Mixed feelings: beautiful beach, but service needs improvement
Séjour mitigé : plage magnifique, mais service à améliorer

We returned from our stay at this hotel with mixed feelings. The first thing that really disappointed us was the access to the pools. Upon arrival, no one informed us that two of the pools were reserved for VIP guests. Yet, during the booking process, nothing clearly indicated this restriction, giving the impression that these facilities were included. As for the only pool we had access to, it was practically impossible to find free lounge chairs. We therefore spent almost our entire week at the beach. Regarding the buffet food, we were very disappointed. The meals were barely edible, at least to our taste. Fortunately, the à la carte restaurants, particularly the Italian and Mexican ones, significantly improved the experience for dinner. The servers there were very kind, attentive, and provided excellent service. A special mention goes to Justino from the Italian restaurant, who made each of our dinners very enjoyable thanks to his kindness and professionalism. On the other hand, the beach is magnificent. Sun loungers are always available, which is a real plus. The bars and beach restaurant were also very good and contributed to making our stay more enjoyable. In short, if you mainly enjoy spending time on the beach, this hotel might be right for you. However, if swimming pools and the quality of the buffet are important to you, it's best to do your research before booking.

Nous revenons d'un séjour dans cet hôtel avec un sentiment mitigé.

Le premier point qui nous a vraiment déçus concerne l'accès aux piscines. À notre arrivée, personne ne nous a informés que deux des piscines étaient réservées aux clients VIP. Pourtant, lors de la réservation, rien n'indiquait clairement cette restriction, ce qui donne l'impression que ces installations sont incluses. Quant à la seule piscine à laquelle nous avions accès, il était pratiquement impossible d'y trouver des chaises libres. Nous avons donc passé toute notre semaine presque exclusivement à la plage.

Concernant la nourriture au buffet, nous avons été très déçus. Les repas étaient à peine mangeables selon nos goûts. Heureusement, les restaurants à la carte, particulièrement l'italien et le mexicain, ont largement relevé le niveau pour les soupers. Les serveurs y sont très gentils, attentionnés et offrent un excellent service. Une mention toute spéciale à Justino, du restaurant italien, qui a rendu chacun de nos soupers très agréable grâce à sa gentillesse et son professionnalisme.

En revanche, la plage est magnifique. Les transats y sont toujours disponibles, ce qui est très appréciable. Les bars ainsi que le restaurant de plage étaient également très bien et ont contribué à rendre notre séjour plus agréable.

En résumé, si vous aimez surtout profiter de la plage, cet hôtel peut vous convenir. En revanche, si les piscines et la qualité du buffet sont importantes pour vous, il est préférable de bien vous renseigner avant de réserver.

Great vacation
Super vacances

A nice bar for happy hour is needed. When we're all dressed up for dinner and having drinks by the pool with other people in swimsuits and the ground is all wet, it's just not ideal and needs improvement. Special mention to Justin, the waiter at the Italian restaurant. His service was excellent and his good humor was contagious.

Il manque un beau bar pour le 5 à 7. Lorsque que nous sommes tout beau pour aller souper et que l'on prend l'apero près de la piscine avec du monde en maillot et que le sol est tout mouillé,c'est ordinaire c'est à améliorer. Mention spéciale au serveur Justin au restaurant italien. Super service de sa part et sa bonne humeur est contagieuse

A really beautiful and very well-done little site
Petit site vraiment très beau et très bien

The site is very beautiful with mature trees. The beach is lovely and seaweed-free. The staff are very friendly.

Le site est très beau et arbres matures. La plage est très belle et n’a pas d’algue. Personnels très gentils.

More than good
Plus que bien

Nothing to say except... there's no place to have a drink before dinner. (FREE)

Rien à dire sauf...il manque un endroit pour prendre un apero avant le souper. ( GRATUIT )
