Paradise of a location, with live DJ, luxurious decor and a perfectly white sand private beach. It was impossible to find parking, took us 45 mins to find a paid parking lot with tight corners we almost stretched our minivan, and had to walk 15 minutes to get to the La Cote restaurant. Our waiter looked like a personal trainer, food came quickly and was good. Absolutely love the view and the chill summer party vibe. 20% mandatory service charge in our bill. Two people's lunch came to $100USD.

Had lunch here during our stay at Fontainebleau. Tried their Grilled Swordfish and Moroccan Chicken Sandwich. Both were fresh and delicious. The staff was very warm and friendly.

I have been to this bar multiple times over the years and have ordered the piña colada-which is usually my favorite-with a double shot. The time around the drink was already melted, and it tasted very different than the last several that I had over the years I asked for a refund and instead of a refund, he came back with the same drink, but with the shot separate and then charged me double the price that it normally is . I usually wouldn’t complain.. $112 for two drinks is kind of hefty, especially when it’s usually 65. Plus, the side drink was not rum. It tasted like rubbing alcohol, which was supposed to be premium, which stated on the receipt. Additionally, we waited for this drink for over a half an hour and again still did not get a refund.

Very disappointing experience. I ordered the chicken kebab, which cost around $40–50, and the portion was shockingly small, only 5 pieces of chicken that in no way justified the price. The quality under average at best and nowhere near what you would expect at this price point.
This restaurant says that’s its upscale, but the food does not deliver on value or substance. I left still hungry and frustrated. Service and atmosphere were fine, but that cannot make up for how badly overpriced and mediocre the food is.
There are many better options nearby for the same money or less. I would not recommend this place and will not be returning.

One friendly staff member. It seemed as though they did not want hotel guests at the hotel.

The closer - except the bar due to weather AND no one thought to call the people with reservations. Then the person waiting on us was more interested in chatting up a customer also sitting at the bar - the entire time we were there - then checking on us ever. We repeatedly had to flag down the other bartender for things. Then to add insult to injury a 20% gratuity is added to every establishment within the hotel. So, I was forced to pay for the lousiest service ever. Raw salmon on my visit here two days prior with pounding EDM music and now this. NEVER again!!
Yesterday at La Côte, I had one of the worst service experiences I’ve ever had in a 5-star hotel. Wrong food was brought to my table — a huge platter clearly meant for 4 people, the most expensive item on the menu, even though I was dining alone. The server’s attitude was rude, and the check was thrown at me without any explanation.
When I asked to speak with a manager, the situation somehow became even worse. Instead of resolving the issue, she told me to “just take it to my room” or “give it to the girl at the champagne cart,” which was incredibly unprofessional and disrespectful.
For a hotel of this level, this kind of service is absolutely unacceptable.

I was excited to bring my followers a great experience at the Fontainebleau Hotel restaurant… but unfortunately, it was anything but family-friendly.
We came with my mom, who is almost 70 and has difficulty walking long distances. We were escorted through the hotel to the restaurant without any issues. After we finished lunch and stepped out to the beach area with our drinks, no one informed us that once we left, we wouldn’t be allowed back inside unless we were hotel guests. When we tried to return, we were denied entry—even though we had just come from the restaurant moments earlier.
What made the experience even more disappointing was the inconsistency. We watched the entrance staff allow other guests to walk in simply by saying they were staying at the hotel—no room key, no bracelet—while we were refused. The woman at the entrance was also chewing gum the entire time, which came across as unprofessional and inattentive.
As someone who shares experiences with my followers and looks for great places to recommend, this was a huge letdown. Terrible service, poor communication, and zero consideration for guests with Mobility concerns.
Save your time. If you’re looking for a place that truly values customer experience, Nikki Beach is a much better option.

I am a world class person and have ample knowledge of dining world. The photos of the restaurant are very misleading. Imagine paying the prices of a nice restaurant and having your Cocktails served in a cheap plastic cup and of course the bottled water as well. I was told by our server that because of the vicinity to the pool they do that. Someone need to teach these guys that there are unbreakable Tritan glasses sold at Williams-Sonoma that are very high quality that provide you with the real glasses experience worry free. The food was average. This place is ok for those who are not demanding people.

My experience at La Côte was rather forgettable — neither good nor bad, simply unremarkable. The chicken sandwich had a pleasant flavor, but the meat itself was tough and overcooked, making it difficult to enjoy.
The service was attentive but not genuinely warm, with staff appearing somewhat rushed and insistent that we finish quickly — hardly the relaxed seaside experience one expects from such a setting.

I would like to express my disappointment regarding the service I received during my recent visit. I was attended by Carlos C, who brought the bill without me requesting it. When I asked if this was an invitation for us to leave, there was no clear explanation, which made the situation quite uncomfortable. Especially since we still wished to order food in addition to our drinks.
After we ordered two drinks around 5:00 PM, his attitude became noticeably rude and unprofessional. This was particularly disappointing given that we are staying at the hotel and expected a more welcoming and courteous service.
I hope this feedback helps improve the guest experience for future visitors.
