Will be visiting Nice with my husband in mid/late May for 7 days. We plan to make Nice our base for all the local day trips. I have personally been to Nice before in mid April and loved staying at the Grimaldi Hotel. However, my husband would like a larger room, be walking distance to the beach with preferably a pool (since the water may be too cold for a dip) and maybe even a spa.
I read that some hotels, probably near the promenade, give guests access to some of the beach clubs. Does anyone have any recommendations for this type of hotel? We're aware it's during the Cannes film festival and prices are high. I'm hoping to keep it under $500/night. Thank you in advance!
Lastly, if anyone thinks 1 hotel for 7 nights will get dull, please let me know. Last time I went, we also stayed in Villefranche which was more pricey and wish we would have just stayed in Nice. Our current plans for day trips are Villefranche Sur Mer, Menton, Monaco, Cannes (aware the film festival will make it super busy but we still want to go) and Antibes.
