10/10 goes for the view and the pool.

The rooms were a little out dated and ran down. Ac is available only in the main room and not in the bedrooms so if you like to sleep in cool environment be prepared to sleep on a pull out coach since the ac barely reaches the bedrooms. Having a washing machine and a stove top is a plus for delicious home made dinner with a fantastic view from the balcony.
If you are arriving late in the evening, finding your apartment can be confusing, but clear directions for you to follow are provided, so read them. Checkout was smooth and everybody tried to help as much as they could throughout your stay.

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).

The view from the room was great. But if you are travelling without car and luggage bags it would be nightmare for you. There are steps where you have to carry all your luggage. No ramps at all. Rooms need some maintenance. Toilet seat was broken. No everyday cleaning provided unless you are paying for it. 500ml water bottle they charge €3. Communication with the owner was smooth and helpful.

I booked Sara Riviera through Hotels.com for 5 guests based on the photos and description. Unfortunately, the property did not match the listing and was not suitable for our group.

Upon arrival, the room was significantly smaller than advertised and lacked adequate sleeping arrangements for 5 people. The layout was cramped and impractical for a group stay.

The property was also not clean at check-in, which was concerning. In addition, there were safety issues, including poor lighting in the open/walking areas, making it unsafe to navigate at night.

Accessibility was another issue. One member of our party has a medical condition affecting mobility, and the property’s layout and lack of accommodations made it unsafe and not conducive for guests with physical limitations.

I contacted Hotels.com immediately upon arrival to report these issues and request cancellation. The property refused a refund, and we were forced to stay one night out of necessity before securing alternative accommodations the next day.

This property may work for fewer guests with low expectations, but it is misleadingly advertised and not appropriate for groups, guests with accessibility needs, or anyone prioritizing cleanliness and safety.

Looks like an unfinished blockhouse .
When I booked my reservation , for whatever reason the dates were wrong. Waited at the front office for 20 mns until someone comes . Hotel is deserted because low season . Talked to the manager asking her if we can change the date for two days earlier .there is absolutly no one in the hotel .she requires more money ( 24 euros ) saying the staying is more expensive . Quickly check on line and actually the price was lower . Then she said it cost administrative time to make the change ?
Pool was empty and so was the jacuzzi . All the lounge chairs are piled up in the restaurants !
The room was nice and so was the view . This property had a bad energy.

The view from the rooms in this hotel are fantastic! However, the hotel is extremely inaccessible, and our rooms were all at opposite ends of the complex. It was very difficult to get our luggage from the car park to the hotel rooms, as all of our rooms required climbing stairs as lifts didn't go to our floor and at night it was very dark. - We wouldn't recommend staying here if anyone has mobility issues as you would struggle.

Whilst the reception are always easily reachable by WhatsApp and respond quickly, there are however no staff on site in the evenings so you are unable get extra linen or towels, or toilet roll, despite asking multiple times.

Three days in a row we asked for our sofa bed to be made up, someone brought us new towels but never made the bed up.
Rooms weren't cleaned each day.

Some rooms in the hotel are really lovely, clean and modern and all rooms have an excellent sea view. However, some rooms are dated and are in need of repairs as some of our rooms had doors which didn't shut properly.

Parking was great though, there was very ample parking at this hotel and for tall vehicles.

Okay so accept you are staying in an apartment and it’s not the 4 Seasons. However the view from my enormous balcony was spectacular. The space clean and practical. Bed comfortable. Shower ok. The staff are amazing and really helpfully. Only downside was lugging my bag up the hill day 1.
Close. (15mins on average to Monaco) with access to the coast and all It has to offer.
Overlay, I will be back next year and would highly recommend it to others who like privacy and space. Thank you and Thank you!!

The view was beautiful and the apartment was very small but nicely appointed. The air conditioning didn’t work and they did not have anyone to fix ii and it was very hot all day and into the night. The lights in the living room would not turn off and lite up the bedroom all night. The lock on the outside patio did not lock and the apartment lock was very difficult to unlockand lock. The carpet was stained and in need of a cleaning. You would think the owner or management company would take better care of the apartments. Very unhappy with the apartment outside of the beautiful view!!

The pool and rooms are comfortable. Lots of light bulbs burnt out. It is not easy to get to beach and store. Very steel walk down with over 200 stairs then you have to get back up hill. A 5 minute cab ride cost 80 euros and to airport 150 euros. Found the location inconvenient.

Nice views and that’s it

Beautiful views, but that’s about it. The apartment we stayed in had been redone in the past couple of years, but was still pretty worn. The air conditioning unit was old and smelly and could not keep up with the temperatures which made it impossible to stay in the unit during the day and uncomfortable at night. The location is great for views, but that’s about it. Could not really walk anywhere and could not park anywhere in the town. Hard to find groceries and other supplies. Had questions about my reservation and sent several messages- no response. Was supposed to have received check in instructions, but never received anything. Staff at the front desk were unfriendly and unhelpful. Parking was fine. Note that the elevator does not go to the ground floor so some stairs are required. Not worth the 400 euro per night we spent. Would not stay here again.

Initially, it was somewhat difficult to access the property but once we contacted the phone number at the gate it was a super easy process. Our hostess was very flexible, accommodating and made the process of checking in extremely easy for us.

The property was beautiful the views were amazing and it was extremely clean.

Places to eat and shop were at a far walking distance but if you like exploring you’ll enjoy the journey. Uber eats is also available and has decent choices.

Great place to stay and have a base if you have a car. Using public transport meant walking up about 250 steps from the town centre. In 35 degree heat with luggage took a while.

We had to pay for early check plus taxes.
As we had just come from Paris on the sleeper train we just wanted to get in the pool and relax.
Great infinity pool and lovely place to take in the views.
No snacks/drinks available except at reception and these were extortionate hence the benefit of a car.
Inside our triple room the washbasin drawers were not shutting and one of the panes of glass on the balcony had cracked. They were aware of this when the room was allocated but didn't tell us until we reported the issues.

Melissa was lovely and super helpful but couldn't do anything about the early check-in charges.

Truly breath taking view from the apartment, room 326, we requested to change the room as we would liked to have sea view instead of having two bed rooms which looked like located the lower level of building. The receptionist, Melissa, was amazing, she helped us to find the room that we liked. Our daughter was super happy as well. Definitely this is the place for us to come back.

Horrible

Draps sâles avec cheveux et poils présents, serviettes de bain avec des tâches, chaises brisées,salle de bain insalubre, accueil atroce, pommeau de douche qui ne fonctionne pas bien,portes qui ne se vérouillent pas et j'en passe.... Photos qui dates probablement de très longtemps. Aussi, ce que vous allez réserver c'est \"une catégorie de chambre\" donc ne vous fiez pas aux photos, ce sera probablement différent

Le seul point positif est la vue qui est superbe!

More attention to what a traveler needs.

Lovely apt. clean and modern beautiful views. Short drive to Monico. Missing basic essentials, laundry soap, spatula and toilet paper, half a role for 3 days. No response until last day, forced to by our own.
Hard to locate- steep parking and many steps. Now at second location with all essentials and making up for how it should be when you rent an apt with a kitchen and laundry.

Pool closed

Excellent location for Monaco, steep hill and lots of stairs but not a problem for us.
Apartment and area was clean enough some residential units on the plot as well.
The pool which is amazing and not done justice by the pictures was closed, this was a big selling point of this apartment.
I was told when i asked it was seasonal but it was 23 degrees all week.
The tourist tax i was charged was more than advertised in the apartment and wasn't mentioned in the ad online.
Close to everything by car, 15 mins by steps down to the station

Sara goes out of her way to accommodate guests and their needs in both a friendly and professional manner, even giving me keys to several apartments , so I could chose the one I preferred, rather than the one I had booked, and also arranged for a sunlounger to be brought up for me.You can’t beat these views or value for money anywhere along the Côte d’Azur I believe. The outdoor infinity pool is divine, drinks are available all day , and breakfast was served at my apartment on the dot at my request at 8.30am. The breakfast as Sara kindly pointed out was simple , and told me exactly what to expect which I was quite happy to accept so I didn’t need to go out. If you do there are various shops in the village to cater to your needs. As a single traveller I felt comfortable and safe, and would totally recommend staying here. I’m at a loss as to some of the negative previous reviews, as I found all the staff and especially Sara , nothing but accommodating and helpful. Nothing was too much of an effort , and by the way I totally recommend treating yourself to their own riviera champagne. It’s fabulous. Thankyou for making my stay so pleasant. I will be back .

Overall fine with a disappointing surprise

Location was fine since we had a car so we could access Monaco within minutes. The property has ongoing construction and so the parking garage is a bit rough. The reception room looks messy and unprofessional. The property is on a steep hill, with nice views from the room.

Overall it was a comfortable stay except the people who stayed next door wanted us to turn off our balcony light at 9pm since it somehow was affecting their room so the design should consider the effects of balcony lighting on neighboring rooms.

Also the owner Sara asked us when we checked out if we had time to take out our trash. We only had a small trash bag in the trash bin, so I told her so and she said it was as fine. However, I never saw anywhere in the rules that we must take out our trash so this was a big surprise. She should not be asking guests this question, unless it is written in the rules.

The property looks rundown the office when you first come in is very dirty and disorganized
They charged me an extra night knowing I had bought insurance with Expedia we missed our plane because a train problem
They up grade us to a lovely apt ment but we could not lock the front door it took us exactly 3 hours to get in our romm they rented the apartment we reserved so the upgrade was just to make up for that and the extra charge was for upgrade the person in charge was there I sew her and she looked at me but had the other lady help us and the cleaning lady was very good and very nice and took time to tell us to go to different places she cared
How do I claim a lost of a night plus the extra charge thank you

We were very disappointed as the room we choose was nothing like what was online.

the Sliding door glass was broken. front door glass was also broken. Both doors were super hard to open as it kept coming off the rail.

Received half of a toilet paper roll and no replacement during the 5 days we were there.

Balcony had cigarette ashes.

Location was great, not too far from Monaco.
View was awesome.

Concerning the parking, it is not convenient to have to come out of the car in order to open the gate.
A censor would be great when coming out. So that it opens automatically. Or have the terminal before arriving at the gate, driver window level.

It is a nice concept, but not perfectly executed. Our room was not fine when we arrived ( not cleaned after the previous people left). They gave us another room, that stank because of the dishwasher that was not run. We ran the dishwasher for them, but the smell was there anyway, even more when you stopped the AC. Really bad.
The pool was closed earlier in the afternoon, so we couldn t go.
The staff was very responsive and super nice though.
The way it s set up ( on a cliff) makes it complicated to navigate and go in and out… it s like a maze.
I wouldn t recommend for everyone. And they need to fix that cleanliness issue ( issues really)

Good but a little disappointing

Overall it was a good stay with a beautiful view in a lovely area. However, there were multiple minor issues that became frustrating. For example, the locks on doors were very temperamental and difficult to work, our room was completely in the shade and about a 10 minute uphill walk away from the office/pool, the handles on the shower were so stiff we had to use a knife to control them, only one toilet roll was provided etc. It must also be noted that the hotel is not suitable for anyone without a car as the hill is very very steep and difficult to do with cases. The pool was the highlight of the hotel, I think we just expected a little bit more attention to detail when paying this amount.

The room was phenomenal..air conditioning blew super cold, the view from my balcony was amazing, breakfast was superb and they even gave me extra coffee because I’m addicted to the stuff and Sara was extremely nice & accommodating. Whenever I come back to Monaco, I know exactly where I’m going to stay. Everybody was professional & friendly from start to end. 10/10 stars!!! Thanks again!! 💯💯💯

Skuffende oplevelse – lever ikke op til billederne

Vi havde desværre en meget skuffende oplevelse på Sara Riviera. Vi havde booket 7 nætter gennem Hotels.com og forventede ud fra billederne et pænt og velholdt sted.

Ved ankomst fik vi en lejlighed, der var beskidt, havde mug i flere hjørner, plettet sofa, meget slidt/ødelagt inventar og en dør, der ikke kunne låses. Derudover løb der vand ned fra terrassen ovenover.

Vi klagede og blev flyttet til en anden lejlighed. Her virkede køkkenlyset og TV’et ikke, fryseren kunne ikke lukke ordentligt, en skuffe var ødelagt, og også denne dør kunne ikke låses.

Efter endnu en flytning fik vi endelig en lejlighed, der var i væsentligt bedre stand. Desværre var der også her beskidt sengetøj og hovedpuder, som ikke fremstod rene. Faktisk oplevede vi beskidt sengetøj i alle de lejligheder, vi blev tilbudt, og til sidst valgte vi at bruge vores egne hovedpuder, som vi havde med i bilen.

Vi vil gerne anerkende, at personalet til sidst forsøgte at finde en løsning. Men vi brugte en betydelig del af vores ferie på klager, dokumentation, pakning og flytning mellem lejligheder.

Under vores ophold observerede vi desuden flere andre gæster, som også gav udtryk for, at de var utilfredse med deres ophold.

Den største skuffelse er, at billederne og den markedsførte standard efter vores oplevelse slet ikke stemmer overens med virkeligheden. Vi vil derfor anbefale andre at være meget opmærksomme på, hvilken lejlighed de får.

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.

Anmeldelser af dette sted stemmer ikke overens med det, man læser om stedet. Alt er meget slidt, ødelagt og beskidt. Vi kunne heller ikke låse døren, alle døre og inventar havde gammelt skidt på sig, møbler oversidt fra fugle. Det var også meget tvivlsomt om lagenerne var skiftet. Vi havde booket 2 nætter, men tog afsted efter 1.

Kommunikationen med personalet var forfærdelig. Personalet var uhøflige og ligeglade. Ved kontakt på telefon smed de på når de ikke ville snakke mere.

Hmm… Vi var der i to dage. Vi havde booket en lejlighed med to værelser, ét med køjeseng. Altså alle de dårlige anmeldelser vi havde læst passede også på vores værelse. Intet virkede da vi ankom. Aircon virkede ikke fordi der manglede batterier i Remote. Det samme med TV. Der var myrer over alt. Håndvasken på badeværelset var ved at falde af. Toiletbrættet var knækket. Der var ikke rent. Sengene er så små at vores ben stak ud over. Køjesengen var så løs at den knirkede så højt at vores datter vågnede hver gang hun rørte sig. MEN udsigten er perfekt, poolen er lækker og beliggenheden er kanon. Havde de bare skrevet, at det er det vi betaler for, havde det været lettere at acceptere. Vi boede der i 2 overnatninger, og ovenstående kunne accepteres da vi havde forberedt os på det pga. anmeldelserne. Så vil man have lækker udsigt, god pool og beliggenhed -perfekt. Vil man have istandsat og brugbar lejlighed, -find noget andet.
