We enjoyed a long weekend at the Hotel Belle Rives in April 2012. It was a joy to be in Juan Les Pins without the crowds and I would thoroughly recommend going off peak if at all possible. We didn't have the same problems with noise on the terrace that some other reviewers have noted. Despite a function being held... More

The Hotel Belles Rives certainly is in a beautiful location, right on the sea with gorgeous views and walking distance to the main area of Juan-les-Pins. The public areas are very stylish and the rooms are quite charming, if a bit small. I do however, think that the hotel is surviving on a past reputation and does not have the... More

We often go to Antibes and we decided to try the Belles Rives. The hotel is the former villa of Francis Scott Fitzgerald and everything reminds you the roaring 20s. We don't like the Art deco but here everything is coherent and the result is one of nicest places we have ever stayed at. Views are terrific and staff friendly. More

The hotel is good, the staff are polite and attentive and its in a great location with fantastic views. However our stay was some what ruined by the below incident. We left the room one morning and it was serviced. On return a bottle of aftershave was missing from the bathroom. This wasnt a major problem but the frustration was... More

Hard to know where to start here. So often in hotels like this, the staff are incredibly stiff, stuffy and efficiently professional. Not here! The staff are great. Genuinely friendly and down to earth, whilst still being consumate professionals. The views are amazing, the staff always made you feel like you were the only guests they had, The rooms are... More

I spent 3 nights at the Belles Rives with my wife and our little 18-month-old daughter. The look of the hotel is refreshingly different from the mass of contemporary John-Pawson-style hotels - lobby, bar, terrace, restaurant, rooms, corridors - all very chic. Just the reception got a bit too small to make the overall impression perfect. Impeccable service. Pity that... More

Everything about the hotel is 4 stars, no idea how it's rated 5 stars. Small, very tired reception, quite small rooms, smell old (and the wardrobe was smelling of stale humidity). We went for the very expensive dinner (more than 200 euros for 2, with 2 glasses of wine) by their executive chef at their restaurant. Food was nothing close... More

The Belle Rives is a fabulous hotel in a stunning location with a wonderful 1920's atmosphere. It has a very intimate feel and the staff fall over themselves to pander to your every whim. The view from the terraces is quite exquisite and would take some beating. We will certainly return. More

I love this hotel. Still glowing in art deco glory, straight out of the Great Gatsby. really only a summer hotel so you get the benefit of breakfast and dinner on the terraces with wonderful views of the sea, and the beach bar , restaurant, and sunbathing all day. You must book a table to eat at any reasonable time... More
