Résumé des avis

The beautiful, clean, and well-equipped beach is highly praised. The staff is frequently commended for their friendliness and service. The resort is perceived as clean and well-maintained, with lovely vegetation. The rooms are considered clean and spacious, and the à la carte restaurants receive high praise. However, the buffet food is sometimes considered to lack variety. The condition of some rooms is occasionally perceived as outdated, with hot water issues. Sporadically, a lack of maintenance is reported regarding certain areas of the pools or public restrooms.

Heaven.
Paradis.

After our ninth visit to this hotel, we are once again delighted. The location is fantastic, and the staff is lovely. Don't hesitate to recommend it to people who aren't just looking for a party, but who still want to have fun.

Suite à notre 9 ième présence à cet hôtel nous en revenons toujours aussi enchantés. Site super agréable, personnel adorable. Ne vous gênez surtout pas pour le recommander à des personnes qui ne recherchent pas uniquement le party tout en pouvant s'amuser.

Avoid at all costs!
À éviter à tout prix!

My sheets were dirty, and I won't even mention the pillows. I wanted to change rooms, but they sent us to an even worse place 🤮 80% of the vacationers are Russian. The beach is covered in seaweed and cigarette butts.

Mes draps étaient sales ,je vous passe de commentaire pour les oreillers . J ai voulu changer de chambre , ils nous envoient dans du pire 🤮

80 % des vacanciers sont des russes .

La plage couverte d algues et de top de cigarettes.
