    A little piece of paradise.

    • Stayed 8 nights

    Mixed messages from the team at times - beach bar changed its opening times mid-stay, said they weren’t selling pizzas when they should have been etc. Toilet in the room wouldn’t flush properly a lot of the time.

    Great choice of food for buffet breakfast and dinner. Comfortable, large beds in spacious bungalow room on the sea front. Great space around the pool and on the beach. Friendly team comfortable with both French and English. Beautiful location off the main road with a private beach. A fab choice for fans of Death in Paradise as close to all the filming sites. Only 45minute drive from the airport in one direction and zoo in the other.

    No coffee/ tea making facilities in room. Parking outside hotel grounds and no shuttle available during whole stay despite sign saying that a golf buggy would ferry your luggage. Had to carry 2 big bags a long way to bungalow rooms in the heat!! Poor for a resort of this price.

    Very peaceful and good location. Comfortable bed and good food. Buffet breakfast extensive and buffet dinner good value for money at €32

    Room was small but nice, huge sliding glass doors to balcony that gave a wonderful view of the ocean. AC didn't work well at all 27c/81f first three days and I complained every day. Finally the rest of the week it got down to 24c/75f and we had to keep the bathroom door shut to get it that cool. Mini refrigerator didn't work when we got there but they exchanged it with another one that did. The electric is European style 240v so if traveling from the US take a power converter if you want to plug anything in. Breakfast only had the made to order egg station one day of the week, this should be open everyday. Scrambled Eggs were inconsistent, too dry most days, too runny to eat one day. Variety the same all the time, never any French toast or pancakes.

    Location was great, very nice beach with plenty of shade and chaise lounges. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful. Staff speak English very well. Breakfast selection of fresh fruits, yogurt and toppings, breads and juices were very nice.

    A wonderful place for a quiet rest

    • Bungalow with Partial Sea View
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The bungalows could be maintained a little better

    The hotel is a resort with several types of accommodation. We lived in a small, not very richly equipped bungalow, partly overlooking the sea, with simple, Scandinavian-style furnishings. The bed was really big and very comfortable. However, the elements of the building could have done with some maintenance. There was water in the tap all the time, which is not always obvious on the island. The restaurant has a magnificent view of the sea, I enjoyed eating there. The breakfast buffet was very rich. The cook was very nice, he cooked the eggs with great effort. Unfortunately, he did not know how to make an omelette. We could buy cocktails on the beach. Unfortunately, we spent a short time there and could not use the other options. When we left, they organized the transfer to the port at our request.

    It seems to me that the hotel is run by children and minors and not by experienced hotel managers. Savings are made where possible. Sometimes it would like to paint something, repair it, renovate it, everything is starting to visibly age. Absurdly short opening hours of the pool until 19:00, when you return from a trip in the dark, without a chance to swim. Even if you know it in advance, non-functioning internet in the room and available only in common areas, nowadays surprises. Early in the morning, the back services do not work, no one will help you with your suitcases from the room. It is not possible to park right next to the resort, but guests of neighboring higher buildings have it, why? Chaotic cleaning - the cleaning lady didn't come for two days, she wiped the floor at the cabin next door, not at ours. Towels are only changed at the reception, where there is usually only one member of staff, and if you catch people checking in or checking out, you can wait tens of minutes.

    Excellent dinners at a reasonable price, it's just a shame that they are also accessible to non-accommodating guests. This is not usually the case - in the bathroom, the water flows instantly and there is also a strong enough stream of water. Quality cocktails, albeit unfortunately in plastic containers. Beautiful location of the resort, helpful and kind staff. Tennis courts (watch out for the occasional hanging net).

    Only buffet on offer. Only basic food at the beach bar. No a la Carte. No service by the pool. Toilets locked. Breakfast buffet was cold unless you ordered the omelette.

    Our huts were gorgeous with a view of the resort and the sea, very comfortable.

    Excellent Overall...When the Cuisine is Improved, Well Be Back!

    Our main issue is the cuisine, which is need of an executive chef to upgrade the quality and choices, particularly dinner buffet. Dinner offerings were limited and not wonderful. The ice cream presentation was unappealing and messy looking. The grounds and beach area need some sprucing up. A few places looked very shabby and run down. We don't play tennis, but are the enormous green HEAD banners flanking the courts really necessary? They were a bit of an eyesore. Although our room in bungalow #4 was comfortable, it could have used more hooks and the bathroom was very snug.

    Breakfast, snack bar items and cocktails/drink selection were very good. Comfortable and ample pool chairs and extensive grounds. You never felt crowded or in search of beach chairs, and we were in peak season. Well done. Excellent generous towel policy, unlike some other places on the island. Super comfortable bed. An abundance of hot shower and tap water...that really rates with us. Good thick towels changed daily.

    The beach bar was under equipped and under staffed for the sunset cocktail hour. They need more blenders and blender tops and more glassware. We would have liked more food options at the beach bar as well. Simple snacks would be fine, but choices were limited for evenings we didn’t want to do the whole dinner buffet. I also felt the wine selections were limited and my husband loves rum but the resort ran out during our first few days.

    Loved the beach, our bungalow, staff friendliness, breakfast especially the hot milk for coffee.

    As Death in Paradise fans visiting from Ireland, it was ideal for our interests.

    It would help if there was some mention of the insects and how to combat them as we were bitten a number of times. Also, although we don't generally watch television we wanted to watch a rugby match...Ireland v. France... but were told that although we had a television, none of the televisions in the cabanas were operational. No point in having televisions if they don't work. It would also help if there was some signage at the front gate to inform customers that they should park and walk up to register.

    The facility, meals and staff were outstanding as was the tour we took of Death in Paradise locations.

    The food selection was not that great. All buffet for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Very limited selection and often cold. You have limited night life as well. Music is not every night. They could use some updating on some of the buildings however looks like they are working on it. There were only one set of restrooms working by the restaurant and if you were at the beach you had a long walk. The property is spread out so if you have limitations could be an issue. You are about an hour with traffic from the airport. Taxis are very, very expensive; I would recommend renting a car. However the traffic is really bad so be prepared.

    The grounds are really beautiful. The beach is nice and you have plenty of chairs and shade to enjoy. Room was comfortable even though it was small. Air conditioning worked great. The staff was very friendly and helped us with our needs. We were there for 3 days and it was very relaxing. They do have excursions that you can book a day in advance. This property has one of the prettiest beaches on the island.

    Breakfast could have more variety of fruits and sweets such as cakes. Some staff couldn't answer some questions regarding hotel activities. We requested a soap bottle, which was missing in the room, but never received it.

    Beach is awesome. Room was comfortable and we booked two rooms which were connected by a balcony. Very practical. Receptionist was very receptive. She gave us free drinks while waiting for the golf car.

    Room was quite basic and quite dark at night with only three lamps. What we we couldn’t understand was why the toilet and the shower room were separate and there wasn’t even a sink in the toilet. Dinner options were quite limited
