Pullman Cannes Mandelieu

Good hotel

Very clean hotel with friendly staff. I guess it’s becoming the norm to rent sunbeds by the beach if you’re getting a more VIP experience, but I felt that this facility are just kicking the hole out of it, with the exorbitant cost of a sunbed just to sit at the pool. I would have liked to see an ice dispenser ‘somewhere’ on property. We had to pay room service rates just for buckets of ice. My complaint here isn’t so much about cost, but probably the inconvenience of having to wait 20-30 minutes for some ice and they waltz it to your room on a trolley, like you just ordered Dom Perignon! Casino is really small with only one blackjack table, so once the 6 spots are taken, you can’t get on the table …and I found the pit boss on a high chair above the table like a pool lifeguard just a little odd. I didn’t pay enough attention to the location when booking and thought it was in Cannes …but it’s 5 miles away, which I’m surprised I missed this when choosing this place. It’s a lovely beach walk, which we did once (one way) …but the rest of the time we had to pay €20-€25 each way. No biggie, but my mistake when looking at the map.

Great location within walking distance to amazing restaurants on the pier. Just a quick 30-1 hour drive to Cannes, nice, eze, grasse and St. Paul de Vence. But away from the crowds.

Nice and clean hotel, friendly staff
