Room was practical clean and comfortable for our needs. Sleep and hot shower clean linen and towels for a family of 4 with two young kids best suited to our room which was one of the smaller on the property. Staff were very polite helpful and responded to our needs

“Great for short break in a quiet area”
Perfect for a short break. There is a really lovely and clean pool area, friendly reception staff who allowed us to check in an hour early after a long journey and the secure parking was great. Breakfast was ok. The hotel is in a quiet area of the island and about a 20 min walk to Sainte-Marie where there are a couple of restaurants there on the lovely square, the food wasn’t right for our family with kids but was lovely to enjoy a drink.

“Very quiet and not suited for families”
I should have researched more as this hotel was way off the beaten track. We have 3 kids under 7 and this hotel does not cater for kids. The facilities were fine but very much retirement home vibes. The breakfast was fine but they served no other food and there was no restaurant or shops in walking distances with 3 small kids. The apartments also weren't equipped for cooking even though they supplied pots and pans. When I asked for some pasta that we had to be boiled on the hotel kitchen, they told us they didn't have boiling facilities. All in all the trip was good but VERY quiet and not suited for families... especially if are are cycling and looking to visit the likes of La Flotte and Saint Martin.
