"We stayed at Royal Antibes for a week in sunny September. Here’s a few tips for those who have booked/looking to book:
- There is a security deposit of 50€ per night which you pay upon arrival (alongside the full room payment if you have not pre paid), just make sure you include that in the budget for your holiday.
- If your flight arrives early pre check in/ late after check out there is a changing room & shower facility you can use that is very lovely and helpful.
- The spa/sauna/hot tub is available for 50mins per day upon availability. Just email the spa team in advance to secure a spot.
- The beach club is an extra expense but we would say it is worth the money. If it’s a hot day it’s a great vibe. Staff are lovely too.
- If the sea is swelling more than usual, note that the swimming area gathers a lot of debris/rubbish. You’ll have a nicer swimming experience if you go on a day when the sea is calm.
- Another thing to note on the beach club is that they only hold your bed until 1pm (if you show up afterwards there is a chance they will have reallocated your bed) so, if you’re planning on coming after 1pm, make sure you pop down and let them know.
- Although rooms are very clean, they are probably more similar to 3 star hotels we’ve stayed in instead of a 4 star. Saying that, prices in this area are expensive regardless and the proximity and walk into the old town is perfect.
All in all we had a really pleasant experience would definitely stay here again."
