Résumé des avis

Guests particularly appreciate the quality and variety of the food, the beauty of the beach and its many sun loungers, as well as the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms. The overall cleanliness of the property, the friendliness of the staff, and the pleasantness of the swimming pools are also frequently highlighted. However, the presence of seaweed on the beach and in the water is occasionally mentioned.

I do not recommend this hotel.
Je ne recommande pas cet hotel

Very poor hotel management. The vast majority of employees are uninformed and only speak Spanish. It's difficult to get any coordination despite repeated requests. Just one example: imagine they wake you up in the morning to collect towels for washing, and then leave you without them until housekeeping time. There's a lot of variety in the buffet, but it lacks flavor and seems cheap. Making a reservation at the restaurant is difficult. We stayed for seven days and weren't able to try all four restaurants. Even after leaving a tip, they provide fewer pillows and towels per person: one pillow per person and three towels for four people. We had to complain to get them to correct this. The pool wasn't very clean. What really struck me was that I reported a serious safety incident, and no one reacted. A large platform collapsed next to the pool (near many children). The platform came from a construction site with no safety perimeter. I wrote to the hotel, but received no response.

Très mauvaise gestion hôtelière
Les employés à grande majorité pas courroies et parle que espagnol
Difficile d avoir un alignement malgres plusieurs demande.
Juste un exemple imaginer qu ils vous réveils en matiné pour récupérer les serviettes pour les laver, ils vous laissent sans jusqu’au temps de housekeeping
Beaucoup de variétés dans le buffet mais pas de goût et sa semble chip comme repas .
Difficile de faire une réservation dans le restaurant. Nous avons rester 7 jours et nous avions pas pu faire les 4 restaurants.
Même en laissant le tips Il donne moins d oreiller serviettes par personnes
1 oreiller par personne et 3 serviettes pour 4.
personnes, faillait réclamer ça pour qu il corrige.
Piscine pas bien propre.
Ce qui m’a vraiment marqué j’ai signaler un incident sécurité grave et personne n’a réagit. Une large plate-forme a tombé a coté de la piscine (à côté de beaucoup d enfant). La plate-forme venant d un chantier de construction sans périmètre de sécurité.
J’ai écris à l’hôtel, aucune réponse.

Lack of cleanliness
Manque de propreté

The swimming pools are poorly maintained and lack cleanliness. As for the rooms, their cleanliness leaves much to be desired.

Les piscines sont mal entretenues et manquent de propreté. Quant aux chambres, leur état de propreté laisse à désirer.

Very average service
Service très moyen

I hate salespeople and timeshare owners; it's very unpleasant. The $70 USD lobster meal is really excessive. The cleaning staff doesn't come every day.

Je déteste les vendeurs de tout et les gens qui propose du time-sharing c’est très désagréable .. le
Repas langouste à 70$us c’est vraiment exagéré
Femmes de ménage ne passe pas chaque jour
