Résumé des avis

The hotel is highly regarded for its beautiful and well-maintained grounds. The food is considered excellent and varied, with good buffets and à la carte restaurants. The beach is lovely, large, and clean, perfect for walks, and the pools are pleasant with plenty of lounge chairs. The staff is highly praised for their friendliness and excellent service. However, it is sometimes mentioned that the sea water is not turquoise and that the sand is dark. Additionally, a lack of shade or palapas on the beach is occasionally reported.

Wonderful stay
Magnifique séjour

A week-long stay from April 5th to 12th, 2026, with my 13-year-old daughter and a couple of friends. The hotel was magnificent! The room was renovated and very clean, and the buffet was simply incredible. The only downside to our stay was the lack of shade on the beach. Normally, in the South, palapas are available for guests, but here, there weren't any. The palm trees had been cut down too much, so there was no shade at all. We had to rent umbrellas from street vendors at a cost of $20 to $25 CAD per day. For the price we paid for the hotel, I found this really disappointing. The establishment should offer shade solutions to its guests directly on the beach. Aside from this major issue, we loved our stay.

Séjour d’une semaine du 5 au 12 avril 2026 avec ma fille de 13 ans et un couple d’amis.
Hôtel magnifique ! La chambre était rénovée et très propre, et le buffet était tout simplement incroyable.
Le seul bémol du séjour concerne l’ombre sur la plage. Normalement, dans le Sud, il y a des palapas mis à la disposition des clients, mais ici, il n’y en avait aucun. Les palmiers ont été trop coupés, donc il n’y a aucune zone ombragée. Il fallait louer des parasols auprès de marchands itinérants, à un coût de 20 $ à 25 $can par jour. Pour le prix payé pour l’hôtel, je trouve cela vraiment décevant. L’établissement devrait offrir des solutions d’ombre à ses clients directement sur la plage.

Hormis ce gros détail nous avons adoré notre séjour.

I'm going back
je vais revenir

Perfect hotel, good food, although the wait at the à la carte restaurant was a bit long before getting a table, but the buffet was quick. The only major downside is the lack of shade on the beach because the palm trees have been pruned too severely.

hôtel parfait, bonne nourriture un peu long au resto a la carte avant d'avoir de la place mais rapide au buffet. seul point négatif majeur est le manque d'ombrage a la plage car les palmiers ont été taillé trop sévèrement

Very beautiful site
Très beau site

It's a very beautiful site, the only downside is the restaurants; you have to queue, and there are no reservations, so we only ate at one restaurant. However, everything at the buffet was excellent. I recommend it.

C'est un très beau site, seul inconvénient c'est les restaurants, il faut faire la file, aucune réservation donc a fait un seul resto cependant au buffet tout était excellent, je recommande
