The private cabin feel was excellent, clean and private. The beach was 5 min walk away. Breakfast is not "American" style but very good. The hotel is not in the middle of town, you do need a car but having a car is an extra adventure, worth it. We would definitely go back.

The rooms are large and spacious and located perfectly within a 1-2 minute walk to the beach and beach clubs where you will spend your days. Each area has its own pool to lounge at, particularly at the end of the day. The on site restaurant is excellent with a perfect menu of options.

Restaurant is AMAZING & Staff Soooo Great! Location great & room is calm & beautiful ambiance. As Americans, the hard key for room & pool were both difficult & annoying when you can't access without help? Close to Grand Case which is a MUST for foodies & walking to the square for variety of grea t food
