Basse condizioni igieniche
Pros:

Posizione e piscina

Cons:

Condizioni igieniche davvero pessime.
Al nostro arrivo abbiamo dovuto immediatamente segnalarlo, non essendo solitamente persone schizzinose, ma il livello di sporco era davvero eccessivo. Il personale è intervenuto subito per effettuare una pulizia ma nonostante l’intervento la stanza è rimasta comunque sporca e al di sotto degli standard di igiene che ci si aspetterebbe (palesemente puliscono solo certe cose, ma il resto no e anche da diverso tempo)
La doccia esterna faceva pochissima acqua (comunque calda)

Pros:

Es gab einen großen Wasserkanister pro Zimmer. Dazu gab es am Restaurant kostenlose Daybeds.

Cons:

Beim auschecken haben wir uns erkundigt, ob wir die Koffer dort noch lassen können. Es kam keine Reaktion, obwohl die Sachen gelesen wurde. Etwas schade.

Vraiment incroyable ! Je recommande les yeux fermés cet établissement.
Pros:

L’établissement était vraiment super, il est super bien entretenue, il est propre, calme, un vrai havre de paix sur cette île magnifique.
Nous avons été accueilli de façon exceptionnelle, les membres de l’hôtel sont tous d’une gentillesse et d’une bienveillance impeccable.
Le petit déjeuner au bord de la plage est vraiment un plus à l’établissement.

Overall, it was a good stay.
Pros:

The room is spacious, there’s a big fridge and a water dispenser which is very convenient. I love the outdoor shower, the only downside was there was a huge lizard in the shower area but the staff was there to help us manage it. We couldn’t get rid of the huge lizard which is understandable as it was just in its habitat but it made us scared to use the bathroom every time. The location of the beach club is beautiful and can be accessed by guests for free.

Cons:

It’s more about the staff in the beach club/restaurant. They are nice and kind however there seems to always have confusion when you order something. They don’t seem to communicate amongst each other which table is having what despite them writing orders on a piece of paper. And when you call them to ask for something, they look confused and surprised.

Pros:

La posizione ottima, camera accogliente anche se un po’ buia. I ragazzi del personale molto gentili e molto disponibili

Cons:

La prima sera abbiamo avuto alcuni problemi con frigo e con mancanza di acqua nel bagno (wc e lavandini). Lo staff si è subito premurato di assisterci ma la problematica non è stata risolta per 4/5 ore, perciò la situazione è perdurata fino all’una e mezza di notte circa. Il giorno dopo dovevamo svegliarci molto presto per fare immersioni, chiaramente il tutto ci ha creato disagi.
Non è di per sé questa problematica ad impattare il mio giudizio sulla struttura, perché sono cose che possono capitare a tutti e anzi, è stato risolto tutto con molta gentilezza. Ciò che non ci è piaciuto è il fatto che a colazione il manager della struttura abbia detto a mio marito che per scusarsi ci avrebbero offerto il caffè o cappuccino durante le colazioni (essendo esclusi dal menù). Questo è stato vero, solo per mio marito, solo la prima mattina, nonostante il disagio principale sia stato causato a me. Non siamo persone che abusano della gentilezza altrui ed avevamo quasi tutte le mattine immersioni prenotate molto presto. Perciò io personalmente sono potuta andare a fare colazione solo l’ultima mattina. Quando ho ordinato il caffè mi hanno detto che avrei dovuto pagarlo, gli ho ricordato della gentilezza per scusarsi e sono stata gentilmente invitata a pagare perché già avevano offerto un cappuccino a mio marito. Francamente, non è per il costo in sè, che è veramente irrisorio, ma come gesto non ci è piaciuto per niente.

Top
Pros:

Les équipements étaient top, il y avait tout, même un distributeur d’eau dans la chambre. Le petit déjeuner sur la plage était copieux avec beaucoup de choix et excellent. Les services etaient top également, ce n’est pas précisé mais si vous réserve cet hôtel vous avez accès à leur beach club gratuitement, qui est l’un des plus grand de la côte.

Cons:

Le personnel était un peu absent, il n’était quasi jamais à l’accueil, mais ce n’était pas dérangeant en soit.
