Disappointment
sarahandguitar (Montreal) on Dec 27, 2025
I came a long way with my husband and two children for a beach vacation. We are very disappointed in the beach and the guest services. The beach and pool: This is our 4th full day here. Except for our first day, we haven't been able to swim in the ocean due to the tremendous amount of sargassum on the beach. Piles of it. We have spoken to guest services, who tell us that the beach will be cleaned, but then have changed the story when it isnt, and even had one representative tell us that he went swimming this morning and that it is clean. Please see picture of what it has been like for the last 3 days. We therefore have had to use the pool, which is not what we had come for, especially with adolescents, as there is not much to do in the pool except to wade and avoid guests throwing and catching balls in it. To make matters worse, although signs say that guests are not to reserve seating around the pool with their towels, by 7:30 am there are almost no empty chairs. So if guests can't use the beach nor lay by the pool for lack of chairs, what is there to do? It would be quite reasonable to enforce the rule for the courtesy of all guests. A la carte eating: When we arrived we were asked to download the hotel app in order to reserve an a la carte restaurant. We did so right away but have not been able to get a reservation. Guest services have told us to go back each morning to see if there is a cancelation but none yet. We were told today that maybe there would be an availability on the 27th. We are leaving on the 26th. I won't delve into the people constantly bothering guests to take pictures with birds, go on excursions or the like because in the grand scheme of things, that isn't what has made this trip so disappointing, but I am mentioning it in case others would find this uncomfortable. The reason I am attributing the 2 stars is that the buffets have quite a lot of choice in food, the drinks and coffee are plentiful, and apart from the fact that those with whom we spoke at guest services did not help us with a reservation nor did they seem concerned about the fact that we can't use the beach, the staff are smiley and kind. We are trying to make the best of the weather and our time together, but truly, for the amount that we spent on this trip and after having read about the beautiful beach, it is such a disappointment. Update: I think it only fair to say that after having seen my review, a manager came to see us and asked me if I could explain the situation. I did, and we were given two a la carte reservations, some complementary sweets, and she offered her apologies on behalf of the hotel for the disappointments. Though this was much appreciated, I cannot recommend this resort as, sincerely, the beach was unusable for 5 of the 7 days we were there.

The beach and the hotel infrastructure are a major plus of this hotel. The area is beautiful, well maintained, and very pleasant to spend time in. The food was very good, with a nice variety and good quality. On the downside, the bed was extremely soft, which made it difficult to sleep well. In addition, the service was only average and could be more attentive. Overall, the hotel has great potential thanks to its location and food, but comfort and service could be improved.
