“Excellent !”

Reviewed 7 June 2013

Absolute stunning location: overlooking a marvelous beach with surrounding palmtrees. The infinity pool is large. The two restaurants offer excellent food, breakfast is plentyfull and stylish ! The staff is very attentive and the overall atmosphere is discrete. The spa looks great (but didn't try). Will come back !
