Charming
Our suite D11 was fabulous with an amazing terrace overlooking the beach and ocean. We would have liked the shutters closed at night to stop the sun coming into the rooms in the morning but this was not done despite our request. The beach is breathtaking and we enjoyed jet skis on the ocean. The dry brown grass is a shame and takes away from the overall charm of the resort. The restaurant L’oursin, despite many claims of a 2 star Michelin chef, was very underwhelming with odd choices in our opinion. However the view from the terrace was spectacular and Alessandro charming and knowledgeable about the wine. We would have liked to try the Italian restaurant but it was closed for dinner on both nights that we were there …

Spent part of our honeymoon here and had the absolute best time. The room was nice, the grounds are beautiful, the beach is gorgeous, the service was unbeatable, and the staff couldn’t have been kinder or more helpful. We also loved the heated pool. Will absolutely be back again!
