Résumé des avis

The hotel is widely praised for its ideal setting and family-friendly activities. The attentive service and friendly staff are highly appreciated, as is the quality and variety of the food, particularly in the à la carte restaurants. The rooms, like the hotel as a whole, are distinguished by their cleanliness, comfort, and generous size. However, the beach is sometimes considered disappointing, mainly due to the presence of seaweed or rocks.

A wonderful week with family and concierge service!
Belle semaine en famille avec service concierge!

With the concierge service, we were truly pampered (additional restaurants, a private pool, a fantastic excursion, and several gifts for the children). Without this service, however, I think we would have been disappointed (the public pool is less pleasant, and during our stay, there was a lot of algae; therefore, the quality of the pools was important).

Avec le service de conciergerie, nous avons été très gâtés (restaurants supplémentaires, piscine réservée, excursion géniale, plusieurs cadeaux pour les enfants). Sans ce service, je pense toutefois que nous aurions été déçus (la piscine grand public est moins agréable et, durant notre séjour, il y avait beaucoup d’algues; la qualité des piscines était donc importante).

A wonderful trip, sunshine, sunshine, sunshine.
Très beau voyage, soleil soleil soleil.

Everything was perfect except for the beach. I wish the travel agency had informed us about the beach conditions; we would have chosen a different destination. Our young children dreamed of playing in the sand, but there were tons and tons of decomposing sargassum seaweed, the smell was unbearable, not to mention the millions of tiny mosquitoes.

Tout était parfait sauf la plage. J’aurais aimé être informé par l’agence de voyage des conditions de la plage, nous aurions choisi une autre destination. Nos jeunes enfants rêvait de jouer dans le sable mais il y avait des tonnes et des tonnes de sargasses en décomposition, l’odeur était insoutenable sans compter des millions de petit moustiques.

Great place for families
Super endroit en famille

Everything was perfect, except for the beach which has a lot of rocks at the bottom. We spent a large part of our holiday on the pirate ship, which is a must for children! The staff were extremely kind and helpful.

Tous était parfait , sauf la plage qui a beaucoup de roche au fond. Nous avons passé une grande partie de nos vacances en bateau pirate qui est un must pour les enfants!

Personnellement extrêmement gentil et a l’école

A very beautiful resort, built in 2011 and still very modern, with mature vegetation. Ideal for a young family. Excellent restaurants, very clean rooms and hotel, good service. There was a lot of seaweed on the beach for the first half of the week (the only downside), but the beach was cleaned and was great afterwards. In fact, the hotel recently installed a kind of barrier further out from the bay to better control the seaweed.

Très beau resort, construction 2011 encore au goût du jour, végétation mature. Idéal pour une jeune famille. Très bons restaurants, chambres et hôtel très propres, bon service. Il y avait beaucoup d’algues la première moitié de la semaine à la plage (seul point faible), par contre la plage a été nettoyée et elle était super par la suite. D’ailleurs, une genre de barrière a été installée au loin de la baie afin de mieux contrôler les algues très récemment par l’hôtel.
