Résumé des avis

The resort is very clean and well-maintained, with beautiful landscaping. The staff is friendly and attentive. The food is varied and excellent, especially the buffets and à la carte restaurants. The pools are lovely and clean, and the resort offers numerous activities and shows. The beach is also praised for its beauty and cleanliness. Occasionally, a few reviews mention areas for improvement, but these are not recurring issues.

Very large site
Très grand site

A very beautiful resort with lovely rooms, however, the service from the staff was mediocre, both at the buffets and the bar. You have to be patient because it takes a long time to be served, but overall we had a great holiday. The beach is beautiful and free of sargassum, and the food is good and varied.

Très beau resort avec de belle chambre parcontre service médiocre de la part des employés que ce soit au buffets ou au bar il faut etre patient car cest long se faire servir mais dans l'ensemble nous avons passé de belle vacances la plage est belle et sans aucune sargasse la bouffe est bonne et variées

Very good stay
Très bon séjour

It's a large resort, but the outdoor areas are spacious and the two tranquil pools are very pleasant. The rooms are clean and modern, the service is excellent, and the variety of dishes at the buffet is perfect. It will be even better when the second buffet opens and there are fewer people. I highly recommend it.

C'est un gros complexe mais les espaces extérieurs sont grands et les deux piscines calmes sont très agréables, les chambres sont propres et moderne , le service au top et les variétés de plats au buffet c'est parfait. Quand il y aura le deuxième buffet et donc moins de monde ça sera encore mieux. Je le recommande

Mixed trip
Voyage mitigé

From Friday to Sunday, it was absolute chaos. The locals (Republicans) came for a stay. At the buffet, parents and children alike were shouting and crying. They practically emptied the buffet. The situation at the pool was unbearable. There was shouting, crying, and they were hogging all the space. Three very unpleasant days…

Du vendredi au dimanche, ça été le vrai bordel. Les locaux (républicains) sont venus passer un séjour. Au buffet, les parents comme les enfants ça crient, ça pleurent. Ils vident le buffet. À la piscine, c’est pas endurable. Ça crient, ça pleure, ils prennent le monopole de la place. Trois jours très désagréable…
