Bastide de Mougins - A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Bijou and beautiful. A lovely welcome from the charming girls on Reception, helpful cheerful Staff everywhere when you needed them, and Nicolas going for the most alert and attentive Waiter in the World Award. A lovely garden setting in which to dine, a gorgeous Pool, and a superbly equipped room. A proper Marriott breakfast buffet got our days off to a great start.

La Bastide recently completed its refurbishment, and both the public areas (reception, dining/breakfast deck) and the guest rooms are fresh and modern. Also had a little balcony facing the pool areas. Importantly, the location is very convenient for Cannes and Antibes, and compared to the inflated peak season rates for hotels on the Croisette, this hotel is (still) very fairly priced. The only important facility missing is a gym, but they do have tennis courts. Recommended.

A fabulous one nighter We stayed for one night as we had a wedding very nearby. Great little place with lovely friendly and helpful staff. Room was pleasant and very clean. Bathroom nicely done . Breakfast was very good . It was a good choice for us.

I’ve stayed at this hotel several times. It has recently been renovated and continues to be a be a lovely, peaceful refuge. The hotel is not walking distance to anything, so plan on either renting a car or scheduling transportation. Uber is available but unreliable, especially during Cannes Film Festival. It has recently been sold to Marriott, but it seems like the transition is a bit bumpy, hopefully they will work out the kinks with the reservation system. Make sure you call the hotel to confirm your reservation is in the system, several colleagues had issues with their reservations, but the hotel staff are wonderful and got it all sorted. The restaurant is great and breakfast is especially good - don’t sleep on the juices. The reason I am only giving 4 stars and am writing this review is because of the EXTREME rudeness of the night guard. Our party of business travelers had 11 people. One evening after dinner, we gathered in the lobby for a business meeting. It was late, probably close to midnight. The night guard turned the lights off in the area we were sitting. There were other guests sitting in the same area, it wasn’t just us. We continued to meet IN THE DARK as we had to wrap up before some team members left the next morning. Then, one of us was looking for a garbage can and stepped behind the bar to throw something away. Out of nowhere, the night guard runs over to the bar and starts screaming at her in French. As a non-French speaker she was stunned and froze because it was actually scary and threatening, especially because she didn’t understand what he was saying. Luckily, a French speaker stepped in to help, turns out he was upset because she had stepped behind the bar to throw something away and guests are not allowed behind the bar. I understand that he takes his job seriously, but I’d suggest reminding him that the guests should be the priority. If there is a policy in place that guests are not permitted to use the lobby after a certain time that should be stated or posted. It gave us a great story, but in the moment it was actually pretty scary. Don’t let that deter you from booking though, this is a great hotel!

Great staff and a nice clean room. Only major issue was air conditioning wasn’t working properly and room could get a bit stuffy.

We would prefer a location closer to the city center.
