BLV The beach was OK, but the beach club and ambience made up for it. There is an Olympic size pool there on the water(shared by the Hermitage,Hotel d'Paris etc)The beaches are rocky with grass and cement like promenades. Great place for people viewing. Staying at the hotel allows access to spa, healthclub, casino (European salons) at the other hotels. There is a nice resaturant out on the water at the hotel.
