Pierre & Vacances Residence L'Ange Gardien

It was our second visit. Although the apartment is quite small it is perfect for our needs. We love the freedom an apartment gives and, of course, the swimming pool. The pool restaurant staff are very friendly and the food and drink are very good, particularly the cold lager! The apartment block is ideally placed for Villefranche and Beaulieu, and Beaulieu has an excellent supermarket by the station which is not too far to walk to from the apartment block. Beaulieu beach is also very near. From the swimming pool you can see Keith Richards' former home! It is a lovely part of the Cote D'Azur and, although the apartment could perhaps do with a little redecoration & most of the large plates were chipped, it did not detract from how nice it is there and we hope to return there again, perhaps with our grandchildren who will love the pool. The view of the bay from the swimming pool is quite stunning. In a nutshell, we loved the apartment, all its facilities, its location and the reception staff were all very helpful and friendly. Superb.

This hotel sucked. We checked in and the clerk handed us sheets to make the beds in our room. We went to take showers that night and we had no towels and of course the front desk closes at 7pm. When they finally opened at 9am the next morning we had to pay 6 euros per towel. The room was small an unimpressive. I would avoid this hotel at all cost. Pay a little more money and stay somewhere else you will regret it if you don't. We should have.

The apartments were in a good location for the beach. Only a 5 minute walk. The rooms are not air conditioned, which was very uncomfortable. You could hire an air conditioning unit, at an extra costs 100 Euros foir the week. Very disappointend havuing to hire sun beds around the pool area. 4 Euros per day for each sunbed. This put us off from staying around the pool duting the day. The canopy for the apaprtment needed a key to operate, but as this was a private apartment, we were told the owners held the key, so we could not use them to provide any shade. The costs for the air conditioning unit and the costs of hiring sunbeds should be detailed in the accomodation details, as this adds a considerable amount to the costs of the accomodation, and you may choose somewhere else, where tese items are included.

The hotel itself was in a nice location and had a lovely pool. We arrived at 9.30pm to find reception closed each evening at 7pm.....had trouble getting into our room!!! We found we had to pay 4 euros each day to use the sun loungers by the pool. Also, we were given 3 bath towels and 3 hand towels for 4 people at the beginning of the week, which were to last for the whole week and if you wanted fresh towels you had to pay 9 euros per person for fresh towels!!! The location and lovely swimming pool was the only good things about this hotel!!!
