Hotel Residence Le Rivage

This could have been the perfect holiday! The setting is great, lovely apartment, spacious and well-tended gardens and great pool. However the air-conditioning didn't work at all and despite reporting this and being advised it would be sorted nothing happened. Also none of the security lights in the garden worked meaning that the grounds were totally in darkness at night. So overall a disappointing holiday

On the one hand the garden is beautiful and the rooms are quite decent. On the other hand it's a little run down, the pool is pretty cold (I'm from Northern England and even I thought it was cold) and having nobody ever on reception becomes a bit of a nightmare. In all fairness we have a young family and Mandelieu is more of a place for older couples in my opinion. I don't think we'll be back but it's not bad accomodation.

Nice room. Basically a suite with a kitchen. The really weird thing about this place is that the receptionist only works from 3:30-5 every day. Otherwise, there is nobody around to help with anything. The airline lost my bags and they tried to deliver them but nobody was to be found. This resulted in me having to travel back to Nice by train to recover the bags. That's not really their problem, it's just weird I guess. Otherwise, nice hotel, Pool is clean, room is clean. Wifi (sort of ) works (1MB down, .33 up) Great base from which to explore Cannes and on down to San Tropez.
