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.

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 !

Too expensive to swim in a pool!
Trop cher pour se baigner dans une piscine !
Unfortunately, the algae, lots of algae, too much algae, it's unprecedented. Surely, you don't pay a fortune to get sunburned around a pool.
Malheureusement, les algues, beaucoup d'algues, trop d'algues, du jamais vu. Certainement, on ne paye pas une fortune pour se brûler au soleil autour d'une piscine.

Dream week
Semaine de rêve
Thanks to the favorable weather, we had a dream stay. Everything was perfect: cleanliness, entertainment, and food. The room was comfortable with a balcony overlooking nature. The beach offered long walks on white sand. Unfortunately, sargassum seaweed had arrived since mid-March, which limited swimming in the sea. The magnificent swimming pool more than made up for this inconvenience. It's a quiet and relaxing family resort with several small, mischievous wild animals. As the hotel is set back from the road, it's difficult to leave the grounds without taking an excursion, which turns out to be very expensive.
La température aidant, nous avons eu un séjour de rêve. Tout était parfait concernant la propreté, l'animation et la nourriture. La chambre était confortable avec un balcon donnant sur la nature. La plage permettait de longue marche sur du sable blanc. Malheureusement, il y avait des sargasses arrivées depuis la mi-mars ce qui limitait la baignade en mer. La magnifique piscine compensait pour cet inconvénient de la nature. Site familiale tranquille et reposant avec plusieurs petits animaux sauvages et chapardeurs. Comme l'hôtel est en retrait de la route, il est difficile d'en sortir sans prendre une excursion qui s'avère très chères.
