Guest Ratings & Reviews
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The location is superb, just a stone's throw away from the beach and surrounded by great dining options. The rooms were clean and cozy, and the staff was incredibly friendly. However, the dining experience left something to be desired with limited breakfast choices. The facilities, especially the pool area, were well-maintained and enjoyable. The price was reasonable, although having to pay extra for Wi-Fi was a small downside.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location was superb, just steps away from the boardwalk and close to many attractions. The rooms were spacious and modern, providing stunning views. The service was top-notch, and the dining experience with authentic French products was a delightful highlight. However, the pricing was a bit on the higher side, and the facilities could use some improvement.
