The hotel has a wonderful placement at the seaside, with direct access to the beach which was really nice. The room was nice. It would be much better if the bathroom facilities were in better condition. The washing basin was stuck , it was unpleasant smell from the shower, the cleanliness of the floor in the toilet was not very good.

Overall good but reception poor.

Overall the experience was good. We had an ocean view and the outlook was beautiful. The breakfast service was brilliant, and whilst the choice was not huge, the eggs were to die for. My biggest constructive feedback is the lack of reception from the front desk each time we entered and exited the building, a smile m, warm welcome or hello goes a long way. Furthermore, we did ask for a 12 check out in lieu of 11 and were met with a flat no as told room service needed to do the room, no one made the room up before 12 as we waited by the pool. We were not suprised with this response from the sour face that was the receptionist. Probably my first negative review in a long time so I hope the issue is addressed for future reference.

Frukosten ok. Restaurangen i övrigt mycket bra/prisvärd. Borde dock ägna mer tid på att städa undan disken innan fåglar och hundar kommer för att äta resterna. Städning av rummet bra, men den gjordes sent och de hade ingen egen nyckel. Det fanns bara en fungerande nyckel! Borde städa bättre på området och stranden. Mycket bra fungerande luftkonditionering.

Sehr schön am Strand gelegenes Hotel mit tollem Blick auf den Morne Brabant. Der Pool ist winzig und nicht tief. Das Frühstück war sehr gut und vielfältig. Das Abendessen besteht aus einem 3 Gänge Menü und war ebenfalls sehr lecker. Leider war das Brot 2 x leer und würde auch auf Nachfrage nicht mehr angeboten. Die Parkplatzsituation ist eine Katastrophe, wir mussten immer lange nach einem Parkplatz suchen, weil die wenigen Plätze für die Anzahl der Autos nicht ausreichen.

Ligger fantastisk bra vid stranden med solsängar och fåtöljer, och sittpuffar. Maten var bra. Men skicket på hotellet var inte bra. Slitet och stort behov av upprustning. Poolen badar man inte i,Vi stannade 3 dagar och under den tiden såg vi ingen i poolen. Städningen var inte bra. Vår toalett såg ut som en offentlig toalett, Det var inte riktigt rent på rummet när vi checkade in. Men om man inte har problem med lite sand mellan tårna så är det helt okej Baren kändes som att den tillhörde personalen mer än gästerna, Nya dynor till solsängarna men inga alls till fåtöljerna Det var nära till litet köpcentrum det var väldigt bra. Det fanns mycket personal på hotellet och det kändes väldigt säkert. Tag med bad skor. Det är mycket koraller på denna ö
