Hotel Martinez

Hôtel Martinez: A Quick Review by Aanarav Sareen

As an avid Hyatt loyalist, I always seek out their properties wherever I travel. So, when I arrived in the South of France, it was no surprise that I found myself at a Hyatt hotel in an enviable location – directly across from the dazzling beaches of Cannes.

Thanks to my elite Globalist status, I was delighted to discover that I had been upgraded to a massive suite. The room had a spacious outdoor terrace with breathtaking views and a large bedroom for ultimate comfort.

One of the highlights for me was having full control over the air-conditioning – a blessing for someone like myself who easily overheats. With no restrictions, I could cool the room to my heart's content.

To our pleasant surprise, the hotel was also hosting a lavish July 4th celebration on their penthouse rooftop. While not specifically for the American holiday, the event coincided with a dazzling fireworks competition that takes place every few weeks during the summer season.

However, our only negative experience at this property was with reserving beach loungers. It proved to be a frustrating and overpriced endeavor, with cabanas costing nearly $1000 per day. Despite this setback, we couldn't resist indulging in the splurge and would do so gladly, even if it did leave a sting in our wallets.
