Great room, amenities and food. The property is not brand new but it was very well maintained and everything was clean and in excellent condition. The pools were all very clean and well maintained, the beach was incredible and the food was excellent. Great location and you must go check out the lake which was 5 mins away. Excellent resort for a family with children.

Nice beach & pools, small and outdated rooms

The beach and pools are very good, we really enjoyed this part. Sports and evening program, kids club and disco was fantastic - the animation team is doing an amazing job. Reception and restaurants staff are friendly and really nice. You can order transfer from/to airport at the hotel - very convenient, and costs normal. Food was good. We could always find something for adults and kids. The disappointing thing was the bungalows (small and outdated, old and dirty shower, insects (ants) on the floor, strange non-breathable linens). Veranda was ok, and the view on the beach is unforgettable.

Très bon hôtel

On a adoré notre séjour. Le repas dans les restaurants étaient variés et très bons. L’équipe attentionnée et efficace parle français et d’autres langues parfaitement. Les chambres 4700 sont au fond et plus calmes car loin du club enfants et de l’animation du soir. L’animation du soir est faite par des salariés jeunes, sans intérêt. C’est presqu’un sketch. Plage de sable comme piscine nous avons trouvés des transats à toute heure. Salle de sport propre et complète Piscine intérieure non chauffée

Passe grei overnatting i hotellkompleks

Ok for noen netter. Litt for nær motorvei, men nært strand og turområde. Litt for stort hotellkompleks. Mister nærheten til betjening og beboere. For stresset frokost med så mye folk.
