Where to stay if flying into Nice?

Six of my friends and I are flying into Nice for a weekend on the Riviera. We are not sure where we should stay or whether we should look to rent an apartment or just find a hotel. Any ideas on an excellent itinerary that includes at least one day on the beach? Thanks!

We just got back from the Hotel Windsor in Nice and loved it! Check it out on tripadvisor.com.

Most apartments rent by the week; so you'll be better off looking for a hotel. But be aware that Nice hotels book up well in advance during high season (May through September); so if you're going at that time, find a hotel room as soon as possible.

Nice beaches, alas, are mostly pebbles, not lovely sand. If you want a comfortable beach, consider staying over in Juan-les-Pins, next to Antibes, which has a very nice beach.

If you're going to be in the Nice area only 2 days and 1 will be at the beach, that doesn't leave much time for sightseeing. I'd suggest you just head for Vieux Nice and wander around that area.

For a half-day trip you could go by train over to Antibes and Cannes.
