Holiday Inn Nice-Port St Laurent, an IHG Hotel

There are a few reasons I wouldn’t put more stars at the hotel. First is the hotel main photo is advertised with the sand beach and chairs. The MAIN REASON we chose this hotel is because it “doesn’t have” the rocks on the beach. To our surprise is that it cost 20 euro per person to use it. And for a kid too. That wasn’t specified anywhere in the remarks. If we knew the price we would go to this hotel. Second we almost got “pick pocketing” by employee. We left some ice cream in the lobby freezer and my sister and her kid went downstairs to pick it up. I stayed at the balcony while waiting. So she went to the receptionist and told them she would like to take the ice cream. The receptionist “sent the other employee “ (I forgot his name but I think it was Fredrick) to bring the ice cream to her. While I was at the balcony I saw the employee storm inside our room and he was looking what we have on the table and night stands. There was a wallet on the night stand and he picked it up and shook to see what’s in there and was about to open it when I walked inside and asked “what are you doing ? “ he said he didn’t speak English. So I went downstairs to talk to the other guy and he said it was a mistake and miss understanding. The manager wasn’t there at the time and the next day we just got a letter apologizing and was misunderstanding. I even brought the small wallet downstairs to show where he was about to go in and asked if needed we can get finger prints to prove it. HORRIBLE

We stayed for six nights. The family room was small and very noisy. The staff were very friendly. The beds were too soft and may not suit everyone. There are many restaurants in the nearby area. The beach is very quiet when compared to the one in promonade. I would recommend this hotel. Make sure you select the beach view and not the road and mountain view as it can be very noisy.

Had a great stay. The beach facilities are great and there is a cozy selection of beach-side restaurants. The hotel is located close to the bus stop at the CAP3000 shopping centre, and the closes train-station is also within waliking distance. The hotel is well located between Nice and Cannes. Our (non beach facing)room was not very big for a family of 4, I would rate it as OK. Staff was super friendly and very service minded! Breakfast was good.
