The trip lived up to our expectations
Voyage a la hauteur de nos attentes
Good, varied food, and the food was served at the perfect temperature. The room was a bit dated but very clean. Some of the buffet staff could be more cheerful. All the à la carte restaurants were excellent. A special mention goes to the gourmet restaurant La Terrienne; it's an absolute must-try. Based on our many trips, I can confidently say that the hotel deserves its 4.5 stars. You won't be disappointed.
Bonne nourriture varié et température de la nourriture parfaite.
More... Less...Chambre un peu vieillot mais très propre.
Certains employé(es) du buffet pourrait avoir plus le sourire.
Tout les restaurants à la carte étaient excellent.
Une mention spéciale pour le restaurant gourmet la terrienne, il faut absolument y aller.
Je peut dire que l'hôtel vaut ses 4,5 étoiles d'après nos nombreux voyages.
Vous ne serez pas déçu

WOW… The beach
WOW… La plage
A very pleasant stay in a lushly landscaped setting, with a magnificent beach perfect for long walks, calm and shallow water ideal for children and snorkeling enthusiasts. The food was plentiful and varied, with delicious fresh fruit. The Brazilian dinner is a must-try. The room was a bit dated, but clean. The only downside... a problem with the beach chairs.
Séjour très agréable dans un site arborant une végétation luxuriante, plage magnifique pour les amoureux des longues marches, eau calme et peu profonde idéal pour les enfants et les adeptes de snorkeling .
More... Less...Bouffe abondante et variée, fruits frais délicieux. Souper au brésilien à ne pas manquer.
Chambre vieillotte, mais propre.
Seul point négatif…. Problème chaises à la plage
