Paula By Terry’s Homes 150m Beach – Palais

Hotel Description

So I stayed at Paula By Terry’s Homes last spring, and honestly? It’s one of those places that gets everything right without trying too hard. The location on Rue d’Antibes is pretty much perfect – you’re literally in the heart of Cannes but not dealing with the absolute chaos of the Croisette. I mean, you can walk to the beach in about two minutes (they’re not lying about that 150m thing), but you’re also surrounded by all those great little cafés and shops that locals actually use.

The building itself has this quietly elegant vibe – it’s not screaming “look at me” like some of the flashier hotels closer to the Palais des Festivals, but the moment you walk in, you know you’re somewhere special. The staff actually remembers your name, which sounds small but makes such a difference when you’re trying to figure out where to grab dinner or need restaurant recommendations beyond the tourist traps. They pointed me toward this incredible little bistro on Rue Meynadier that I never would’ve found otherwise. The rooms are what I’d call thoughtfully designed – not huge, but everything has its place, and the beds are genuinely comfortable (I’m picky about mattresses). You know what really impressed me? The soundproofing. Rue d’Antibes can get pretty lively, especially during festival season, but I slept like a baby every night.

What really sets this place apart is how it feels like you’re staying somewhere that understands Cannes beyond the glitz and glamour. Yes, you can walk to all the fancy spots – the Palais is maybe a seven-minute stroll, and you’ll pass some serious people-watching opportunities along the way. But you’re also perfectly positioned to duck into Forville Market in the morning for fresh produce and flowers, or to grab a real coffee (not hotel coffee) at one of the neighborhood spots. The beach access is legit too – you’re hitting the sand at Plage du Palais, which tends to be less crowded than some of the more central stretches. Parking can be tricky in this area, but they’ll sort you out with recommendations, and honestly, once you’re there, you won’t need a car anyway. I visited in May, which turned out to be perfect timing – warm enough for the beach, but before the summer crowds really descend. The whole experience just felt authentic, if that makes sense, like staying with friends who happen to have impeccable taste and live in one of the most beautiful cities on the Riviera.

• Superb – Ayse from Turkey – 9 May 2023 (9/10)

  First of all, the location of the house was very nice, in the center, car parks are very close, within walking distance to everywhere in the city. The comfort of the house was very enjoyable. Especially when we went, the welcome and information was very nice.

• From the beginning, Terry the host handling of the €600 deposit was unprofessional. The deposit was never mentioned on t – Ebaa from Saudi Arabia – 13 July 2025 (1/10)

  The property was clean and the location was good
  
  What could be improved: From the beginning, Terry the host handling of the €600 deposit was unprofessional. The deposit was never mentioned on the Booking.com platform prior to confirmation. She only requested it after the booking was completed, and not through the official Booking.com system — which is completely inappropriate and misleading.
  
  However, the most unacceptable part of our experience was how she treated us during check-out. She came at the morning time she and the cleaning staff entered the apartment without permission while we were still sleeping, shouting, screaming, and behaving in a highly aggressive manner. She even entered the bathroom while it was in use, which is a complete violation of privacy.
  
  We asked politely for just 10 extra minutes, yet she refused. Instead, she chose to escalate the situation by throwing our personal belongings out of the apartment, taking photos of even empty shopping bags, and threatening to deduct €600 from our deposit because of a late checkout — which, in total, lasted just 20 minutes beyond the scheduled time, caused mostly by her behavior.
  
  We paid over 10,000 SAR for this stay and expected a basic level of professionalism and respect. What we experienced was humiliating, aggressive, and emotionally distressing. My friends and I were left shocked and traumatized by the way we were treated.
