Résumé des avis

Guests frequently highlight the friendliness, helpfulness, and smiles of the staff, contributing to a pleasant atmosphere. Furthermore, the overall cleanliness of the hotel and rooms is consistently praised. The beach, considered beautiful and well-located, is also a major draw, and the rooms are often described as spacious and comfortable. However, the quality and variety of the food are sometimes deemed insufficient, with the buffet occasionally being repetitive. Additionally, it is noted that some services, such as the safe or access to certain restaurants, may be subject to a fee or unavailable.

Very basic!
Très « basic »!

The resort is very basic. The beach is beautiful, but there are many local vendors because it's not private at all. In fact, the beach is on the other side of the street from the resort.

Resort très « basic ».
Plage très belle mais beaucoup de « vendeurs locaux » car la plage n’est pas du tout privée.
La plage est d’ailleurs de l’autre côté de la rue du resort.
