Property
Ahhh, Nice! This beautiful hotel is right in the thick of this cosmopolitan Mediterranean city. But have no fear — it still manages to be kid-friendly with large rooms, a great breakfast buffet and a rooftop pool that is open year round.

Location
The hotel is right on the water. Shops and cafes line the promenade along the beach and the old part of town is only a 10 minute walk. There is also a park a block away from the hotel that has a carousel. You will not be able to walk past unscathed.

Sleeps
2-4 per room. Adjacent rooms are available for bigger families.

Highlights
The roof pool was a huge hit with Chet. Even more so with us since it was adjacent to the bar. Can you say family-friendly?

Good to know
Prepare to pay for beach access. At least if you want a chair (which you will since it’s a stone beach). The tariff is a few Euro per person and, in my opinion, totally worth it unless you don’t mind stone-shaped bruises all over your butt.
