TIARA YAKTSA CANNES

We spent one night at Tiara Yaksta as part of a Secret Escapes deal. We were supposed to have a Deluxe Room with Sea View but were upgraded free of charge to a Superior Room with Sea View (Room 26). Located at the front of the property it had a balcony and amazing views over the Mediterranean. Large room with flat-screen TV and fridge/mini bar plus safe and Wi-Fi throughout the complex free of charge. Large bathroom with double basins and rainfall Italian shower. Lots of storage and Iron available on request. Coffee/Tea making facilities and turn down service on a night. All of the staff were brilliant, particularly Ahmed. Check-out was supposed to be midday but after no prompting from ourselves we were offered a 14.00 departure for no extra charge. The pool is heated and there are plenty of loungers and day beds with views over the sea. Open early until late. We had dinner in L'Or Bleu outside on the terrace which was fantastic. Great service and food. Breakfast is also very good, nice buffet selection and they can make things to order too. On a morning there were a few wasps buzzing around which was annoying but certainly not the fault of the hotel. We have never stayed in a bad Relais & Chateaux and this was no exception. Truly wonderful location and hotel with amazing staff who made us feel so welcome.

We stayed there for 3 nights in a (corner room with view on the bay) the balcony calm and inviting for a drink with the beautiful scenery of the Mediterranean sea. The welcome great and the staff very pleasant. An excellent place to stay away from the crowded side of the Côte d'Azur...we were treated as if we were the only clients, very welcoming and attentive to our comfort. Beds extra comfortable, lovely spacious bathroom with shower all the amenities of a big hotel. It is really a Chateaux et Relais, Hotel by all means. Very well managed, thanks to all the staff from the Manager and down to the smallest employee. It is wheel chair accessible right to the pool side; gorgeous just the right size and the right temperature. There is a jacuzzi on the side, which happens to be in a descrete area of the garden. The dining room and it's terrace very pleasant and the food also. One can park infront of the hotel very easily, plenty of space.

We reserved 2 nights at the Yaksta and I never wanted to leave. From the moment we checked in we were greeted by friendly staff, so welcoming to us and our little Pomeranian Botticelli. The hotel is beautiful and meticulously maintained. The breakfast was delicious with a great selection. The views from the rooms, dining room & pool were picture perfect. Prepare to be the envy of your friends & social media, each photo op and Instagram upload will be better than the next. Dinner at L'Or Bleu the onsite restaurant should not be missed. The sister property Miramar is just down the hill and the hotel will gladly shuttle you there in their open air car. You will find a small beach and lively waterside restaurant at Miramar. I feel so blessed to have discovered this gem. It was a true escape from the larger and often over crowded cities and towns or Côte d'Azur while still convenient to major sights and the airport. I will definitely be back!

What a fantastic gem of a hotel. The staff make the hotel including a personal greeting from the manager. Every member of staff was great and couldn't do enough for us. They were good humoured and very relaxed. The view was to die for and its worth staying for that alone. The steak tartare was the best we had whilst in France. We only stayed 2 nights but location was great and we drove into Cannes in 30 minutes for a day out which was great. Thanks everyone !

Fantastic place. Very quiet. Staff could not be better or more helpful. Manager consistently checks to make guests are happy and have all they need. Hope to return in 2017.. Have returned in Aug 2017. Huge welcome from Frederick the boss. Made to feel at home but with no stress! All the staff looking after us. The suite is stunning. Facilities down the hill at Miramar are great too with free usage. Wonderful retreat!! Martin and Gillian
