I had a fantastic stay at the hotel, which is nestled in beautiful gardens and boasts views over the beach and sea. The cleanliness was remarkable, and the staff, especially Julie, the General Manager, and Celine. The breakfast spread was delightful, and I particularly enjoyed the cozy atmosphere created by the mini jungle of palms surrounding the property.
