We stayed here in August 2009 and we stayed in the same room as the one in HiJackItlays review. Everything that he said is correct. The hallway is narrow and quite dark, the room is small with little room around the bed and there are bars on the window and blue plastic containers (probably for something to do with the pool) outside the bedroom window. But I have to include the positives which are although it was a bit dated and slightly tatty in places, everything was very clean, the bed was comfortable, the staff very friendly and the pool was great with plenty of sun-beds and towels etc. Also the entire en-suite bathroom was brand new and very tastefully decorated which definitely made up for the dated room. We never ate there because it is so close to the town that it is only a 2 minute walk to breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The reason I am writing this is because I think HiJackItlays review is only focusing on negatives. In 2007 we stayed in the lovely Hotel St Valerie which is on the same street and everything was perfect (except for a ridiculously small pool). It is a lovely place but it is very expensive at approx 250 Euros per night. But hey it's the south of France and very close to Cape D'Antibes so you are going to have to pay a price for any hotel you stay in.

We loved the South of France and particularly Juan les Pins relaxed and slightly kitch character and it's fabulous location for exploring the whole region so we decided ot go back in 2009 but we were on more of a budget that time so we chose Hotel Juan Beach.

My point is at 150 Euros per night, Hotel Juan Beach is very good value in one of the most expensive regions in Europe to holiday and we would definitely stay there again but if youre looking for the perfect room, perfect hotel perfect view and perfect location then I'm sure there are a few hotels in Juan les Pins that will deliver for many times the price you pay here.

This hotel was very welcoming and the staff extremely helpful. It is in a quiet street, yet within a very short walk of the seafront and shops. The pool area was very relaxing! The breakfast was very generous and tasty simple lunches are available. The bedrooms were rather small and old fashioned, but the beds were so comfortable and with the blackout blinds it was a good night's sleep.

My mom, sister, and I stayed here in the middle of June. Comparatively, it was a nice place, but compared to the 5 stars next door it seems a little old. The staff was extremely friendly and quick to help anyone. They don't have many food choices and the drinks were made with too much alcohol, but we still had fun lying out by the pool. The rooms were fairly clean, but still felt slightly dirty, probably because the hotel feels old, and the bathrooms are tiny. The Internet is free; you just have to be in a spot where you can get it. The town of Juan Les Pins is a lot of fun with lots of restaurants and some great shopping. There are beaches nearby, but they are really for the big hotels on the coast. It did look like you could pay to use them for a day though, but the pool and chairs at the hotel worked well enough for lying out. This place is a fairly good deal for the money.

stayed 5 nights here very relaxing freindly staff great loation if you want 5 star its not for you but if you want clean rooms great location and pool area its good value no lift for 3 floors only drawback would go back for sure
