We asked for a late check out and they didn’t allow it. We had a child with us and we needed an extra hour. It would have been a nice gesture to allow us that late check out. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly and welcoming.

Très bel hôtel bien placé avec une plage privée et des services comme parasol transat glacière permettant de bien s’adapter à la chaleur
Les chambres sont un peu vieillottes, elles mériteraient un rafraîchissement.
Le petit déjeuner est excellent ! Omelette et pancacke effectués à la demande
Excellent séjour pour deux nuits l’impression d’avoir été complètement déconnecté !

Excellent breakfast service from Mohammed Salah and Racquel.
Overall really enjoyable stay. One minor inconvenience was that the air conditioning in our room didn’t work so it was too hot in the room.
