Vista Palace Hotel & Beach Resort - Monte Carlo View

Vista Palace Hotel & Beach Resort - Monte Carlo View sits on the rocky peninsula of Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, near Monaco, and the view lives up to the name: a run of Mediterranean that reaches toward Monte Carlo from every one of the 65 rooms and suites spread across ten floors. Studios run 42 to 50 square metres, suites climb from 60 up to 220, and a handful of duplex suites come with a private pool built into the terrace rather than a shared one downstairs. A garden of paved paths, citrus trees and Provençal herbs sits between the building and the sea, and the spa runs seven treatment rooms alongside a sauna and steam room. What separates it from the resorts further along the coast is the private beach, reached by a free shuttle that runs March to October. Several restaurants span French to Japanese cooking, and a ballroom with a purpose-built outdoor tent handles events, parties and conferences. Staff speak multiple languages, the restaurant and common areas are wheelchair accessible, and check-in runs from three with check-out at noon. Children 12 and under stay free using existing bedding. Breakfast runs about 20 euros a head, a rollaway bed 50 euros a night, and pets travel for a separate fee, on top of the 150-euro damage deposit taken at check-in. Child care here means an on-call babysitter rather than a structured kids' club, which suits a couple wanting quiet over company more than a family wanting activities. The one constant across every category is the view: a studio at 42 square metres shares the same run of sea as suites over five times the size. On the rocky point at Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, every room looks toward Monte Carlo, and a few duplex suites come with a private pool of their own. The private beach runs on a free shuttle, March to October, better suited to a couple than a family chasing a kids' club.
