Personnel très gentil et serviable. Chambre très bien mais c'est bruyant la nuit avec les climatisations… Nous trouvons dommage qu'en demi-pension, il n'y ait pas une boisson d'offerte avec le repas du soir. Les prix sont chers! Enfin, les tortues géantes de l'hôtel sont dans un tout petit enclos ce qui nous a rendu triste...Néanmoins le monsieur qui s'en occupe est adorable et les aime vraiment!

La 2e nuit, les draps avaient du sable, la sdb aussi…
Went to celebrate my birthday and what a week. The room was very clean and spacious,the staff was amazing, always greeting us with a smile. Thank you for making my birthday special by gifting me a birthday cake/song at breakfast, you made my day. The breakfast was delicious with a variety of food and lots of options but the fruit station was by far my favourite.
Will definitely recommend and return to this hotel

I absolutely loved everything about this hotel. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. I was pleasantly surprised with a birthday celebration at breakfast. This place is amazing. I will definitely stay here again. The ocean view from the patio was a great touch each morning and the sounds of waves to help me sleep at night. A great experience highly recommended.

It is a drive from the airport and over the mountain which can be inconvenient if you don't have a car. My room was a mountain view (still stunning) and parking lot, but the balcony door would not seal, and let out the air conditioning. And the air conditioning struggled to keep the room cool. Over very satisfied, good staff, good food.
Camera nuovissima e curata! Pulizia top. Anche la colazione molto ampia e abbondante. Personale molto disponibile e amichevole

It seems to be an old hotel that is been renovated: even with the new rooms, the whole building is a little decadent, the ar con engines are put in the hallways, the pool and bar are also run down… Staff is very nice though! And hotel is on a really beautiful beach!
Es hat alles gepasst, sehr gutes Frühstück mit großer Auswahl. Wunderbarer Strand!
In der näheren Umgebung waren gute Restaurants mit abwechslungsreichen Speisen zu finden.
The room was clean, the breakfast buffet was great, and the hotel’s beachfront location couldn’t have been better. The staff even came around with cooling towels to give to guests on the beach. The only small downside was some renovation noise near the lobby and pool, but overall I was very happy with my stay. I also had dinner on the property; although the staff were quite busy and meals came out at different times, they stayed attentive and checked in regularly to make sure everything was okay. Beautiful views of the sunset from the restaurant
This is a story about a hotel or management GREED get a hotel located beautifully….but terrible place to stay. If you plan to come here and relax….you are wrong. The hotel management let people who don’t stay at the hotel come to pool restaurant and use the pool all day. The only thing they have to do is to buy a pizza and have a lot of noisy kids destroy your relaxing day at the pool. 2 adults person with 7/8 kids each were entire day in the pool and extremely loud. It became literally like kindergarten…They needed only to buy few pizzas and drinks to use the pool. It didn’t matter for the hotel management that we paid very high price for our stay… but we were forced to leave the pool area because of all loud noise. I saw multiple hotel guests who were staying at the hotel leaving the pool area. This is how greed for extra income makes a hotel look terrible !!!

Half of hotel gets renovated, the other half is finished already and the new rooms look an amazing, but the rest of it looks like a construction site.
The staff were very friendly and even upgraded our room for free, which we really appreciated. The room was clean, the breakfast buffet was great, and the hotel is right by the beach. They also kept our luggage after checkout, which was very convenient. The only downside was some renovation noise in the lobby area, but overall we were very satisfied with our stay.
We got the renovated rooms so the rooms are okey but the restaurant is very old and the staffs are very rude not corporative. The breakfast is average The hotel is not as the picture that you see in the website. A very small swimming pool.so it’s overpriced But The location is perfect so you can go out and explore

Great property, service & location. Conveniently located on a beautiful beach with many restaurants and shops. Room was beautiful, modern and comfortable, and had everything you may need during your stay.
We stayed here for ten days in April 25 and had a great time. It is very convenient for the beach at Beau Vallon and you can go out and have a walk around the area as everything is nearby. The staff were friendly and attentive. Highly recommend and we would stay here again.

In die Jahre gekommenes Hotel, das in Teilen renoviert wird, so dass sich hier wahrscheinlich einiges in der Zukunft ändern wird. Wer es eher ruhig und beschaulich mag, geht nicht in die Beau Vallon Bay, am Strand sind einige Hunde unterwegs und nachts war Party. Wir waren nur 2 Nächte dort, als Spungbrett für die Rückreise. Von daher gerade so ok. Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis passt jetzt noch nicht, vielleicht eher nach der Renovierung
The best hotel in Beau Vallon. Excellent and friendly staff. Perfect location. Everything worked smoothly. Special thanks for hotel manager for complimentary services! Safe place to be. Second time for us at this same hotel. We'll come back soon.
