The Maybourne Riviera

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!

Spectacular view of the Riviera coastline, and very accessible by car. Our driver, Moumine, recommended this wonderful spot for an afternoon glass of wine.

Poor service on the Terrace Bar. There were 5 of us drinking cocktails. The waiter wasted too much time talking and was very slow. To order our 2nd drinks we waited 10 mins before we could get his attention. We were surprised such a “prestigious” hotel has sub standard service. I would not go out of my way to go there again.

Absolutely stunning property, with a level of. service and staff like nothing else. Christina was absolutely fabulous as well as every individual we dealt with. It is really an incredibly unique place which must be experienced at least once. The rooms are beyond, the service 5 star ++, the food incredible and the entire vibe is very special. Would recommend in a second
