Pros:

Location, staff, cleanliness. Room was great but a bit strange. Fine if you are with a partner, husband, wife but not great if with a friend or colleague. Shower kept going between hot and cold.

Cons:

No bar

Pros:

Petit déjeuner très copieux et varié. Personnel sympatique. Espace détente accessible sans frais, superbe et complet (salle de sports, sauna, hamman, jacuzzi). Belle terrasse sur le toit, mais piscine vraiment très petite. Bonne situation dans la ville, à plus de 10 minutes à pied de la plage. Parking payant environ 30€ sur place ou à proximité. Je recommande pour les prestations.

Cons:

Les dimensions de la piscine.

Very relaxing stay in a lovely hotel in a beautiful resort.
Pros:

Really liked the overall ambiance of the hotel, supported by super friendly and helpful staff. Room was really quiet and very comfortable and all the Facilities were excellent with a lovely rooftop pool area.

Cons:

The plumbing needs attention as the shower can be hit or miss temperature wise and in the mornings we had a low pitched whistle noise from the pipes and sometimes reduced water pressure, including the popping sound of the sink draining after each use. But these were only minor issues.

Nice hotel but not very gay
Pros:

The hotel was super clean. The location is good enough.

Cons:

It would be better if there was more atmosphere at the pool area. A bar, or even some music playing.

For a gay hotel, there were very few gays here. Was mostly straight people

Very nice and clean all over!

We got a really nice and big room! It was cleaned every day! Very nice!
