Our all-day water-side waiter Nico, his brother who carved our fresh sea bass at lunch (didn't catch his name!), and Jeremy at the check-in desk were all incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. This kind of service is rare and truly appreciated. I can't wait to come back tomorrow! J'ai passé une journée parfaite sur les transats de la plage des Marinières !

Nico, son frère et Jérémy étaient incroyablement accueillants, attentionnés et chaleureux. Ils se sont assurés que nous ne manquions de rien et ont vraiment rendu notre journée inoubliable. Un service comme celui-ci est rare et précieux. J'ai hâte de revenir demain !

Fair prices for a stunning view on a sun bed right on the beach. Forgot your towel? No worries, they can supply that for you. Cant handle too much sun?

Hors d' oeuvres, and fun cocktails also at your convenience, brought to you right to your sun station. My partner and I got there late morning, and left early afternoon to explore the rest of Nice, but were delighted to hear that we were welcome to comeback before 6 and reclaim our sun beds. Shocked to see such little reviews on such a charming place. Definitely looking forward to coming back soon.

After dinner I grabbed another drink and found myself right across from Ponchettes Beach, so I decided to walk over and it actually turned into such a nice evening. The beach and promenade were full of people relaxing, hanging out, and taking in the gorgeous sunset. The vibe was laid-back and the colors over the water were beautiful. I'm glad I wandered over instead of heading straight to the hotel. It ended up being the perfect way to end the night.

They had the electro music blaring through multiple loudspeakers and the food was average and quite expensive: The ravioli with truffled oil were extremely creamy and heavy. The chicken was average , the burger came with a mayo based sauce. The branzino was ok , cooked well but expensive at $30 ( we are at the beach after all); I would have liked a starch like rice or potatoes to make it a more complete meal The fish soup came with the usual accouterments ( toasted bread , aioli and cheese) but lacked depth I was told that the steak tartare was good The sorbets were too sweet In all a hefty bill for average food and a headache because of the music 2.5 stars( for branzino and steak tartare)

The waiter then charged me there and told me he would bring the drinks to us. Please remember the beach here is not sand it is full of pebbles of all sizes. Ouch!
