HÔTEL DU CAP-EDEN-ROC ^{* * * * *}

My husband and I were lucky enough to spend our honeymoon at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc and it was the best decision we’ve ever made. We’re already thinking about coming back next summer — it was truly beyond what we had imagined and more. Based on reading the reviews, a few things stood out to me:

1. Service: I have received not-so-great service at other 5-star hotels around the world as a woman of color, but not here. I NEVER felt that I didn’t belong here and all staff made me feel so welcome and comfortable as soon as my husband and I entered the hotel grounds. At times, we felt that everyone was TOO NICE!
2. On-site amenities: My husband and I like to stay active and the tennis court and gym are unbeatable. We were able to reserve a spot each day with no issue.
3. Decor: It seems like a lot of people have issues with how “outdated” the room decor was and urged the hotel to change the decor but I disagree. The current interior decor is traditional and aligns well with what the hotel’s aesthetic is like both inside and out. If you prefer to stay in modern hotel rooms, this is NOT the place for you and you should book a modern hotel instead of staying at a hotel with a long and rich history.
4. Attention to detail: Building off the first point, we were showered with really special touches throughout our stay at Hotel du Cap. Maybe it was because we were honeymooning or because our travel agent had an existing relationship with the hotel but we did receive thoughtful gifts and exceptional service throughout our time. I was left speechless each night!
5. Accessibility: As a guest, I prefer to have better access to all the amenities that the hotel has to offer. I read a few reviews regarding how hotel guests were let in before non-guests and non-guests were upset but I think the management should continue to keep the policy the same. Why are guests required to pay 2000 euros a night if we’re not going to be let in before non-guests to bars and restaurants AT THE HOTEL? It totally doesn’t make sense.

We were truly blown away by everything and can’t wait to come back with our family, friends, and (one day) kids in the future. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to be on our honeymoon and we’re already dreaming of returning!

Décor de rêve. Terrasse sur la mer. Repas délicieux et mets très fins. Accueil et service impeccables.

Nice hotel and the staff is very nice. It's definitely much farther than 10 minute walk from the beach, only other problem is I wish they had a discount at the bar/restaurant for guests. Charging $25(!!!) for a gin and tonic when I'm already paying $1500 a night to stay here feels pretty ridiculous.

Straordinario

Extremely dangerous pontoon (serious risk of injury). If you wish to spend your day on a boat and depart from this hotel, for your safety, please embark from the closest port or use the tender (he will ask 50€ for 10 meters trip though).
Guests safety is clearly not a concern for the pontoon staff, neither for the tender man. Very disappointed.
