I love castel plage since the nineties when I used to spend my holidays in Nice. I remember at the reception a lovely woman up-dressed with big earrings smiling to you (she changed a pair every day!) She wasn't there this time. :( Ok times are changing,perhaps is not now like it used to be even if prices are still... More

We spent two days at Castel Plage and I can honestly say that it was the worst two days in Nice. It's horrendously overpriced and we tried time and again to track a waiter down, without any luck. If you want to spend a great day amongst lovely, good looking people, with a fantastic menu and great music - go... More

Pretty pricy especially when you add the cost of the sun lounger and you can't bring your own food even though your paying for the lounger, but...the food was totally excellent, very generous portions and great quality food, so although you'd have to be wealthy to lunch there every day, it's worth at least one lunch.
