It was okay, they should just pay attention to the tiny details of making guests more comfortable.
Pros:

Beach access, and the seafood restaurant

Cons:

The room wasn’t as clean, especially the bathroom, shower would get clogged at times. We stayed for 4 nights and the bedding never got changed at all. We had to ask for tea topups as they where not checking these daily. No complimentary water in the room. The burnt oil smell would cloud the room, from the restaurant, i don’t know how. The staff would communicate in their local language, assuming we could hear.

Luxurious Stay
Pros:

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Room service was amazing. The bathroom was really nice with great water pressure. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and my husband and I both, have not slept that well in a long time.

Best thing about our stay was the view, hands down!!

Highly recommend booking a stay with La Montagne. You won't regret it!
