Very friendly staff, very nice palm setting, great yoga, good breakfast
Lunch quality could be improved, buffet salad bar in the evening is too basic
Very Good

Generally acceptable cleanliness; guests mention algae on the beach (not the hotel's fault) and some maintenance signs in rooms, but no widespread cleanliness complaints.
Staff repeatedly described as friendly, warm, helpful and attentive; some notes about tipping pressure from food staff but overall service is a strong positive in reviews.
Excellent beachfront setting and quiet, close to town (~10 minutes by taxi); however many guests note the adjacent sea has rocks and sargassum limiting safe swimming.
Rooms and bungalows are charming, spacious and comfortable for many guests, though some report maintenance issues (showing age, clogged drain, occasional lack of hot water).
Strong amenities cited: pool, yoga (complimentary), beachside cottages, massages and family-friendly wildlife; overall amenities contribute to a relaxed stay.
Perceived as somewhat pricey by several guests (food and overall cost), though many feel the quality justifies the price—mixed but slightly below the overall mark.
Breakfast described as fresh and abundant and some guests found food worth the price; criticisms include limited variety aimed at US tastes, some expensive items and unimpressive cocktails.
Many guests report a wonderful, peaceful and restorative stay ('paradise', 'relax', 'exceptional'), praising atmosphere, staff and location despite a few drawbacks.

“Très bel hôtel!”
Le bungalow 10 est très confortable et au calme nous avons vraiment aimé le service et l'accès à la plage et à la piscine. Malheureusement pour nous il y avait beaucoup de Sargasses mais on ne peut pas blâmer l'hôtel de faire ce qu'il peut pour limiter l'amas d'algues. L'hôtel est très beau, le petit déjeuner très bien et nous recommandons le demi-pension pour les excellents repas du soir. Big up au monsieur qui s'est occupé du ménage de notre chambre.
On a mis du temps à comprendre le fonctionnement de l'eau chaude dans la douche. Les jets skis qui passent trop près de la plage et le fait d'être isolés des lieux avec boutiques et restaurants. La piscine mérite quelques rénovations et changer le linge de lit et de salle de bain.
