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.

I am beyond disappointed with our experience at Riviera. I had booked a table well in advance for my husband and me to celebrate our anniversary at Riviera restaurant on 8th of May at 19:00. Having visited this restaurant before, I specifically requested a nice table in hopes of having an unforgettable, special evening. When we arrived, the staff at the reception told us our reservation had been cancelled. I even showed them the digital confirmation on my phone as proof of the existing booking, but the receptionist flatly refused to honor it or provide us with a table. It was an embarrassing ordeal as we had to leave the line due to people waiting behind us. Not very professional since I love visiting all the maybourne hotels in London and their service is impeccable! So a huge disappointment from the French maybourne hospitality! I also have another reservation on the 15th June 2026 but I have resentment in case this type of service happens again! What hurt the most wasn't just the technical error, it was the attitude. I kindly explained it was our anniversary, but the staff was cold and dismissive. They offered no solution other than telling us they "could do nothing" and sending us away to a different restaurant on 14th floor. While the staff at the second location were friendly and apologized for the situation, the damage was already done. The ABC couldn’t give us the table with the best view as they had been fully booked for it. Again, thanks to the Riviera restaurant. Despite my repeated mentions of our anniversary, there was absolutely no acknowledgment from the staff. No "Happy Anniversary," no small complimentary gesture, not even a simple candle or a small cake. It felt like our special milestone meant nothing to the team. How can I trust Riviera to host a larger group or a milestone birthday if they cannot manage a simple anniversary dinner? When a venue fails this significantly, what "guarantee" or "currency" of trust can management provide to ensure this never happens again? A beautiful view or a nice menu cannot make up for a complete lack of reliability and hospitality. I expected a celebratory atmosphere but left feeling ignored and undervalued as a guest.

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
