The bungalow we booked was recently refurbished with a nice shared pool. The property had great gardens and pool area. The beach bar and the sandy beach of the property were also great. What we felt could be improved is certainly the food as the quality was low. Moreover, a coffee machine in the superior bungalow is a service that should be added.

This newly renovated spa resort is great value. Spa treatments are reasonably priced. A great variety of foods service eg a la carte, buffet and beach bar. I found the buffet dinner excellent. Modern stylish rooms. Live music and yoga classes on the beach and loads of activities if you are staying several days. Beautiful views. And while not the best sandy beach in the world ... the resort layout greenery, mountain and sea views, the food and activities more than make up for this!! Worth a try and definitely somewhere I would go back to.

4 stars at the price of a 5 and the level of 3

I've been disappointed about the levek of servie of the hotel. Almost like if I was annoying the staff as soon as I was asking something. Long waiting before ordering and then getting. The bed was really bad quality, the TV was very small. The room deco was at its very minimum. For 300€ the room and the night I was expecting a little bit more that what I just experienced.

Belle hôtel de plage

Hotel en bord de mer avec un service all In inclusif. Au niveau de l’accueil et du personnel, tout le monde est adorable et serviable. Encore merci pour leur gentillesse. Concernant la chambre, nous avions pris une chambre suite bungalow dans le jardin très agréable avec une petite terrasse que nous pourrons dire semi privée car tout le monde avait vu sur la terrasse, l’équipement de la chambre était bon avec une machine expresso que nous avions demandé un lit très confortable, des espaces de rangement, une salle de bain avec douche à l’italienne. Un canapé, tout était parfait et une bonne climatisation et surtout un silence d’or, concernant les équipements, une très belle piscine avec maître nageur des transats , et une plage privée, aussi, avec des transats, à mettre un nageur des parasols et un bar de plage. Concernant la restauration et les boissons all inclusive, Cela pêche énormément concernant la nourriture nourriture, c’est une nourriture plutôt de cantine. Pour 23 jours on peut s’y faire pour une semaine ça peut être compliqué. concernant les bars, il y a deux bars dans l’hôtel un sur la plage, un dans l’hôtel, nous avions normalement un accès à toutes les boissons internationales. C’est vrai que la communication est compliquée entre les bars car sur un bar vous avez accès à certaines choses sur un autre accès à d’autres choses. Je pense qu’il y a un fort manque de communication entre les deux bars et la direction. Il faut négocier en permanence avec les barmans

tres bel hôtel

Hôtel vraiment très joli, cadre magnifique, plage un tout petit peu décevante par rapport a certaines plages de l’autre côté de l’île mais elle est très bien entretenue, avec des chaises longues et parasols, et un très joli bar de plage. Nettoyage de la chambre au top, juste un peu décevant de ne pas avoir eu de refill de gel douche / shampoing durant le séjour. Au petit déjeuner le jus est abominable, très décevant pour un hôtel 4**** d’avoir du jus de fruit qui ressemble davantage à une pastille de vitamines effervescentes qu’à du jus frais avec pulpe... Pour le reste, au restaurant, à cause du COVID l’expérience est moyenne car on se fait servir au buffet plutôt que de pouvoir prendre ce qui nous plaît après avoir pu bien voir les plats, voire en goûter un peu avant de se resservir. Globalement, si on a la possibilité, je recommande plutôt d’aller dans une taverne (p.ex Remetzo) du village voisin.
