We didn't expect this Hotel to be part of a large secure compound consisting of villas, apartments, the Hotel, and a harbour. The security gates are manned 24 hours a day and a pass is necessary to get in. It is all set on a steep slope down to the water, so walking is either down a steep slope or up a steep slope. It is also ok to drive within the compound and there is plenty of parking around, though I wonder if there is enough in high season. We have just come back and the whole area was very quiet with most villas and apartments unoccupied. There is a heated swimming pool at the Hotel and another salt water pool and restaurant down at the harbour. The restaurant down there closed for the winter last Sunday which meant that the only restaurant for the entire compound was the one in the Hotel, and this restaurant stopped serving lunch for the winter last Sunday. So there was nowhere which did lunch which meant that a trip to the nearest town was necessary for that. The nearest town is Theoule sur mer which is definitely not a walk away (unless you are a very keen hill walker). It is a hilly drive of about 4 kilometres, which is why you need a car for this location. Also there are no shops within the compound.
That said the Hotel was excellent with beautiful rooms which were well equipped and with lovely views. All facilities were excellent The grounds are maintained immaculately and it is a lovely peaceful place to stay.
