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.

Great experience
Belle expérience

The lobby was really impeccable, the entertainment staff was very friendly, the food at the buffet was decent, there was a lot of variety, we liked the à la carte restaurants less, the pool was well animated by the entertainment team, especially with "crazy legs", but I was very disappointed with the beach, as it was impossible to swim because of the seaweed.

Le lobby était vraiment iimpeccable, le staff d'animation était très sympathique, la nourriture au buffet était correcte, il y avait beaucoup de variété, on a moins aimé les restaurants à la carte, la piscine était bien animée par l'équipe d'animation, surtout avec "crazy legs", mais j'ai été très déçu de la plage, car il était impossible de se baigner à cause des algues.

The service is impeccable. Everything is spotless. The buffet is delicious, and so is the Indian restaurant. I liked the Las Olas restaurant a little less at lunchtime. The pools are super clean. I would have given the beach a 10 if the family-friendly section had been open.

Le service est impeccable. Tout est vraiment propre . Le buffet est délicieux, le restaurant indien aussi . J’ai un peu moins aimé le restaurant las olas à l’heure du lunch. Les piscines sont super propres. J’aurais donné un 10 à la plage si la plage du côté familial avait et ouverte.

Have a wonderful week of sunshine and relaxation!
Belle semaine de soleil et de repos!

Not enough music and a lack of activities. There were long periods of downtime where nothing was happening at the hotel. The beach was practically non-existent.

Pas assez de musique et activités manquante aussi. Il y avait de gros temps morts ou rien ne se passait à l’hôtel. La plage est quasi inexistante.
