This is an incredibly beautiful (and very expensive) hotel. It's about 5 minutes drive to the old town of Nice. The sea view from most rooms in the hotel and the beautiful gardens of the hotel is so beautiful. The food is really good. The restaurant has sea view. The swimmingpool is beautiful and there also is a children's pool (but I haven't seen children there except our own). The staff is friendly and professional. There is all the confort you need in the rooms. The small rooms are not that small. They have a small private beach aswell, on the rocks, so no sand. I would recommend this hotel for those who are in search of confort and calm. http://www.palais-maeterlinck.com/
