Very quiet
Très tranquille

The staff is great! Impeccable cleanliness throughout the resort, especially in the rooms. The beach is small or nonexistent and very rocky depending on the location. The main pool is too small and requires ladders to get out of the water…not ideal! The beach activities and fire show were superb! Be aware that the free catamaran activity is only 2 hours with a 30-minute snorkeling session; however, the beach is beautiful and the beach BBQ is excellent! The mattresses could use replacing! 90 minutes from the airport.

Le personnel est super!
Propreté exemplaire sur tout le site et surtout dans les chambres.
Petite ou pas de plage et très rocailleuse dépend des endroits.
Piscine principale trop petite avec des échelles pour sortir de l’eau…pas super!
Activité sur la plage, spectacle de feu, superbe!
Attention à l’activité gratuite de catamaran, c’est seulement 2 heures avec une période de 30 minutes de plongée, cependant la plage est magnifique et le bbq sur la plage est excellent!
Les matelas seraient à changer!
90 minutes de l’aéroport.

Soothing and calming
Apaisant et calme

The only disappointment was the beach, as we couldn't swim in the sea because of the seaweed. Otherwise, there isn't much space to walk on the beach unless you go through the barrier.

La seule déception fut la plage car nous n’avons pas pu nous baigner dans la mer à cause des algues. Sinon il n’y a pas beaucoup d’espace pour marcher sur la plage sauf si on passe la barrière.

Avoid in groups
A éviter en groupe

A fantastic, expansive site to explore. Direct diving right off the beach, even better than diving at Morama Beach. The included activities are really fun. The only downside: the restaurants. They couldn't find tables for 10. They separated us into tables of 6 and 4. If they could have put us in a different restaurant, they would have. The buffet was quite ordinary; Cuba has nothing to envy them for.

Super site vaste à découvrir. Plongée directe sur la plage, même mieux que la plongée à morama beach. Activités incluses sont vraiment le fun. Le seul bémol: les restaurants, pas capable d’avoir des tables pour 10. Ils nous séparaient en table de 6 et 4. S’ils auraient pu nous mettre dans un autre restaurant, ils auraient fait. Buffet assez ordinaire même que Cuba a rien à leur envier.

For ultimate relaxation
Pour une détente ultime

Superb, well-maintained hotel. Not a party place. More geared towards relaxation. Excellent food. Very little beach. The grounds and landscaping are top-notch. I highly recommend it for relaxing by the pool under the palm trees. If you're into nights out, entertainment, and parties, this place isn't for you. The average age of guests is around 50.

Superbe hôtel manucuré. Pas une place à party. Plutôt orienté vers la détente. Nourriture excellente.
Très peu de plage. Végétation et entretien du site next level. Pour aller relaxer au bord de la piscine sous les palmiers, je recommande fortement. Si vous êtes du genre couche tard, d’animation et party, cet endroit ne vous plaira pas. Âge approximatif de la clientèle 50 ans.

Exceptional service and a smooth journey
Service exceptionnel et voyage tranquille

The perfect hotel for those who want to relax and be pampered! The service is exceptional, and the staff is very kind and welcoming. The resort is large, beautiful, and maintained daily. The rooms could use a little updating, but they were always very clean. The à la carte restaurants are excellent. A wonderful stay.

Hôtel parfait pour les personnes qui veulent relaxer et se faire dorloter! Le service est exceptionnel, le personnel est très gentil et souriant. Le resort est grand, beau et entretenu chaque jour. Les chambres auraient besoin d’un petit rafraîchissement, mais elles étaient toujours très propres. Les restaurants à la carte sont excellents. Très beau séjour.
