I had such a wonderful experience that I ended up extending my stay. The breakfast was excellent, the gym was well equipped, and the overall service was outstanding. A truly luxurious hotel!
Our stay was nothing short of amazing! The hotel exudes luxury, the staff went above and beyond, and every moment felt special. We can’t wait to come back.
One of the staff members, Mirelle speaks English and she helped connect us to everything we needed.
The staff are very polite, respectful and always ready to serve, truly inspiring.
I interacted with many staff members like Amin, Isidore, Ornélya, Fassinou, Koku, Uta, Ascension, Tchakounte, Pérou Njoya, everyone was ready to serve, and exceed expectations. A truly amazing team.
I stayed here for my birthday. It’s a beautiful well maintained hotel. The staff are all great. There is a surprising lack of hooks to hang up towels in the bathroom, only one hook so it’s impossible to reuse towels even though that is encouraged for environmental reasons. The tasting menu at L’Ami was fantastic.
service was very poor we requested to keep items in fridge that will spoil it was total chaos . The fridge hardly cools in the room .
The place was overpriced for the class of service it provides cars have to park a km away and not near the entrance and in open air with no shade .
Missed my flight and was disappointed that Expedia still invoiced the hotel and I had to pay for a room that I did not use due to missing flight. My reservation was with breakfast which was not visible in the hotel. So I paid 2x for breakfast. Overall very bad experience during this 3 day stay.
I had a very disappointing experience at this hotel despite its beautiful property.
Upon arrival, we were told the hotel was overbooked, even though I had a confirmed reservation made in advance. After a long 10–11 hour drive, there was hesitation about giving us a room, which was extremely frustrating. Eventually, we were assigned a room, but it was unacceptable—there were ants in the room, the bed and surrounding areas were visibly dirty, and overall cleanliness was very poor. This was shocking for a hotel in this price range (almost $500 per night).
We contacted the manager on duty, and while they did agree to change our room, the entire process was chaotic and stressful. By the time we settled in, it was already very late.
The spa experience was equally disorganized. We had a massage appointment scheduled for 10:30 PM, but we were later told it was only a sauna booking. After nearly two hours of back-and-forth discussions, they finally allowed us a massage—but only for 30 minutes. This confusion carried into checkout day, where due to poor coordination and unclear instructions, we were told we had overstayed and had to rush out under pressure.
The hotel itself is beautiful, but unfortunately, the service, cleanliness, communication, and staff coordination were far below expectations. For a luxury brand, this level of disorder and poor guest experience is unacceptable.
I truly hope management takes guest feedback seriously and improves their operations.
