Bel Appartement Face à La Mer Près Du Centre – Le Voilier by Halldis

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Le Voilier? The name makes it sound way fancier than it actually is – and I mean that in the best possible way. This isn’t some stuffy hotel where you’re afraid to touch anything. It’s this perfectly comfortable apartment right on Avenue Laugier, literally facing the Mediterranean, and honestly, the location alone makes it worth booking. I’ve stayed in a bunch of places around Cannes, and most “near the beach” spots are actually a solid 10-minute walk away. Not here – you’re right there, watching the morning joggers and early swimmers from your window while you’re still in your pajamas.

The building itself (Palais de la Plage, Bat C if you’re looking for it) sits in this sweet spot where you get that proper seaside vibe without being stuck in the touristy chaos of La Croisette. Don’t get me wrong, you can absolutely walk to all the fancy stuff – the Palais des Festivals is maybe 15 minutes on foot, less if you’re motivated – but you’re not dealing with the constant crowds and street performers right outside your door. The neighborhood has this lived-in feel that a lot of Cannes has lost, with actual French families doing their grocery shopping and walking their dogs. There’s a little tabac just around the corner where the owner will remember your usual coffee order by day three, which… well, that’s rare these days.

What really surprised me was how quiet it gets at night, especially considering you’re so close to everything. The apartment faces the water, not the street, so you get those gentle wave sounds instead of late-night party noise. The space itself feels more like staying at a friend’s place than a rental – everything’s actually functional (I’m looking at you, tiny hotel coffee makers that barely work), and there’s real cabinet space if you’re planning to stay more than a couple nights. The 9.5 rating makes total sense once you’re there; it’s one of those places that just works without any drama. Check-in was smooth, the WiFi didn’t cut out every five minutes, and the shower had proper water pressure – honestly, sometimes that’s all you need. If you’re planning to visit during the film festival or summer peak season, book this one early because spots like this that actually deliver on their promises tend to fill up fast.

Reviews

• Traynor from Ireland – 24 April 2025 (10/10)

  Location was perfect.Apartment was spotless, extremely bright and spacious with a beautiful sea view.Really well equipped with everything that might be needed.Good WiFi.Very homely feel with 2 large balconies.
  
  What could be improved: There was nothing that we didn’t like.The only thing I would say is that there is traffic noise as you are on the main road into Cannes.It’s not something that bothered us at all, but if you are sensitive to that noise at night, it is something to be aware of at the front of the apartment.There are 2 other rooms to the rear that are on the quiet side.
  This is not a negative by any means, just something to note

• Nove from Italy – 8 March 2025 (10/10)

  The apartment was amazing. Big, bright, and very clean.
  In one of the bedrooms you can hear the sound of the waves and fall asleep to that. Truly amazing

• Max from United Kingdom – 23 October 2024 (10/10)

  Great location with parking. Comfortable and easy for a group of 6.
  
  What could be improved: Bathroom layouts made it a bit inconvenient for the guests using the bedroom next to the kitchen. Not too much of a problem.

• Alison from United States – 29 May 2024 (9/10)

  Wonderful location. Spacious apartment with incredible beach view. Walking distance to everything!
  
  What could be improved: We could not get the air conditioner to work. It was a little warm when we went to bed, but due to the time of year the apartment cooled off during the night. Also, for the bedding, the pillows could have been more comfortable. And there was no flat sheet on any of the beds.

• Aiste from Lithuania – 28 May 2024 (10/10)

  Exelent place near the sea, wonderful view form the balcony and all the windows.

• Keren from Israel – 3 September 2023 (10/10)

  What could be improved: N/A

• Talha from United Kingdom – 5 June 2023 (10/10)

  location and size. clear instructions were given for the key pick up
  
  What could be improved: I don’t see why the property/management owners can’t clear the bins themselves. as a lot of money is paid for the stay. I am paying for a service, not for it to be done by myself. But maybe that’s just the way they do things in Cannes.

• Deborah from United Kingdom – 29 October 2024 (10/10)
