mamo Michelangelo was the firm favourite). We love South of France and will be back for sure. Cap D’Antibes Beach hotel will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you again to everyone.

Cap D'Antibes Beach Hotel is a great contrast to the stuffy formality of the other 5 star hotels in the Riveria that, for me, are more pomp than circumstance. This hotel is the real deal, especially for those that are on the Riveria to enjoy the sea, the beach, and easy access to Antibes, Nice, St. Paul de Vence. We spent a day in total retreat mode, never leaving the property. And you feel like there is nowhere else in the world. Massages in the outdoor 'cabin' are consistently good. And the beach is a rarity in the area- soft sand, protected swimming, privacy between the beach chairs, and an amazing beach service team led by Ludovic. They don't pander to you (so if you need to be fussed over to feel important - go to Eden Roc) - rather they give great service when you request and always check in to see if you need anything. For lovers of modernist design, the architecture and interior design choices are stunning. An array of textures, colors inspired by Palm Springs and the Medditerranean. The details, from the round wood door stops to the hones pink marble and stone floors that bring outside in are impeccable. Some reviews have complained about the exterior black out shade noise. First, having that was a dream. Or I should say, facilitated my dreams. It brought complete darkness for a deep sleep. Second, the noise from adjacent rooms raising and lowering was only noticable if I was already awake and sitting in total silence. And those who criticized for lack of coffee and tea in the room, clearly are not observant or used to discreet and impeccable design. A glorious full height mirrored cabinet is located in the room, with a full bar, Nespresso coffee service, Tea, snacks, and refrigerator. The touch of an included breakfast delivered to the room and bottled water and a treat delivered at night was appreciated. I recommend this hotel to those who want true discreet luxury that is comfortable as a beach hotel should be. The staff radiates the same feel.
