Résumé des avis

The hotel grounds are highly praised for their beauty, lush gardens, and pleasant atmosphere, enhanced by a variety of activities. The quality and diversity of the food, from buffets to à la carte restaurants, are frequently commended. The overall cleanliness of the property and the spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped rooms are also highlighted, as is the friendliness and efficiency of the staff. However, the beach is sometimes described as small, rocky, and shallow, requiring water shoes. Furthermore, the entertainment is occasionally considered repetitive, and the atmosphere can be perceived as either too noisy or too quiet.

The hotel was lovely and the food was excellent, but the elevators were disappointing. They only worked about one out of three times, which was very inconvenient given that I was on the sixth floor. Otherwise, everything was great.

Belle hôtel la nourriture est excellente, mais les ascenseurs laissaient à désirer. Ils fonctionnaient seulement une fois sur trois, ce qui était très dérangeant étant donné que j’étais au sixième étage. Sinon, tout était très bien.

Wonderful week
Magnifique semaine

Very nice hotel, a 2-hour bus ride including stops! We arrived at 11:00 AM but didn't get our room until 4:00 PM – a very long wait!! The staff was welcoming!! The sea is clear but rocky, so you need water shoes!! The food and restaurant were perfect! The NOISE, oh my god… The cart was in the hallways all night for room service, and people were shouting! A chambermaid came by between 9:00 PM and 11:00 PM to ask if you needed anything!!! Impossible to sleep!!!! All along the beach, people constantly offered you cigarettes!!!! Not relaxing at all!!!

Très bel hôtel à 2heures d’autobus avec les arrêts!
Arrivé à 11:00 mais on a eu notre chambre qu’à 16:00 très longues attentes!!
Personnel accueillant!!
La mer est claire mais rocailleuse ça prend des souliers!!
Nourriture et restaurant parfait!
Le BRUIT ayoye….. Le chariot dans les corridor toute la nuit pour service aux chambres, gens qui hurlent! Femme de chambre qui passe entre 21:00 et 23:00 pour savoir si tu as besoin de quelque chose!!! Impossible de dormir!!!!
Tout le long de la plage on t’offre sans cesse de fumer!!!! Pas reposant!!!

The service wasn't always consistent, even though we were very generous with the tip.

Pour le service ce n'était t pas toujours égal, meme si nous étions très généreux avec le pourboire.

Exceptional place!
Endroit exceptionnel!

Magnificent hotel, very large and beautiful pool. Don't go there for the beach, it's rocky. The staff are extremely kind and courteous, regardless of their job. They greet you and always ask if you need anything. The à la carte restaurants are beautiful and the food delicious. A must-see!

Magnifique hôtel, très grande et belle piscine.
N'y allé pas pour la plage, elle est rocailleuse.
Le personnel est extrêmement gentil et courtois. Peu importe leur travail.
Ils nous saluent et nous demandent toujours si on a besoin de quelque chose.
Les restaurants à la carte sont magnifiques et la nourriture délicieuse.
À voir!
