We only stayed one night, but really enjoyed it and wish we had more nights here. It recently opened so the areas are in good condition and nice lounge areas with amazing view. The beds were comfortable. We only got to try the «buffet» for lunch which was quite nice. Not that many guests for now which I liked.

2/10 Poor

This was a very disappointing experience. I had arrived after a long day of travelling to discover that I had booked the wrong dates and was supposed to arrive the previous day. I always double, triple check the dates when I am booking, but I guess I made a mistake. Once this was realized, I was really hoping the staff would help me resolve this as painlessly as possible. I asked for any kind of break on staying another night, specifically said even $50 off (from $240) would be huge. They responded with a hard no. They made it clear that this was my fault and they had no intention of helping. "Go and check the apps if you want a better price" is what the manager told me. No attempt at all to be empathetic to my situation, with very much a "why should I help you" attitude. I would understand if the place was busy and it was costing them money to give me a break, but it was empty... based on the people I saw, I would estimate they were at 10-15% capacity, tops. In the next 20 minutes after this interaction, I had someone come into my room to "check on the water", then 5 minutes later someone came to "check my bed was made", and then 5 minutes later my wifi cut out! The wifi cut out about 5 times in the night I was there. The beach is also tiny and you will be swarmed with locals trying to sell you stuff. All that being said, other than the manager, the staff was very friendly.

Ikke som forventa. De har flere spisersteder innpå hotellet men veldig liten meny å lite tilvalg. Tok og opp til 1 time før maten kom. Å var ikke som visst på bilde. Kjedelig mat å dårlig renhold mye støv på gulv.

Tout était parfait! Le service, la qualité des prestations, l’accueil et la gentillesse du personnel. La cuisine était particulièrement bonne, riche et variée. Un très large choix au buffet et surtout qualitatif. Une vue imprenable sur une belle plage avec de belles piscines et beaucoup d’espaces pour les bars et autres endroits detente. La salle de sport est bien aussi.
