Five Seas Hotel Cannes

I had 2 choices - this hotel and the Marriott hotel facing the beach. I chose this one because the pool looked fabulous from the picture, and the Marriott fronting the beach looked older. This is a nice, new hotel with beautiful lobby space, close to all the restaurants and shops I would enjoy, and it's close/walking distance to La Croisette and the Film Festival/Convention area. We used that convention area to park our rental car for the night for like 12 euro so it's super convenient. The hotel is walking distance from the train station, so we were able to walk with our luggage to the hotel late at night. The check in was good, it's a boutique hotel so there's only one entrance, there are 2 exits. We got a room on the 2nd floor with a view of the Church next door. The room itself is pretty, but some of the design work, some does not. I'm not a fan of bathrooms that you can see through unless you close the shade, and the toilet is separate from the toilet sink so you'd have to cross the room to wash your hands. We have daily stocks of water and drinks, so that was a nice touch. The breakfast buffet is fabulous with great selection of French pastries I've come to love (lemon bars, rum cake, etc). Love the butter. The breakfast place is at the top floor, and the desing is great, and it gives you a 360 view of the city, especially if you step outside to the pool area. The temperature sadly, was already cold in early October, so we were not able to try it out. The valet guy was nice, and the room service crew was great. The restaurant staff are awesome. The front desk guy could smile a bit more, otherwise everyone looked like they enjoyed working there and takes great pride of the hotel and its 5 star designation.

Amazing location, excellent service from checkin to concierge to breakfast....every single employee went above and beyond to ensure comfort as well as satisfaction. This hotel is so conveniently located for shopping, eating as well as the exhibition centre.Thank you for a brilliant week.

Very friendly, welcoming staff in all departments of the hotel. Huge comfortable rooms with huge beds. Despite being in a fabulous, historic location (route Napoleon) just steps from the sea, the old town, etc, the rooms are quiet. Enjoyed a visit to the spa for a massage. If you wish to have the Sunday Brunch make sure to book in advance.

We loved our stay! The concierge was so helpful and the staff at the hotel were very friendly and attentive. The location is very nice and we recommend their private beach Plage du Festival. You can walk to the beach in a very short walk. I highly recommend!

I cannot say enough about the team at this hotel! Front desk, housekeeping, concierge, valet, on LeRoof, breakfast everyone was professional, kind, attentive and respectful! Unbelievable!
