Séjour agréable, chambre très confortable. Nous sommes arrivés un peu tôt . Nous avons pu disposer de la chambre à 15h . Les infrastructures sont adaptés à ce 5 étoiles . Juste un petit regret eau de la piscine extérieure froide . Cependant belle piscine intérieure, très bon accueil au Spa . Un cadre idyllique très beau jardin avec accès direct à la plage .

Friendly, attentive staff. Comfortable bed. Clean rooms. I didn’t use the spa. The gym could use another eliptical machine and a bench press machine, but it’s fairly well equipped. I recommend eating at other hotels and restaurants in the nearby area. Don’t order their pizza under any circumstances. It’s awful. You can walk to the small beach just to the north, and there is a lovely restaurant on the sand. Great spot for lunch or sunset drinks. The hotel beach is public, but was not crowded (Late March) and is beautiful. Breakfast is always a buffet, over priced, and there’s better food nearby. They offer bikes for free, which is a nice touch.

Service au restaurant pour le dîner lent mais personnel aimable. Plusieurs dîners horribles quand il y a des séminaires, avec des hôtes bruyants et un service encore plus ralenti.

The property was brand new when I visited - with trendy interiors, lovely rooms and near the sea. However, it felt like the hotel was running itself, I've never seen anything like that. The breakfast was packed withstaff wondering around not knowing what they were doing, we would schedule a fitness class and the instructors wouldn't show up, no one had a clue if yoga should be booked or not...it's just a never ending list. We were even lied that the instructor was ill (after no one bothered informing us that the class is not happening) and although we were promised they would schedule a class for the next day and call us, that never happened. The conciarge was lovely and tried helping but she can't run the whole hotel in addition to her regular job. Pools were lively but the number of sunbeds and sun umbrellas were way too low for the number of guests (all the sunbeds would be taken before 10am), I even saw people getting into a physical flight about them - staff didn't react even then, although I asked them to intervene. All in all, a lovely property but completely mismanaged which would probably prevent me from coming back as I don't need all this stress on holiday.

The hotel and grounds are superb. However the swimming pools are prohibitively cold, most guests fold they could not swim. Housekeeping did an excellent job, especially Rosie. The gym is great and the spa area was kept clean.

10/10 Exceptional

A plush modern hotel with superb design features and warm colour scheme. Very large and comfortable room. I enjoyed a complimentary glass of procesco which was very welcoming. The staff were all very helpful and friendly. I consider $35 each morning excessive for breakfast. I opted for room service on a couple of occasions which was excellent - good in room breakfast and 24/7 menu. The pool bar for lunch was good as too was the rooftop bar. Whilst I found the food offered in the restaurant was of high quality I feel the menu was very limited for choice. A little disappointed that the other restaurant was closed as I think another dining option is needed. The gardens surrounding the hotel were attractive with a gate leading down to a very nice beach area complete with a good beach bar for lunch and drinks. A very interesting day trip was organised by the hotel which was delightful. I enjoyed my stay in idyllic surroundings.
