Radisson Blu is the south-quay hotel with a rooftop pool. The pool opens 8 am to 10 pm from April to October, with seven family rooms and a "Famille Plus" label — about 5.6 road miles from MPCT by our routing.
It loses ground on distance, not on comfort. The south quay is the far side of the Vieux-Port from the cruise terminals, and outside the season the pool's shut.
Breakfast is €29 (about US$35), per the tourist office, and parking is the public Indigo La Criée garage. Radisson's own taxi guide prices the airport at about €50 (about US$55).
Book it for a summer evening on the roof, and ask reception to hold a garage space.
Book it if
- You're sailing between April and October and want the rooftop pool
- Your family wants a family room with a label for it
- You'd like your bags held after check-out
Look elsewhere if
- You're travelling in winter and want the pool.
- Breakfast at €29 is more than you'd pay.
- You want the shortest ride to MPCT.
