Not a good location. The hotel states that it provides a city bus to drop off at the beach/city etc. They neglect to tell you that the bus only runs when the driver is available. We enquired after the bus 2 days in a row, to be told that there was no driver. In any case the bus doesn't run between 1pm and 6pm. It just seems to be an as and when service so don't rely on it for your 15 minute walk into the town/beach. Don't be sold by the pool, it is tiny. The rooms are too small, badly laid out & stuffy. No balcony. No atmosphere. Some staff friendly, some not - they just couldn't be bothered. If it's price that attracted you to this hotel, you're better off paying slightly less for a 3 star - the quality will probably be better anyway!

Noone thought to tell me the restaurant is completely closed in December, therefore no room service. Nothing. The area is not particularly salubrious either so you don't want to be searching those streets by yourself. All in all not a great experience - don't be taken in by the 4* rating. Ok for a 2* or possibly a 3* at a push.

El hotel está a unos 15 minutos andando de la playa de la Croissette. Está muy bien. Tiene unas buenas habitaciones. El baño un poco pequeño. Tiene un gran defecto: el barman del restaurante por la tarde. Decepcionante el trato hacia los clientes por parte del barman del restaurante del hotel. Malas caras y eso que por dos cervezas te cobran 15 €. que no es poco. ni que te las regalaran. El hotel está muy bien pero el barman lo peor que he visto en trato al público.

Estuvimos tres noches en el Hotel Amarante en el mes de octubre 2006. El hotel guarda una buena relación calidad precio. Quizás el problema es que, aunque se puede ir perfectamente andando desde el centro, es una calle bastante larga, pero no es problema. Las habitaciones están muy bien, son grandes, nuevas y limpias. El desayuno es bueno, no demasiado extenso el buffet, pero tiene lo fundamental: huevos revueltos, queso, jamon, panes, croissants(Se los tuvimos que pedir el primer dia porque al llegar ya no había y los trajeron al momento con una sonrisa. El personal es muy amable. Tiene un pequeño bar donde tomar algo, pero es muy pequieño, y alrededor no hay sitios de copas, aunque sí hay sitios para picar algo y supermercados. Lo mejor, el restaurante. Cenamos un par de veces allí, y el salmón está insuperable. Volveríamos sin duda.

We've just returned from a five-day stay at the Amarante. I've stayed there before several times on business - and it's an adequte but unexciting business hotel. But I returned this time with my family because we found a very good deal on the web. The first point to make is that this is not what one would expect from a four-star hotel. It's probably two or three star by most peoples' standards. However in Europe the ratings reflect facilities not quality. So because the Amarante has a swimming pool, bar and restaurant it gets four stars. The rooms are small but were adequate for two adults plus a child on a folding bed. The bathroom is cramped but the separate toilet is unfeasible small. Although our room faced the main road the soundproofing was fine and we were not aware of the traffic. Like another reviewer, we were asked not to use the car park because our hire car as too big, so we were offered a space on the forecourt in front of the hotel which was fine. I agree the breakfast is massively overpriced but there are plenty of cafes or groceries nearby that provide a more economical option. Overall we were happy that we got value for money. But if I'd been paying full rate I might have thought differently
