Résumé des avis

Guests particularly appreciate the quality and variety of the food, especially at the buffets and à la carte restaurants. Furthermore, the overall cleanliness of the resort and rooms is frequently highlighted, as is the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff. In addition, the attractive facilities, pleasant beach, and diverse swimming pools also contribute to a positive experience. It is sometimes mentioned that the size of the resort can make the beach somewhat remote, necessitating the use of shuttle buses.

The place is very pretty but very large, you always get lost, the items for sale are far too expensive, even exorbitant. The à la carte restaurants are very good.

La place très jolie mais très grand on est toujours perdu,les articles à vendre bien trop chers même exagéré.les restaurant à la carte très bien.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but we wouldn't recommend this place to anyone else. This hotel should be a 4-star, not a 5-star. The rooms are old, the staff isn't always friendly, the à la carte restaurants aren't very good, etc.

En général, nous avons aimé notre séjour, mais nous ne recommanderions pas cet endroit à quelqu’un d’autre. Cet hôtel devrait être un 4 étoiles et non un 5. Les chambres sont vieilles, le personnel n’est pas tout le temps gentil, les restaurants à la carte ne sont pas très bons, etc…
