“Ideal for budget travelers and families”
This was unlike any place I’ve ever stayed. It was like a hotel and vacation rental hybrid: you tidy up yourself. It’s family friendly: kitchen facilities, play areas, game room, big yard, very close to the beach and the market.

“Wonderful stay at family run hotel close to the town and beach!”
Lovely stay at this friendly, family run hotel (ex convent). Rooms were modern with ensuites. Great facilities to prepare your own food as well as breakfast includes. Nice shaded outdoor areas to relax. 2 mins walk from Carrefour supermarket and nice part of the town and shops. 200m from lovely long sandy beach. Other facilities such as a spa and aquatics center nearby. Very nice relaxing time here.

“Hotel Camping at its best, relaxed and fun”
Breakfast was do it yourself, eat as much as you wished unless food ran out and was not always refilled. Coffee machine made great coffee but needed the decaffeinated option. Its like a 3 star bedroom with modern facilities in the room and camping facilities for catering for yourselves.

The location was great: only a few minutes' walk from the beach and the shops, restaurants etc... The 'maison familiale ' concept was very convivial. We liked the outdoor kitchen and eating in the park alfresco.
