The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

During my stay, I was impressed by the variety and quality of food offered at the hotel restaurant. The barracuda dish was excellent, as were the rice dishes which were both healthy and delicious. I truly enjoyed every meal, particularly breakfast which had an excellent selection, including fresh omelets cooked to order. It was a nice dining experience.

Amazing Spa Treatments

I took advantage of the spa services during my stay and could not have been happier. The massages were incredibly relaxing, especially the treatments provided by Bintou. The prices were very reasonable compared to what you usually pay back home, and I indulged in multiple sessions throughout my visit. It greatly enhanced my overall experience.

Great Pool Activities

I loved the pool area at the hotel, especially the fun water activities such as water aerobics and water polo that were organized. There were plenty of sunbeds available, and the pool was always clean. It was a fantastic place to socialize and relax after swimming. I appreciated how the entertainment team made our time by the pool enjoyable.
