La Réserve de Beaulieu

We had lunch at the poolside restaurant. Absolutely wonderful, relaxing, and very attentive friendly staff whose recommendations for wine and menu choices helped to lift our meal to the next level. Beautiful views, it is a restful seaside idyll.

We stayed in the Garden Suite, which is located to the side of the hotel entrance, and approached by its own path lined with cycads and flowers. The garden suite has a private terrace at the front with a table and two chairs, shielded by a hedge for privacy. The ground floor has a large grey sofa, red armchair, coffee tables, lamps, and minibar. The bedroom is upstairs, which leads to a large bathroom/dressing room. The bedroom has a small balcony looking onto the terrace and garden. Both the ground floor and bedroom have televisions. The garden suite has ample space, elegant furnishings, and a quiet location. The bed is extremely comfortable, with high quality bedlinen, and the bathroom is well stocked with towels and toiletries and has two wash basins. We used the hotel spa and outdoor pool each day. The pool was a perfect temperature, and a good size, with amazing views to the cliffs around Beaulieu sur mer. The spa has a number of treatment rooms leading to a small hammam, the gym, and a hot tub. The public spaces in the hotel are delightful - a very relaxing and attractive lounge area leading to a well-planted courtyard garden. Service at La Residence was absolutely superb. The hotel is well staffed and everyone we met was helpful, friendly, professional, and a pleasure to meet. Overall, we enjoyed our stay hugely and La Residence is a faultless hotel.
