What can I say but the Anantara is a fantastic property. We ha e stayed there five or six time and I couldn’t recommend enough this hotel. I’m originally from NICE, so I know the city and how to navigate it between site swing, shopping and the beach. This is the ideal location, everything is 5m by foot. The plus is that you are in a very quiet, premium and secured street so you have zero worries to have. I was there this last time for a funeral and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful and proactive. If you want comfort, a little luxury and peace of mind, this is the ONE.
