Lovely healthy options for breakfast, plenty of choice. Direct access to the beach and great swimming pool.

Hotel was a little bit shabby in places. Would have been helpful if the information provided was in English as well as French. We ate in the restaurant on our first evening, but the meal wasn't very appetizing, service was quite slow, and the mosquitoes were a really pain, so we didn't eat there again.

Beautiful beach setting, we loved the thalasso as well. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We traveled with our two dogs. The pet supplement of 20 Euro per dog per night is high, but we were pleasantly surprised by the hotel's offer of a pet menu of meat and vegetables once a day, included in this charge. Our dogs loved it and it made us feel welcome as pet owners.

The building is a bit out of date and could use some renovation.

Wonderful, excellent breakfast! All kind of food including fresh oysters! Beautiful position overlooking the Ocean, very nice and comfortable rooms, efficient wifi. We haven't tried the restaurant.

At check-in we were given a weekly animation program, with various activities such as aquagym etc., but most of them were not included in the hotel rate and had to be paid as extra. Well, from such a high-class hotel I would expect such activities to be free.

The location of the property is absolutely amazing. Right on the beachfront. Beautiful views.

The rooms themselves are a bit dated and could use a refresh.

The ocean view is spectacular! Well it’s not the Atlantic Ocean view but it’s still great! You see the ouster Bank when the outgoing tide is. The room is always sunny and it’s Great to enjoy it on the small balcony. Car park was very big so easy to find a parking.

You pay for the view.. the Sofa and the toilet/bath room is a bit outdate for that.

Lack of à la carte choice of dinner upon arrival. Beds and bed covers need refreshment.
