Le Vieux Rocher sur Vallauris

A great find here for a perfect personal birthday gift; we'll definitely be back!

A superb setting, attentive service, and a top-notch team.

We purchased two vouchers through Groupon, each for two sun loungers with two parasols and a total of four daily cocktails. At the entrance, the staff initially seemed a bit unattentive, but everything worked out well in the end, and a staff member showed us to our loungers. The beach club is located right next to the Monsieur Pablo Beach Club, with another beach club in between. The location is truly beautiful: the beach is well-maintained, and the sea was very clean. To the left and right of the beach clubs, there are also public beach areas for those who simply want to swim and sunbathe. Unfortunately, we didn't eat or drink anything other than the cocktails included in the voucher. Although we were only there from about 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM, a single waiter came to our loungers during those three hours to ask if we wanted to order anything. The service could definitely be more attentive – certainly in the club's own interest, as this would likely result in significantly more orders. The loungers were relatively close together, but that was still acceptable for us. The biggest drawback, unfortunately, was the lounger cushions. Ours were completely worn out. Especially in the lower back area, they sagged quite a bit. It was so uncomfortable that we left after about three hours, partly because we were experiencing lower back pain. Of course, I can't say whether we, as Groupon customers, received older or lower-quality loungers, or whether the cushions are generally in this condition. In any case, both of our loungers were in dire need of replacement. There are public parking spaces with ticket machines directly in front of the club. However, these were completely full on Sunday. Therefore, we used the VIP parking lot right outside. This only cost €5, including reservation, and was a very good alternative for us.

The private beach was fantastic, the beach attendants were incredibly friendly and attentive – thank you to them! The restaurant at lunchtime was excellent, the meat was delicious. I highly recommend it; the waitresses were always smiling and very attentive.

Great place, very friendly staff, clean and quiet beach, excellent food, I highly recommend it.

Second time at this place, pleasant staff and beautiful beach. Very good food.

A superb day on August 15th from 10:30 am to 5 pm. We booked through Groupon for two people at €25 per mattress, including two welcome cocktails. Everything was perfect, from the welcome to the location and the service! A young and friendly team, all smiles. Lunch was delicious; I had a salmon poke bowl and my husband had a cheeseburger and fries. Extremely tasty and generous portions. I highly recommend it! We'll definitely be back!

Hello, first, a quick comment to thank Anis for ensuring customers have the best possible experience. The service is fast on the beach and attentive to customers – in short, top-notch. Regarding the restaurant experience, it was quite good. We were a table of four, and I ordered salmon tartare with coriander, which wasn't specified, so I couldn't eat it. I sent it back, and I waited 35 minutes for my carpaccio because they were out of tartare and all my friends had finished eating. However, I would like to thank them for the gesture of goodwill they made nonetheless. A pleasant day despite the minor hiccup. See you soon 🙃

Excellent meal and outstanding service from Chloé. Thank you!

A day that will remain etched in our memories! There are places where you simply come to spend a day at the beach… and then there are places like Le Vieux Rocher, where you leave with truly unforgettable memories. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by an exceptionally kind team: smiling, available, attentive, and always ready to help with a natural ease. You immediately sense that the well-being of the guests is a priority. The setting is magnificent: a perfectly maintained private beach, crystal-clear water, comfortable sun loungers, and an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere, without ever being over the top. Everything invites you to slow down and savor the moment. But the real highlight of the day has a name: Moussa, the chef. I ordered a flank steak with fries and a salad. What arrived at the table far exceeded our expectations. The flank steak was remarkably tender, perfectly seared, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The portion was generous, proof that here they don't try to impress with the presentation, but rather to truly satisfy their customers. The fries also deserve a special mention: perfectly golden, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, exactly how we like them. As for the salad, it was fresh, crisp, and perfectly seasoned, providing a lovely balance to the meal. In a restaurant, we sometimes remember the decor. Here, we also remember the food. Thank you to Moussa for his expertise, generosity, and passion, which are evident in every dish. A big congratulations also to the entire team for their professionalism, good humor, and consistently high-quality service. We came as customers, we leave as ambassadors. One thing is certain: we will be back. Well done to the entire team at Le Vieux Rocher. You do the French Riviera proud. Author: Laurent ESTHER
