Palm beach Cannes Azur

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Palm Beach Cannes Azur? It’s actually tucked away on this quiet little street – Rue Jean Cresp – that most tourists walk right past, but you’re literally a three-minute stroll from all the Croisette madness. I mean, you can hear the festival buzz during May if you really listen, but honestly, the location gives you this perfect escape hatch from the crowds without sacrificing anything.

The place has that relaxed French Riviera vibe that’s hard to fake – I’m talking about the kind of place where the front desk guy actually remembers your name and asks about your day. It’s a proper 3-star, nothing pretentious, but everything just… works. The rooms aren’t huge (this is Cannes, after all), but they’re thoughtfully laid out with these lovely touches like decent bathroom lighting and – thank god – proper air conditioning that doesn’t sound like a helicopter landing. What really got me was stepping out onto the little balcony in the morning with coffee; you catch glimpses of the Mediterranean between the buildings, and there’s something about that early light hitting the palm fronds that just hits different.

Here’s the thing about this neighborhood – you’re close enough to walk to the Palais des Festivals in about eight minutes, but you’re also right near where actual Cannes residents shop and eat. There’s this fantastic boulangerie around the corner that opens ridiculously early, and honestly, their pain au chocolat beats anything you’ll get on the touristy strips. The hotel staff clued me into a few spots like that – they seem to genuinely know the area rather than just rattling off TripAdvisor recommendations. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle (welcome to the French Riviera), but they’ll sort you out with options nearby. The whole experience feels refreshingly authentic for a place that could easily coast on location alone. That 9.3 rating makes perfect sense once you spend a night or two here – it’s not trying to be the fanciest place in town, but it nails all the stuff that actually matters when you’re exploring Cannes.

• Exceptional – Casals from Malta – 14 September 2024 (10/10)

  What could be improved: The bed was a bit small.

• Lovely area with the best beaches in Cannes with a view of the Island. – George from United Kingdom – 22 July 2024 (10/10)

  The location couldn't of been any better where you had 6 beaches to choose from. There were enough shops and restaurants close by you didn't need to go into the town for anything. The train station was only a short bus ride away and there was a regular bus service that ran up to 8:30 in the evening and then a night bus ran after that.
  
  What could be improved: I don't think there wasn't anything we didn't like.

• Exceptional – Adina from Romania – 19 June 2024 (10/10)

  Nice apartment in a quiet and safe area, close to the beach. It is equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay.
  parking is available on the street in front of the building, with video surveillance. The access is restricted, only the people of the residential area can access it with remote control.
  
  What could be improved: There is no elevator.

• Highly recommended apartment if you want to stay close to Cannes main places but want to feel a bit apart. The sunrises – Kateryna from Ukraine – 20 October 2023 (10/10)

  Private territory. Five minutes to both beaches. Nearby the park. Very clean and tidy stylish apartment. You literally have everything you need, even fumigator from mosquitos. Absolutely suitable for the family. Good to stay at all seasons.
  
  What could be improved: If you are with kids, especially little ones, the balcony is rather dangerous.

• Great flat in a good location, helpful owner. – Sally from France – 17 October 2023 (9/10)

  Super litte flat in a good location, a quiet area with free parking and easy access on foot to the beaches, port and town centre. Spotlessly clean and helpful owner.
