Beautiful beachfront location
Super extensive menu so no need to leave the hotel. Very comfortable beds. Staff were super efficient and so friendly, nothing was a problem. Recommend the sea view rooms.

We had a wonderful one-night stay here before returning home. The staff were all amazing, facilitating a work meeting I needed to have before check-in time, and the room (an ocean-view suite)was fantastic - spacious and private and just a short stroll to the beach which was quiet and although too rough to swim, amazing to be close to. The food was excellent - overall this is a lovely oasis of luxury in a very quiet village.

one of the best
one of the best hotel sad to notice that the surrounding area has also been noticed by big hotel groups and are all building their properties there. so in two years time the area may be crowded and lost some of its calm and quiet now.

Bel emplacement
Dommage il n’y a pas de Spa .
Restaurant et hôtel intimiste.
Très belles plages côtoient l’hote
