La Garoupe Gardiole

Lieu cosy chambre et salle de bain un peu petite équipe sympa acceptant les animaux de compagnie

Hyggelig hotell med god frokost ligger litt utenfor Antibes så man må benytte buss el. bil. Hyggelig og hjelpsom betjening.

This hotel is very pretty , set on the Cap D’Antibes in a residential area. The pool is just the right size and temperature, the rooms; all different some small and some big, some with pool views. The breakfast was good value at €19 per person. The pool bar had lovely snacks and reasonably priced drinks. The staff were all friendly and knowledgable , shout out to Irish Gary for getting us extra milk most nights. Thank you for a brilliant week.

We enjoyed a lovely week in this pretty hotel. The staff were very welcoming and willingly recommended and booked delicious restaurants nearby and in Vieux Antibes for us, as well as highlighting local coastal walks. The pool was lovely and very clear - they clean it each night and the main hotel areas are always very clean. We always found a sunbed round the pool; some areas are shadier than others as the sun moves round. There is a nice bar serving cocktails, other drinks and simple tasty snacks. Breakfast is also delicious however, overly expensive at 19 Euros per person. (There is a nice Boucherie around the corner if you want to purchase breakfast fare although it's also very expensive, and the nearby Brasserie Biscuit also does breakfasts. There is a limited mimi supermarket, a Spa, 10-12 minutes walk away. This is a roundabout way of saying we spent more on food than we had envisaged!) Its quiet at night (its in a smart leafy residential area) and we found the beds very comfortable. Whilst the rooms were clean the balconies weren't swept so we kept bringing sand back into the room. Bizarrely neither of our rooms had bathroom doors and the toilet in my children's room literally faced the bed so when privacy was required the other person had to be on the balcony or use the toilets near reception. Mirrors are a little ad hoc - my children's room had a full length mirror, ours did not. Excellent location - had we been in Vieux Antibes we might not have explored the beautiful Cap D'Antibes as much as we did as everything was easy to get to. The 2 local beaches (15 minutes walk) are pretty and sandy. We hadn't realised before booking that one of the, La Garoupe, is mainly a private beach during the key summer months which requires booking 3-4 days ahead and cost between 45-55 euros per day per person! The nearest public beaches are small. We found the public beach area in Juan Les Pins to be much larger and really lovely. The hotel has some beach umbrellas you can borrow. (Private beaches in Juan Les Pins are marginally cheaper but still overpriced so plenty of space). Transport - we didn't hire a car. It takes about 35-40 minutes to walk to Juan Les Pins (particularly nice early evening/soft sunset) but you can get an Uber/Bolt - approx 10 -12 Euros depending on the time of day. There is a bus stop on the hotel's doorstep which gets you into Antibes which is super quick but its only once an hour and stops early in the evening so we tended to get a cab (12-15 euros depending on which part of Antibes) or walked - the views by Plage de la Salis, Plage due Ponteil are lovely.

We loved this hotel. Cool laid back Miami boutique hotel vibes.

The hotel is nicely located outside Antibes and a bit more than 15 mins walk to the two beaches of Cap d’Antibes. In retrospect the beaches in Juan-les-pins were just nicer and we will likely go there next time we will be in the area About the hotel. The personnel is kind and friendly, but several downsides made our stay a 2/5: 1) a smell of mold in our room and strong smell coming from the bathroom 2) we were two families. One of the two rooms had no bathroom door (!) and water from the shower would immediately flow into the bedroom. 3) everything in our rooms and bathrooms seemed old 4) the pool is nice and clean, but don’t get fooled by the pictures: during peak hours it was hard/impossible to find a sun-bed.

Bookede 10 min inden ankomst, skulle bare have en hurtig overnatning. Et meget dyrt område, men var sat ned fra ca 2200 pr overnatning til ca 1400. Selvom det var et dejligt hotel, som jeg bestemt ville overveje en anden gang, var det ikke 2400kr værd.

I can't give a higher review. This is not about the owner or the hotel. This is about the people that work there. 10/10. Highest service I have ever received. Made me rethink French service altogether. My girlfriend and I have decided to come back to Antibes JUST to visit this hotel and these folks.

Friendly, helpful and competent staff. We really liked the location (leafy affluent suburbs). Free on site or road parking. Our room was small but comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful (15€ pp). Lovely restaurant next door to the hotel. Walking distance to the beach. Hotel restaurant served very overpriced Aperol spritzers (14€ each) 😳

The hotel is quite far away from Antibes, and it is a walk (nice, but a proper walk) to the next beach. We had booked a room for a family (2 grown-ups with child), but upon check-in it turned out, that they had mistead/forgotten/ignored the request, and we had a double bedroom (very small) with a double bed (a very small one), and ni option to change room. We also disn’t receive an apology, or help in any way, e.g. With a matress for our daughter. The room itself was tiny, but nice enough, with a nice balcony. Unfortunately it was turned towards their restaurant, and it was crazy loud until they closed - which was quite late. Swimming pool was nuce, so was the breakfast area. If you ask for a room away from the hotel, and double check if they really booked enough beds for you, it’ll probably be nice.
