Very friendly and always helpful staff. Fair variety for buffet - chef is very accommodating Amazing SPA - we had 2 massages in 3 days stay. Rooms are clean, spacious and has everything you need including beach towels and umbrella. Lovely view from the oceanfront room we had. Had some terrible noise from the construction next door but hopefully they will be finished by peak season kicks off… The manager Laurent was excellent - very accomodating, helpful and willing to listen to recommendations/suggestions. Beach was good, no real major tidal impacts… around the corner from the Kendwa Rocks hotspots Overall lovely experience

Mixed feelings - definitely not a 4-star resort

We stayed 5 nights at this Hotel and it was ok. The staff is very friendly and the rooms are clean. However, we would not consider this a 4-star hotel (but rather a 3-star), nor a resort (no gym, only one small restaurant, no lounge area etc.). The pool is very small and the beach in front of the hotel is not for swimming since it’s where the fishing boat are parked there (but the view is very nice). The room was ok, but very minimalistic (not in a cute way, i.e. no seating in the room) and the furniture is a bit worn out. Also the bathroom is very small and not exactly beautiful. In addition the shower head fell down all the time. In summary, it is a nice hotel, but it should be maintained a little better and the price-performance ratio is unfortunately not right at all.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
La chambre était de taille moyenne avec une salle de bain relativement étroite. Le ménage était fait tous les jours avec une attention particulière à l'environnement puisque les serviettes de bain étaient changés tous les 2 jours. Nous avions une vue mer exceptionnelle. L'hôtel accueille des tours opérateurs étrangers donc il faut prendre en compte cet élément. Certains clients sont bruyants le soir. Etant donné que notre chambre vue mer donnait sur le bar, un soir il a fallu se fâcher pour que le bruit cesse (il était tout de même 1h30) : les horaires d'ouverture du bar en soirée ne sont donc pas respectées. La plage devant l'hôtel comporte beaucoup de bateaux, il n'est donc pas possible de se baigner devant l'hôtel.
