honeymoon in france.

we are going on our honeymoon this august to france. We are visiting paris and either st- tropez or st-jean-cap-ferrat. we are looking for a good hotel in the riviera tha ha a good pool and beach access.

Try the Royal Riviera Hotel. They have a private beach and it is lovely. Very romantic. Another, if money is no object, is Chateau de la Chevre D%26#39;Or which is actually in Eze,just a short drive from St. Jean and is perched high on the hill with an incredible view. It has a fabulous pool but no beach access.

|||

Great choices all

Hotel La Voile d%26#39;Or at St Jean on Cap Ferrat, overlooking the harbour and looking out to Italy is the most beautiful setting I know here

|||

Does La voile d or have its own beach?

|||

If you can afford it, I would recommend the Grand Hotel du Cap Ferrat. It does not have a beach but does have a wonderful infinity pool and access to the sea for swimming. They have been rebuilding the garden for the last few months but all will be completed in the next few weeks. The Royal Riviera beach is a small area at the end of the public beach, both of which were closed a few months ago for unspecified health reasons. No other hotel on the Cap has a beach but there are a number of small beaches in the area and they are never busy, even in August.

St Tropez is almost exclusively a beach holiday place with little of cultural interest in the area, while Cap Ferrat is within a few miles of places such as Nice, Eze and Monaco.

My view would be that if your main aim is a relaxing beach and water sports holiday, you would be better off in St Tropez.

|||

Is there any hotels in st trpoez that have their own private beach and pool. How far away is st. tropez to monaco.

|||

St Tropez is quite hard to get to, no train station. Cap Ferrat is full of rich people and very quiet but near Nice if you want the bright lights. You can actually walk to Nice along the coast from Cap F.

|||

It has its own swimming pool.

Having your own beach in the golden triangle of Villefranche - Beaulieu - Cap Ferrat would add approximately a million dollars to your bill.

If you really want a hotel deluxe with its own beach you want something very rare - the Hotel du Cap Eden Roc at Cap d%26#39;Antibes (where the film stars stay during Cannes Filmfest, and Hotel Belles Rives at Juan le Pins (F Scott Fitzgerald fame)are two that come to mind - at a price!

thanks for everyones help. We are thinking of staying at Royal Riviera . Has anyone stated there? What is the best room like?

|||

Yes, we stayed there twice. We got the cheapest room each time but we also just walked in without reservations and weren%26#39;t on our honeymoon. The rooms were quite small but very well appointed and the bathrooms were huge and wonderful. I think you can take a virtual tour of the rooms on their website www.royal-riviera.com.

Has anyone stayed the Royal Riviera ? This is our first time to the riviera. Would anyone recommend st tropez over st jean for a honeymoon?
