The Maybourne Riviera

The Maybourne Riviera is a true 5-star property. With rates starting around €2,500/night for entry-level rooms, expectations are understandably sky-high—but I am pleased to say it was worth every single penny. Here is a breakdown of our experience: The Rooms & Views The View: Arguably the most breathtaking, impressive view you will find anywhere on the French Riviera. Space: The rooms are incredibly spacious, perfectly accommodating our large family group. Personalized Touches: The attention to detail is remarkable. The staff prepared a personalized bib, embroidered with our baby’s name for the room—a beautiful, thoughtful gesture. Dining & Amenities Breakfast: An absolute must-do every morning. Outstanding quality. Poolside: Do not miss the pizzas by the pool; they were fantastic. The Beach Club: The hotel offers a complimentary transfer to their private beach, La Môme. While the lunch itself was less to our personal liking, the overall vibe and atmosphere at the beach are exactly what you want for a Riviera holiday. Spa & Wellness: The spa is exceptionally luxurious, and the massages were top-tier. Service & Logistics On-Site Service: Impeccable. The staff took incredible care of us throughout our entire 4-night stay, making us feel highly valued. Monaco Transfers: The complimentary shuttle service to and from Monaco is a massive plus and seamless to use. The One Hiccup: Our airport pickup was unfortunately quite messy. Despite requesting a baby seat in advance, the car arrived without one. Pro Tip for Future Guests Because the price tag here is high, expectations are naturally elevated, and it's easy to notice some guests letting that translate into disrespect toward the team. Be kind to the staff! A simple hello, a warm smile, or a quick bit of pleasant chit-chat goes a very long way. The team works incredibly hard, and treating them with basic respect makes it easy for them to remember you in a good way and look after you even better. Final Verdict Despite the rocky start at the airport, the Maybourne Riviera completely won us over. The combination of jaw-dropping views, generous room sizes, and deeply personalized service makes this a world-class destination. We would absolutely return.

The whole stay at the Maybourne Riviera was outstanding. You are at first captured by the incredible architecture and the warmth of welcome from the doormen and reception. The views for on our amazing accommodation is breathtaking. The room encapsulates everything you can possibly imagine in a modern luxurious space. The service at breakfast , dinner and bar were top notch. The pool area and attention are another level. A must go !

stayed at The Maybourne Riviera and was extremely disappointed with the level of service. At 00:15 at night, there was loud construction noise coming from the room above. This is unacceptable for a hotel of this level and effectively a violation of nighttime peace. When I contacted reception, the staff not only failed to resolve the issue but also stated that renovation work was ongoing and could not be stopped even at night. Even more shocking was the “solution” offered — to move to another room at 1 AM. Instead of ensuring basic conditions for rest, I was effectively forced to pack my belongings and move around the hotel with my luggage in the middle of the night due to a problem created by the hotel itself. Such treatment of guests is completely unacceptable, especially for a 5-star hotel. Nighttime noise, ignoring complaints, and shifting inconvenience onto the guest are serious violations of hospitality standards. I strongly do not recommend this hotel to anyone expecting peace, comfort, and professional service.

Stunning view for taking photos — and that’s where the positives end. Service: zero. Professionalism: zero. If you’re looking to spend a lot for terrible service, this is the place

The Maybourne Riviera is a spectacular hotel. I’ve had my doubts about the afterlife, but when my wife and I had completed our initial tour of our Infinity Pool Duplex room, I thought St. Peter was going to emerge, tap us on the shoulder, and say, “Congratulations, you made it!” Just heavenly. We first stayed at the Maybourne a year ago after a visit six months earlier when we were awestruck having an afternoon cocktail at Le 300 - the view of the Côte d’Azur coastline from the terrace or the floor-to-ceiling windows is unforgettable. We have stayed in some pretty upscale hotels around the world, and the Maybourne Riviera is our favourite. And that includes the overwater bungalows at the Four Seasons in Bora Bora - our Infinity Pool Duplex room eclipsed that experience. And it was not just the room - the staff is superlative. They imbue a sense of happy serenity, a wonderful complement to the unmatched views and the architectural mastery of the hotel. The memorable touches like the steady parade of little gifts that were left for us in the room speak to the thoughtfulness that has gone into making a stay at the Maybourne Riviera a luxury retreat. Our thanks to all the staff at the Maybourne Riviera for making our stay a weekend that we will NEVER forget!
