Résumé des avis

The staff is highly praised for their friendliness and excellent service, often speaking French. The beach is beautiful, with white sand and plenty of sun loungers. The cleanliness of the resort and rooms is excellent. The food is excellent and varied, with good buffets and à la carte restaurants, all set in lush surroundings with diverse wildlife. However, it is occasionally noted that the buffet food can be repetitive or not hot enough. Additionally, the rooms are sometimes considered dated, and the air conditioning can be weak or noisy.

Magnificent hotel
Magnifique hôtel

Overall, it's a very beautiful, welcoming, and warm hotel with lots of greenery! The service was quick, even in French at reception. The place is very well maintained, both outside and in the very clean rooms. The staff is kind and smiling. I did find the pool a bit small for the size of the resort. During our stay, we couldn't enjoy the sea because of the sargassum seaweed. The restaurants are good and varied, but my favorite was the Beloved restaurant! The breakfast buffet was a disappointment; while there was a nice variety, it was rather repetitive at lunch and dinner. The staff is smiling and welcoming, but it can be difficult to get served; it takes a while. Overall, a great experience, and I'll go back!

Dans l'ensemble général c'est un très bel hôtel accueillant et chaleureux avec beaucoup de végétation!
Service rapide même en français à la réception.
C'est un endroit qui est très bien entretenu autant à l'extérieur que dans les chambres vraiment propre.
Personnel gentil et sourirant.
J'ai trouvé que la piscine était petite quand même pour la grandeur du site. Pendant notre séjour on n'a pas pu profiter de la mer puisque les Sargasses l'envahissaient malheureusement.
Les restaurants sont quand même bien et diversifié mais mon coup de coeur reste le restaurant le Beloved!
Déception au buffet pour le matin au déjeuner il y avait une belle variété mais pour l'heure du dîner ou du souper c'était quand même assez redondant.
Le personnel est souriant et accueillant mais il est quand même difficile de se faire servir ça prend quand même du temps.
En général belle expérience j'y retournerai!

A beautiful stay enhanced by lush vegetation and good times.
Un beau séjour agrémenté de végétation luxuriante et de bons moments.

Aside from the lack of a place to escape the heat, the resort is very well maintained, with lush vegetation and courteous, friendly staff. The restaurants are good; we loved the Italian one. The buffet offered a lot of variety, although a small grill area would have been appreciated, beyond just meats in sauce or fish and pork cooked on the griddle. However, we always managed to find something to our liking...except for the fries, which were only available at the Beloved restaurant. At the Beloved, the menu was limited, but still excellent. It's a shame the heat was so oppressive during lunchtime...but the view is superb! The rooms were clean, although the small refrigerator wasn't always stocked. You had to ask. The push for upgrades to the Exclusive section (timeshare) is inappropriate...they're persistent, and it becomes annoying. The sargassum seaweed is collected several times a day so we could enjoy this idyllic beach. The staff and service were commendable; in short, a wonderful stay!

Mise à part le manque d'endroit pour un répit de chaleur, le complexe est très bien tenu, végétation luxuriante et personnel courtois et aimable. Les restaurants sont bien, nous avons adoré l'italien. Le buffet, beaucoup de variété, un petit coin grillade aurait été apprécié, autre que les viandes en sauce ou le poisson et le porc cuit sur la plaque, mais on a toujours su trouver à notre goût...sauf pour les frites, offerte qu'au Beloved ... à celui -ci, menu restreint, mais toujours excellent. Dommage que la chaleur soit accablante pendant le repas du midi....mais la vue est superbe ! Chambres propres, par contre le petit frigo n'était pas toujours rempli. Il fallait demander. La sollicitation pour le "up grade" du côté Exclusif n'a pas sa place ( time sharing)...ils sont tenaces, et ça devient agaçant. Les sargasses sont ramassées plusieurs fois par jour pour nous permettre de profiter de cette plage idyllique. Personnel et services digne de mention, bref, un beau séjour !
