Résumé des avis

Guests particularly appreciate the beautiful beach, wide and clean, free of rocks or seaweed. The staff is also frequently praised for their kindness, courtesy, and attentiveness. Furthermore, the overall cleanliness of the property and grounds is rated as excellent, and the buffet food is described as very good, varied, and of high quality. However, it is sometimes mentioned that the rooms could benefit from renovations, being perceived as somewhat outdated and occasionally lacking soundproofing.

Beautiful little resort
Beau petit resort

Friendly staff, delicious buffet, good evening shows, and the presence of exotic animals is a plus! A bit lacking in atmosphere (music), and too much sargassum seaweed to access the sea :(

Personnel chaleureux, buffet délicieux, bons shows de soirées, présence d'animaux exotiques un plus! Manque un peu d'ambiance (musique), trop de sargasse pour avoir accès à la mer :(

Vacances de juin 2026

Beautiful hotel, very clean, lovely location, the issues aren't the hotel's fault. The service at the bars is quick. The à la carte restaurants are very ordinary, which was my biggest disappointment. In all my travels, the hotel and the food have disappointed me the most. However, the first-come, first-served system at the à la carte restaurants is excellent; if there's no room, they give you a table. A very good idea, it's brilliant.

Belle, hotel, tres propre, belle place, les alges sont pas la fautes de l’hotel. Le service est rapide aux bars. Les restaurants a la carte sont tres ordinaires ou j’ai ete le plus decu Dans toutes mes voyages fait c’est l’hotel qui ma plus decu est la restauration. Par contre pour les reto a la carte le systeme du premier arriver premier servis est tres bien il s’il a pas de place il te donne un bozzer. Tres bonne idee c’est genial.

Beautiful resort with lovely vegetation and very clean
Beau Resort avec belle végétation et très propre

I highly recommend this resort. It's a beautiful, well-maintained, and very clean site. The buffet is excellent with a wide variety of choices, and the beach is lovely, although unfortunately there's sargassum seaweed. However, it's important to understand that this is nature, and they work hard to remove it daily. There's no need to get up early to find available chairs. I recommend this place without hesitation! Also worth seeing are the monkeys on the grounds, and you can listen to the songs of the many birds.

Je recommande ce Resort ,très beau site entretenu et très propre, excellent buffet avec beaucoup de variétés, la plage très belle, malheureusement avec des sargasse mais il faut comprendre que c'est la nature et ils travaillent forts pour ramasser à tous les jours,pas besoin de se lever tôt pour avoir des chaises toujours disponible, je recommande cet endroit sans aucune hésitation !! À voir également les singes sur le site et écouter le chant de plusieurs oiseaux
