Comfortable rooms, excellent breakfast. Buffet dinners are also excellent and reasonably priced, with a variety of local and seafood dishes. The beach next door is nice with natural shade although not really swimmable except at high tide. Good wifi, straightfoward parking.

Notre séjour est mitigé : la chambre a été bien , spacieuse, agréable , à revoir les oreillers trop petits . La piscine est très grande et agréable mais le liner se décolle . Le personnel : il y a 2 équipes 1 le matin et 1 l’après midi . Celle de l’après midi est très sympa , souriante et professionnelle. Celle du matin en revanche au petit dej : ils font la gueule, pas agréable , on voit qu’il y a des tensions entre eux et se font des remarques devant le client. Le gros point négatif est la salle du petit déjeuner : des oiseaux viennent se nourrir à même les tables des clients, dans les cueilleres des plats au buffet. il y en a partout et les sièges sont recouverts de fiantes.. niveau hygiène on se pose des questions. Le personnel ne nettoie pas les sièges et ne chassent pas les oiseaux.. ils faudrait penser à fermer cet espace ça résoudrait le problème qui dure depuis longtemp au vu des autres avis. Le repas du soir est plutôt correct et l’animation est agréable. C’est dommage parce qu’en résolvant ce problème d’oiseaux, ce serait un super hôtel.

Die Unterkunft ist schön angelegt mit vielen tropischen Bäumen und Sträuchern. Das Zimmer war sauber und ruhig gelegen. Das Bad könnte aber eine kleine Auffrischung gebrauchen. Das Frühstück war sehr eintönig. Es gab jeden Tag das Gleiche zu essen, überhaupt keine Abwechslung. Bei zwölf Übernachtungen wäre es doch wünschenswert. Zum öffentlichen Strand kommt man durch ein Tor und einen kleinen Kasuarinenwald, indem vor allem am Wochenende die Einheimischen Picknick machen. Leider wird der Müll nicht immer wieder mitgenommen. Der Strand ist voller Korallen, so dass wir uns dort nicht hingelegt haben. Die Parkmöglichkeit war okay.

Point fort : la localisation près du lagon, les chambres sont propres Point faible : lorsque des groupes arrivent, parfois la piscine devient inutilisable car ballons, bouées, plongeons … enfin tout ce qui est interdit en théorie ! Pas d’ananas au petit déjeuner (toute la semaine), le dimanche il n’y a pas de buffet de desserts. Malgré la localisation, je reste sur une fin de séjour négative
