A very decent hotel (a solid four-star). Good daily cleaning, a 1.5L bottle of water in the room, and essential toiletries (shampoo, shower gel, soap, slippers). A special thanks for the lovely welcome gift: a bottle of sparkling wine, a woven basket for the beach or a picnic, a hotel logo T-shirt (men's), and a very beautiful sarong. Excellent staff. Huge thanks to Francesco (who speaks fluent Russian) for organizing the birthday celebration. A very pleasant surprise was the free upgrade to a full-board meal plan (we had initially chosen half-board). This was likely due to the pool renovation. Mid-vacation, there was a grand opening for the pool with a cocktail party. There's no direct sandy access to the sea from the hotel, but two beaches are quite close: Trou-aux-Biches to the left (developed, with sun loungers – didn't use them so don't know the cost – and decent snorkeling), and Mont Choisy to the right ('wild'). If you walk a bit further down, there are also sun loungers. Both are about a 10-minute walk. There's also good sea access immediately on both sides of the hotel property: a sandy entry to the left (right after the à la carte restaurant) and concrete slabs to the right (they say there are stonefish somewhere to the left in the rocks, several of them – we didn't encounter any, but aqua shoes are recommended, and generally useful everywhere). As for cons, there was a sewage smell in the bathroom.
