Place to beach – Bord de mer Croisette

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw “Place to beach – Bord de mer Croisette” on the booking site, I thought the name was a bit clunky. But you know what? Sometimes the places with awkward names turn out to be the hidden gems, and this little 3-star spot absolutely proved that theory right.

The location is what really gets me excited about this place. You’re right on Avenue Tristan Bernard, which honestly most tourists walk right past without realizing they’re missing something good. It’s in Pointe Croisette – not the main Croisette strip where all the fancy hotels charge you €500 a night, but the quieter residential part where actual people live. I mean, you can still walk to all the glitzy stuff in about ten minutes, but you’re tucked away from the cruise ship crowds and street performers. The beach access is genuinely just steps away, and I’m talking about a stretch of sand that’s way less packed than the sections right in front of the Martinez or the Carlton. There’s this little beach club nearby that locals actually use – you’ll know you’ve found the right spot when you hear more French than English being spoken.

What really surprised me was how well-run everything is for a 3-star property. The check-in was smooth (they actually remembered I was arriving late, which never happens), and the rooms are clean without being sterile – you know what I mean? They’ve got that comfortable, lived-in feeling rather than the cold perfection of chain hotels. The 9.3 rating makes sense once you spend a night there. It’s not luxury, but it’s thoughtful – like how they leave the windows slightly open for the sea breeze, or how the coffee in the morning is actually decent espresso, not that weird international hotel blend. Parking can be a bit tricky during festival season (well, everything in Cannes is tricky during festival season), but the rest of the year you’ll find spots on the side streets. The noise level is pretty reasonable too – you might catch some late-night chatter from people walking back from dinner, but nothing like the party noise you get closer to the port area. I’d actually recommend this place specifically if you want to experience Cannes without feeling like you’re trapped in a tourist bubble. You’re close enough to walk to Rue d’Antibes for shopping or grab dinner at one of those little family restaurants up near the old town, but you can also just sprawl out on the beach with a book and pretend you’re a local. For the price point, honestly, I can’t think of many places that give you this much authentic Cannes experience.

• A wonderful stay in a stylish and well-equipped apartment – Susanna from Italy – 10 July 2025 (10/10)

  A wonderful stay in a stylish and well-equipped apartment
  
  The apartment is simply great — minimalistic yet full of character. Everything is thoughtfully arranged, down to the smallest details. You’ll find absolutely everything you might need during your stay: a beach umbrella, hairdryer, iron, washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, coffee machine, and even a toaster. All appliances are new — the apartment has been recently renovated. The bed is very comfortable, with two types of pillows to choose from. Each room is equipped with air conditioning. The towels are high quality.
  
  One of the highlights is the lovely veranda — we had all our meals there. Breakfasts were especially delightful!
  
  The location is excellent: just a 5-minute walk to the beach. Turn right from the apartment and you’ll find the sea, a park, and many restaurants. Turn left and within a minute you’ll reach an amazing bakery and a grocery store. Around the corner is a great fish shop, and just a little further a butcher with delicious ready-made gourmet dishes. Thanks to that, we were able to enjoy excellent lunches at home for just 20–25 euros for two. Everything was incredibly tasty!

• A flawless stay in every way — we felt at home the moment we arrived and can’t wait to return! – Shala from North Macedonia – 28 June 2025 (10/10)

  We absolutely loved our stay! The apartment was spotless and everything was brand new – you can really feel the care and attention to detail throughout. The location was perfect: just steps from a beautiful beach, with a market nearby and free parking close to the apartment, which made everything super convenient.
  
  The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, including thoughtful touches like olive oil, salt, and pepper – it really made us feel at home. Even cleaning supplies were provided, which we really appreciated. The terrace was another highlight – a perfect spot to relax in the evening.
  
  We couldn’t have asked for a better place, and I honestly can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!
  
  What could be improved: —

• Value for money, comfortable and feel like home. – Pitchaya from Thailand – 24 June 2024 (9/10)

  It was clean, convenience and comfortable. The kitchen was super nice. Bedroom and Living room also specious it can be used as 2 bedroom.
  
  What could be improved: The only problem is a bathroom. The water doesn’t drain well.

• It was great and we are definitely coming back! – Tomislav from Croatia – 31 May 2024 (10/10)

  Excellent location and peaceful neighborhood.
  
  What could be improved: The fact that we didn't have reserved parking space. I must say we didn't have trouble in finding one, it was always possible to leave the car close to the building, but it would be ever more great if there was a reserved parking space.

• Great place for a family vacation – Alyona from Norway – 26 April 2024 (9/10)

  The place was spacious and the terrace was fantastic! We used it every day. Location is great, close to the beaches and close to city centre, yet away enough from the noise and business of the central streets. The rooms were large and all necessary amenities were there. We travelled with 2 kids and it was great, even a high chair and bed sheets for baby were available.
  Would def recommend and come back again!
  Easy to contact the host, check in and check out super easy. We loved it🥰
