Hôtel Bahia, Villeneuve Loubet

All the staff I encountered were wonderful, friendly and helpful. The room was clean and had all I needed for just my one night. I didn’t use any of the other amenities, but the pool looked nice and leads right out to the beach; so it’s a nice location. The hotel is also very secure with the safety precautions they take, so I felt very safe here. A nice hotel for the price point.

We have spent almost a week here and let me tell you: some of the previous review were very injust to this three-star hotel. No bugs, ants or other animals, the staff was VERY gentle and kind, and fulfilled all our wishes (extra towels, other requests). There were some minor patches of mould in the shower, but nothing worrying. There is a key thing to know beforehand: the building itself is shaped as a triangle, the point looking to the seaside. There is a side looking to the pool and garden - that is mostly preserved for apartments bought or rented at a different vendor or site, and for smaller or double rooms with balcony. This might seem like a good idea, as it has a better sight, but they can be noisy, mostly because of the pool. The smaller and cheaper rooms w balcony are located on the front, which do not have a great sight (to the parking lot) but overall not tragic either. The best side probably was our side of the triangle, a room with garden and a small entrance. It was previously looking to a construction site, which is now a beautiful neighbouring hotel and provides some shade. The only downside that occasionally there is a smell of fuel coming from the nighbouring jetski rental, but nothing unbearable fortunately. The garden rooms are barely a 100 euros more expensive than small rooms and it was a huge upgrade. The rooms are equipped with AC and were quite cozy. Breakfast was included in the price and was very good quality and plenty. Previous complaints were about the local beach restaurant. Yes, it is nothing extraordinaire, but it is cheaper (cocktails are with 1 or 2 euros, meals as well) and staff was more friendly than all in other venues in the area. Also if you don't like it, there are other venues literally every 30 meters (La Playa, Watiki, Rosy whatever), but keep in mind they are 30% more expensive. You are welcome to try them all out. Also on the prices of sunbeds and accessories: It is told beforehand to give 20 deposit for the gate key to the area - a standard for all hotels nowadays. Sunbeds and umbrellas are the cheapest here and it is exclusive to the hotel beach area - meaning you won't be harassed by impoverished locals (unlike the public beach) and it is quite spacious compared to nearby sunbed areas. Some local pavements were littered by dog feces, but that is an overall problem of Villeneuve-Loubet local government, and the staff was eager to clean, whenever we indicated. We thank the staff for letting us stay longer at the pool area after checkout, also the shown tremendous patience towards guests showing up at 9.59 for the breakfast (7-10am). We wished we could stay more, but sadly the hotel was fully booked. Overall the hotel could benefit if in every season start (March-May?), the rooms would be demoulded and the outside would be handled by either a water pressure cleaning or a bit of paint. That would easily give more just ratings to this place. Also people bring in sand on their footwear which is the reason of plumbing issues in the showers, that could be sanctioned somehow. We almost managed to do that, but luckily averted the problem I give 5 stars for earlier injust 1 star reviews, this place is waaaay better than the commentary it got.

A nice, but a bit out-dated hotel especially on the bathrooms. However, it was clean. The breakfast was decent with boiled eggs, coffer, yoghurt, bread, buns etc. The pool area is really nice. Water on the pool was quite cold in the beginning of May but some people were still swimming. There is a big supermarket on the other side of the road
