Hotel Juana

Ok small hotel but website is misleading and most facilities advertised belong to its sister hotel. Nice buffet breakfast. Parking listed as on site but in reality they use a separate parking lot 100m away. Polite staff. Pool area needs an uplift and has no shower. I stayed on the 3rd floor which is listed as sea view. You can just manage to see the sea above the tops of pine trees. You will need at least a 4th floor room or above for a true sea view. The room itself was quite nice. Probably a good 4 star hotel but not 5.

This hotel is a quirky little place to stay. It’s cute. It’s got lovely staff. It’s got an eclectic courtyard. Interiors are interesting and don’t offer the normal bland grey/beige colour scheme. The pillows were not at all nice. Foam and cheap. But on request the reception provided better feather ones. Nothing was a problem. The pool area is cute. Not fancy but comfortable and chilled. The hotel is well located and you can walk to many places and nearby Antibes. IMPORTANT TO NOTE: I wouldn’t book here if you like going to bed early. Every night there seemed to be an event of some kind in a purpose built stadium directly outside the hotel. This time is was a Padel Tennis tournament. Apparently it is followed by reggae week, then a jazz festival. It’s a summer venue and it’s right bang opposite the hotel (front side). The noise is quite something. Spectacularly loud. For the nights we were there it was over by midnight but if you’ve got kids or you like to sleep early, I would avoid this hotel. Also being so central in Juan, there are numerous ‘city’ noises around. Church bells, cars, late night revellers. This didn’t bother me but I wouldn’t stay here if you like a quiet environment. I wouldn’t want to mark this hotel down for the noise pollution. It’s really not their fault. And they’re incredibly sweet and kind about everything. I would stay here again.

Great location. Hôtel is clean and immaculately presented in every way. Our room had everything you need. Air conditioning was efficient and the room very comfortable. The reception staff were maybe the friendliest and most helpful staff I’ve had the pleasure to meet. The breakfast staff maybe not so much. We had a bit of trouble on three out of our four day stay, and were made to feel like criminals because our rate was not inclusive of breakfast. Sign before you eat! And, crazily, we were told on the second day we couldn’t have a pot of Americano coffee because the hotel only had 4 pots and they were all in use! The breakfast thing is the only reason I award 4 not 5. Maybe I was just unlucky.
