Nice, except for the breakfast.

Nice place, the breakfast was expensive and too little to choose from. Beach is great if you like fun waves!

Disliked: Staff & service
Just average, it's rows of interconnected small rooms with little personality and a little worn, e.g. rust in the bathroom. We booked a "superior garden view room" but were placed in room 302 which had view of the beach/parking, I only realised the mistake after checkout, didn't help my overall underwhelmed impression of the hotel.

Don’t book this hotel if you don’t want to pay more. After the free cancellation period of your booking ends, they make their own rules. They send you a link for additional payment (I had to pay my son’s stay twice). If you don’t pay, they don’t give you the keys and you can’t cancel your stay with Expedia anymore. Delphine is irreducible and thinks it’s right. The case is currently with Visa to process my refund.

Le lieu est magique Les chambres sont grandes et confortables Le nécessaire y est même un mini frigo pour trois bouteilles. La plage est à trois minutes à pied Et le restaurant est très bon. N’y cherchez pas la pittoresques cuisine locale, même si le burger corse est très bon. Mais faites vous plaisir avec une carte petite mais variée. Le poké saumon, la salade César. Tout va bien. Le petit déjeuner est parfait. Enfin tout va bien. Bon séjour. Je recommande

Das Personal war super lieb und hilfsbereit. Der Strand direkt vor dem Hotel war Ende August ruhig, sauber und wirklich nett um zu entspannen. Es gab ein lustiges Outdoor-Gym aus selbstgemachten Geräten aus Holz und die vier Esel waren super lieb und konnte man auch streicheln. Das Frühstück war auch voll in Ordnung und hat pro Person 16 Euro extra gekostet - für ein Buffet fanden wir das wirklich ok. Die Zimmer sind sehr minimalistisch eingerichtet und nicht besonders aufregend. Aber das Bett war gemütlich, es war grundsätzlich auch sauber und man hat viel Platz. Der Kühlschrank ist ziemlich klein, wir haben oft Snacks am Nachmittag gemacht und dafür nicht wirklich Platz gehabt. Parkplätze sind auch ausreichend vorhanden. Es gibt im Umfeld der Unterkunft einige Dinge die man tun kann, aber wir sind auch öfters längere Autofahrten zu anderen Stränden gefahren - also man muss mind 30min wohin fahren, wenn man etwas mehr sehen will.

Ein tolles Strandhotel, alles sauber, hilfsbereites Personal, ein gutes Restaurant, direkt am Strand. Der Strand ist praktisch ohne Steine, nur feiner Sand, belebt, aber bei weitem nicht überlaufen, gerade so das man sich nicht ganz allein fühlt. Für uns eine 12 von 10.

Wunderschöner Ort direkt am Meer. Eher etwas abgelegen jedoch erreicht man die Hauptstadt in 35 Minuten mit dem Auto.Die Zimmer sind gross und modern. Das Restaurant top. Was man wissen muss: keine Dusche am Strand und Strandsachen (Tücher, Liegen, Sinnenschirme, etc.) muss man selber mitbringen. Dafür wird die Anlage immer wieder von ein paar Eseln besucht :-). Wir werden wieder die Anlage wieder besuchen! Gerne dann mit wiederverwendbaren Zahnputzgläser anstelle der Plastikbecher - der Rest war absolut top! :-)
