Pullman Cannes Mandelieu Royal Casino Hotel

Our overall experience was a lovely one. (We were there for a wedding so it was great fun to see people.) It is a little unfair to judge the hotel now as one can see it is in the middle of being refurbished. For instance our room was just lovely as it had already been finished, but the passage ways were in an unfinished state and, therefore, less attractive. The front foyer, while clean, also had an unfinished look. It could have used more flowers or other decorative items to soften its appearance. My real criticism, however, was for the beach area. The protected cove is absolutely beautiful, so it comes as an unpleasant surprise to find that two-thirds of the sandy beach belongs to the flats next door; hotel guests are crowded onto the tiniest beach I've even seen. Then there's a sprawling chaisse-lounge area where the extra charges are so steep that even the well-heeled guests won't use it!! Something needs to be done about that -- and quick!! Suggestion: change your pool -- it's old fashioned in design -- lose the empty chaisse-lounge area -- get rid of the micro-beach (it's embarrassing. Build an "infinity" pool instead and allow your guests to transition directly into the cove. (I saw this in a hotel in Turkey that had no beach to speak of. It was terrific!!)

Nice hotel in French market, in other countries 4* hotels can be much more elegant. Minibar and restaurant very expensive. The staff kind and helpful, overall good place great time.
