If you are trying to find a totally top French Riviera Hotel then you need not look beyond the Chateau de Chevre d’Or in the very pretty village of Eze, it has possibly the best perspectives in all of the Mediterranean. Its amazingly elegant rooms and suites are scattered throughout the village. It is the perfect hideaway for a couple looking for a long romantic weekend away, or a romantic vacation. You’ll discover the service is astounding, and far better than you’ll find in supposedly top hotels around the world and this doesn’t include other French Riviera Hotels. Let yourself be spoilt, and you probably will not need to go out of the hotel.

There is a wonderful pool to chill out by, which is the floor below the restaurant and some of the balcony rooms one floor up from that, or you can just lie around on the balcony and luxuriate in the view, or just sit in your Jacuzzi . The Chateau Chevre d’Or is also famous for its cuisine, and you need to eat one evening meal there. There is one thing for certain you may know that by staying in the Chevre d’Or you made the best selection possible of a French Riviera Hotel, and you won’t want to leave.

The Horned Dorset Primavera is little, hidden away, and just about perfect, a great description for a first class hotel, to be found on the peaceful underdeveloped west coast of Costa Rico. Sitting on a hillside, in eight acres with what knowledgeable people believe is the best restaurant in the Caribbean, the Horned Dorset also boasts some of the best guest rooms as well. Numbering twenty two, the villas are scattered round the grounds in the way of a Mediterranean village, and each is completely private.

Plunge Pools, 2 storey villas, and high quality furnishings make a contribution to an almost unbelievable ambience. Add to this no kids under ten years old , no radios, no televisions, this is a real escape from the 21st century. The Horned Dorset is simply a world away from your standard Caribbean Resort, and completely lacks any hustle and bustle.

If you can choose only one vacation spot it must be the Indian Ocean, and for our ultimate destination in this group of best vacation places the Seychelles is our destination.

The Indian Ocean Lodge is on the western coast of Praslin island on Grande Anse beach the biggest beach on the island, one long stretch of putty like white powder sand. The location is just beautiful. There are 32 rooms in 8 double level blocks and each has a four poster bed, and the most incredibly big shower heads, plus views that are virtually impossible to believe from the balconies.

The hotel while not five star is terribly clean and well looked after with friendly staff. The food in the restaurant is fish based, but you can easily eat out if you want variety, and it would be really sad to go to Praslin and not go exploring.

Remember that Praslin is terribly quiet, there isn’t a lot to do, though being close to the equator you will be delighted to enjoy the free non motorized water activities. The Seychelles are a pricey place for a holiday but this super small hotel makes it possible.
