Résumé des avis

Guests particularly appreciate the cleanliness and overall upkeep of the hotel and its grounds. The staff is frequently praised for their friendliness, smiles, and quality of service. Furthermore, the food is considered excellent and varied, whether at the buffet or the à la carte restaurants. The beautiful beach, ideal for walks, is also a major draw, offering plenty of lounge chairs and palapas. However, the presence of vendors on the beach is sometimes perceived as intrusive. Additionally, the rooms are occasionally described as needing renovations.

a great week with lots of Quebecers
une belle semaine avec beaucoup de Québécois

The only comment I have is that there's no activity between five and nine o'clock. No music, nothing until the show. And often the show is late, no happy hour, no room to have a glass of wine in the lobby before dinner either. Wine is only available at the restaurant, the menu is on the buffet, and at the beach they serve wine from 2-liter plastic jugs, which is really disgusting. I'm no wine connoisseur, but wine in plastic jugs is truly disgusting; everyone complains about it. I had to bring my own coffee mug and fill it up when I went to the restaurant to get a glass of wine. The next day, before dinner, if I were to eat at the buffet, having a glass of wine from happy hour before dinner would be great. The restaurant on the beach is very good, but you have to go when it's busy, otherwise the food is dry and they don't refill the plates. But otherwise, it's very good. If you're alone, it's a place for single people because there are a lot of Quebecers and you won't get bored; they really speak Quebec French.

Le seul commentaire que j’ai à dire, c’est qu’il n’a pas d’activité entre cinq et neuf heures. Pas de musique pas rien jusqu’au spectacle. Et souvent le spectacle est en retard pas de cinq à sept, pas de place pour prendre un verre de vin au lobby avant le souper non plus y a du vin seulement au restaurant la carte dans le buffet et au bord ils se servent du vin dans des bidons 2 lde plastique vraiment dégueulasse, je suis pas une connaisseuse de vin, mais le vin dans des bidons de plastique, c’est vraiment dégueulasse tout le monde se plaint de ça, il a fallu que j’emmène ma tasse à café et la remplir quand je vais au restaurant la carte pour pouvoir prendre un verre de vin, le lendemain avant le souper si j’allais manger au buffet
Prendre un verre cinq à sept, avant le souper
Le restaurant sur la plage
c’est très bien, mais faut que tu y ailles quand ça rou sinon la nourriture est sec et il ne remplissent plus les plats mais pour le reste très bien si tu es seul c’est une place pour les personnes seules car il y a beaucoup de Québécois et tu t’ennuies pas ça parle vraiment québécois

Overall, I would go back. I'm used to 4.5 or 5-star hotels.
Hors tout j'y retournerait. Habitué à des 4.5 ou 5*

The room was outdated and small. That was the only negative point. The rest... everything was fine.

Chambre désuet et petite. C était le seul point négatif. Le reste... tout était bien

It was a great vacation.
C'était les bonnes vacances.

The date was September 29th. The hotel is clean. The beach is beautiful; there are rocks in the water, but it's possible to find spots without rocks. The food is okay, nothing more. From Friday to Sunday, the restaurant is extremely crowded. The room is clean. Not many activities. The gym is mediocre. The place is quiet. I recommend it.

La date 29 septembre.
Hôtel est propre.
La plage est belle, il y a des roches dans l'eau, mais c'est possible de trouver des places sans roches.
Le bouffet est correcte pas plus.
De vendredi à dimanche, beaucoup beaucoup de monde dans le bouffet.
La chambre est propre.
Pas beaucoup d'activités.
Le gym est médiocre.
La place tranquille.
Je le conseille.

Petit resort conmfortable
Petit resort conmfortable

Nice, small hotel, everything is close together. Spotlessly clean everywhere: bathrooms, buffet, restaurant, rooms, and hallways. The beach is beautiful, with plenty of shade thanks to the trees, as there aren't many palapas (not enough in high season). The restaurant is very good (Italian and grill) with a good selection of menus. The only downside is the lack of a snack bar and 24-hour bar (so if you have an early departure, there's no way to have lunch). The pool is very clean, the main pool is always very crowded and lively, but there is a quieter pool in another section of the hotel. Weekends are very busy and noisy because of the large number of Dominicans. Book a restaurant for Friday and Saturday nights because the buffet is overrun with locals, and they can be quite boisterous. We'll be back soon because it's a great place.

Bel hôtel, petit, tout est proche. Propreté dans tous les endroits: salle de bain, buffet, resto, chambres et corridors. Plage magnifique avec beaucoup grâce aux arbres, car pas beaucoup de palapas (en haute saison pas suffisante). Resto très bon (italien et grill) bon choix de menus. Le seul bémol, il n'y a pas de casse-croute et bar 24 heures ( quand le départ est très tôt, pas moyen de déjeuner). Piscine très propre, la piscine principale est toujours très bondée et animée, mais il y a une piscine tranquille dans une autre section de l'hôtel. Les week-ends sont très mouvementés et bruyants car beaucoup de dominicains. Réserver un resto pour le vendredi et samedi soir car buffet envahi par les locaux et ils sont très effrontés. Nous y retournons bientôt car très bien comme place.

Beach chair
Chaise de plage

They should replace the beach chairs, as they are outdated, uncomfortable (many are broken), and old. The bathrooms could use some TLC. 8/10 overall. Beautiful location. Thank you 🙂

Ils devraient remplacer les chaises de la plage, car elles sont désuètes, inconfortables car plusieurs brisées et vielles. Les chambres de Bains auraient besoin d' amour. 8/10 en général. Belle emplacement. Merci 🙂
