sufficient varietyunwelcoming staffextra payment
The breakfast was acceptable. It had a sufficient variety of items.
The staff weren't very cute at reception, it seemed like everything i asked for was a huge problem. the spa isn't part of the hotel, this wasn't clear and meant robes couldn't be worn to the beach. we booked massages but then had to pay an extra €25 to use the pool and sauna. It's unacceptable for a 4-star hotel. I was very frustrated.

the location was convenient to the train station. a view overlooking the bay was available from my room. this made for a relaxing setting.
The furniture in my room seemed old. the mattress felt quite hard. i also noted the limited bathroom amenities. It was just a 2-in-1 shampoo and body gel.

Excellent Location and Service

The hotel boasts a great location near the train station and overlooks the bay. I also spent time at Le Tamerici spa. It was very relaxing. Breakfast took place in the main restaurant with a lovely view and a delicious buffet with champagne.
I was a little disappointed by the additional charge for beach chair and towels. I paid 16 Euros per person.
