Grand-Hôtel du Cap-Ferrat, A Four Seasons Hotel

Cons: The kids’ club was located far from the rooms and next to the beach club, which was very inconvenient. The cable car was out of service during our stay, so we couldn’t use it. Instead, we had to climb a very long and steep staircase to get there, which felt unsafe for small children. Because of this, it was hard to leave the kids at the club on their own, as the location itself didn’t feel safe and family-friendly.

High expectations different reality

I wish i could give this maximum stars review as this was always on my bucket list places to stay at… Check in done by Hanna was professional and very informative. Expected as in many luxury places check in to be done while being seated in the bar but here its done standing and offered welcome drink on the desk. As the room was not ready we went to have lunch in only restaurant close to reception ( other one is on the pool). La Veranda beautiful location but lunch served on the outside under pine trees where occasionally we get bugs and wind blowing in our face. Super uncomfortable to enjoy its beauty when day is super windy and cold. Food is average with accent on their garden veggies but same menu lunch/dinner super annoying. Drunk champagne glass in tiniest glasses in the world. Service was ok not the five star worth as expected. We were escorted to our room that was located in building next to the main one and this was a huge shock for me. A different style, colors and the state of this building is maximum some three star motel area. Its modern they said but had some hanging lamps around that dont match the main building- not in color and not in style. Entrance Room doors barely closed and room inside looked very ugly. Not something expected from Cap Ferrat. Bathroom without enough towels, being 3 we always had to call HSK to bring us more towels. To clean all the bugs we killed and found on every corner of the room. Hanging dust chunks while staying in the bed and looking at the ceiling didnt give an impression of excellent cleaning. When heading to breakfast we encountered mice… a baby one so the whole family is most probably wondering around our rooms too. Spa is an avarage one with almost no facilities but with excellent welcoming staff. Breakfast was very good with Theodore being an amazing waiter all the stay. Some difficulties on last day when breakfast moved on the windy outside area but staff were nice to fix all. The star of the stay is the pool area where we were always greeted by Tom! Such a superb host and best representative of a five star luxury approach and genuine care. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcomed, greeting us and every other guest that would arrive at the pool. He loves the place and his amazing personality that shines positivity and warmth does make the difference. GM of the hotel was also very present and also willing to hear of the issues encountered during the stay. We d probably return to the place but next time try to book only room in the main building. The nature the walks and position of the hotel its priceless. And this hotel has best pastry chef! He s amazing and all and every dessert superb!

Good but not worth the price

Pros (1) Pool is heated at 29 degrees (2) Good check in experience (3) Room has extra gifts and free soft drinks (4) New kids club is good (5) Quality of breakfast food was very good but buffet range was not that wide (6) Quality of dinner food was good Cons (1) Hotel forgot to charge car despite saying they would do so. Luckily, the next hotel could charge the car (2) Pool area is rather crowded. Could by because there is not so much to do in neighborhood (3) Room was really expensive at 4000 plus in June and not really worth it for that price (4) Wines are very overpriced, can be 5 times retail price. Sommeliar was pushing domaine romaine conti.
