Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offered clean and comfortable rooms at a somewhat high price point of over €120 a night. The room was small and dark but spotless with a good size bathroom, making it suitable for a short stay. The service was rated highly for being very helpful and accommodating, especially with our limited French. The location was top-notch, just a minute's walk from a beautiful sandy beach, but the dining experience, though okay, was considered overpriced for the quality. The facilities were solid overall.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a king-size bed, sofa, tables, and air conditioning, although the bathrooms can be quite dark. The staff provides helpful service despite some issues with missing poolside covers and floor slabs needing attention. The location is ideal for a quiet beach getaway, but a bit far from the main town. The dining options are basic and need to be arranged in advance at a high price. Facilities are satisfactory with safe parking and helpful staff.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. On the bright side, the staff were exceptional, the location was delightful, and I enjoyed the option to eat outside. However, the rooms were small and not as expected, the breakfast service felt a bit too demanding, and the dining was quite expensive. Overall, a pleasant but not perfect experience.
The hotel is conveniently located just in front of the beach, offering a nice swimming pool and a quiet atmosphere. The rooms are clean and comfortable but a bit dark, especially the bathrooms. The friendly and knowledgeable staff enhance the overall experience. However, the dining options are reasonable but slightly expensive, and some areas need updating.
I woke up in the morning from a good night's sleep in the large beds with an excellent view over the bay, but overall, we were upset that we didn't get the room we asked for. The hotel could benefit from having a kettle and fridge in family rooms. The manager confirmed via email that we had the ground floor room, but the stained carpet in the room looked like dogs' pee, and we couldn't see over the balcony when sitting at the table. The walls were in urgent need of painting.
