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 only downside: the beach is too small and not long or deep enough.

Beach 🏖️
Plage 🏖️

The only downside is the beach, which is narrow and shallow (water only thigh-deep at most), but the pools more than make up for it and are very well maintained. Nice variety of food, excellent service, and very clean.

Le seul bémol est la plage qui est étroite et peu profonde ( eau à la hauteur des cuisses max) mais les piscines compensent et sont très bien entretenues. Belle variété de nourriture, excellent service et très propre .

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!!!
