Majestic Barriere Hotel

This is the second time I have stayed at the hotel. The difference between my two experiences being this time I paid the bill versus last time when I was a guest. I came back for the location, which is AAA. The problem was for a hotel of this price, aside from the location, there was much to be desired. I found the extra charges to be petty and the service marginal at best. They charged like $40 per person to sit by their pool, enough said on extra charges. The parking garage happened to be full on my arrival and they made me park my... more

The only hotel I have ever been to where you must pay to sit at the pool! The restaurant service was so slow , too many waiters doing nothing, polite but hopeless. A great place to haemorhage money. Never again

They are the closest hotel to the Palais du Festival, which hosts the Cannes Film Festival and is the convention center and... more

Stayed for 2 nights on a brief business trip. Hotel is in a perfect location. Hotel exterior and lobby are beautiful. Room was really very nice but small. Lousy water pressure in the shower (unless you like it luke warm). Consierge was extremely helpful trying to find a tour that would fit into my abbreviated schedule (though he couldnt find one). This is indeed a very expensive hotel and if this were a personal trip I might be more critical of all the add-ons. One warning - if you are bringing a laptop bring your own adapter for... more
