Sara Riviera | Apartment in Cap d'Ail, Provence - Alpes - Cote d'Azur

“Great location and the room, view and swimming pool were all amazing. Few details let it down, such as wi-fi being very bad and TV not working properly, whilst the room is not serviced each day and we had to go and buy some basics such as toilet roll and kitchen roll.”

“Great stay - the appartement Complex is beautiful and good for kids”

“Check in went smoothly when we finally figured out how to get into the compound. The room was small but enough for what we were looking for. The view was amazing. Only downside is the cleanliness which needs improvement. Under the bed was very very dusty, the toilet had a funky smell and the cutlery were not washed properly. I ended up having to wash everything and buy my own cleaning product to clean the toilet so the smell would go away. Breakfast was very simple, coffee/tea, bread and croissant with butter/jam and juice.”

“It was very nice view but the cleaning was not so good.”

“Looks fantastic on the pictures but the place is worn out and needs to be updated. The room we got was one of the ”not renovated” which you could really see, and smell. Rust, dirt on the walls by the bed, mold in the shower, damaged furnitures. Worn out cookingtools ( pots and pans really needs to be replaced) our balcony / terrace was really nice! ( except for the dirty white sofa) A 5 star view over the ocean and city! We asked to get another room and Sara was really helpful but the option we got didn’t have a bathtub and terrace so our kids wanted to stay. But that room looked renovated and clean. The pool area is damaged and dull. Dead plants and broken pots and sunchairs. Not enough parasols. But the pool and view was over the top! ALSO be aware that if you pay for breakfast 10 euros/ person/ day you will have to negotiate in advance what you would like and when. Basic is croissant, cream cheese, marmalade, nutella, Baguette and eggs and beverage. But when you ask for something you get it. Snack bar is a vending machine. And there was not anywhere else in town, Monaco or Nice where the icecream was as expensive! WiFi didn’t work. Not for us. Parking is good.”

“This is such a gem! This was our second stay in Sara Riviera. The view is amazing and the apartments are unique. This place is designed by a famous architect and you can really feel this unique architecture. The only little minus is the level of cleaning, the apartments are not spotless clean. Also, the sun beds at the pool are old and not in good condition, and there are only two shades. There would be a lot more potential to this resort with a little more effort. Note that the apartments vary quite a lot in their furnishment. But the view is certainly the best you can get!”

“Breathtaking view, close to Monaco and very decently priced. A lovely pool on the roof, great for a morning dip. It is not perfect, the outside air-con unit blows the hot air back in if the doors are open but that is a small thing compared to the benefits of staying with Sara Riviera. We would definitely return, should our path take us to Cap-d’Ail again.”

“Very nice views and pool area, room was good but a little outdated. However suited our group very well. Service and correspondence with staff could be a little more polite… a smile would make all better. ;-)”

“The room was very tired and in need of major investment . Very disappointed when we arrived and eventually checked in which was not a good experience. The air conditioning was awful and did not keep us cool. A very old system and not acceptable in the heat. We had self catering. No chopping boards or sieve. Pans that didn’t work on the hob. Very under equipped . Almost as though any old rubbish and mis match was plonked in the cupboards. The pool was ok but health and safety an issue. We witnessed another holiday maker fall through the grates along the pool. He cut his knee , this was reported but nothing done. Not even a sign to let others know that it was is hazard . Only four umbrellas in the heat available at the whole pool area . Many children had no cover from the blazing sun . Rubbish left on the wooden decking for days. Not enough staff and no care from the management. It felt like they took your money and didn’t care. I would never recommend this accommodation. It’s very clear there hasn’t been any investment for years.”

“Modern clean room with AC and stunning view and large balcony. Our room didn’t have lift access so the last bit we had to carry our heavy bags up by quite a few steps. The common area have no restaurant and def needs some love and cleaning. But pool itself is clean and gorgeous view. Easy with own parking but it is on cliff so steep to drive up to and also parking on a hill essentially inside the carpark - but you get used to it. Easy walk down to store and bakery but steep walk up back to room (great cardio). Gorgeous surroundings by the sea with walk path. The only problems we had was a door malfunction making closing the door hard but somehow got fixed by itself and no wine opener (got it 24h later).”
