The setting is idyllic. From the outside, the architecture blends perfectly with the traditional building style. Inside, the modern vibe is appropriately beach front. There are good (if not exceptional) bistro and gourmet restaurants on site. The price point is reasonable. Perhaps because I spend 70 or more nights in mostly 4 star hotels each year, and have done so for decades, I am a bit attuned to what makes a traveler comfortable and what does the opposite. Our room here was spacious, and on some points rather comfortable, i.e. bed, desk, some of the lighting. But in other respects, there were some very annoying flaws. Having a narrow water closet, with an in closing door with 2 inch clearance to the end of the toilet is stupid, unless you are catering to two dimensional clients. There is a fairly large enclosed shower. The door opens outward, blocks the towel rack, and most significantly, there is a 10 inch drop to the bathroom floor. At best, this is odd, and at worst,a real safety hazard. There would be plenty of room to put a hook at the far end of the shower for a towel. Otherwise, are you supposed to hand one on the door knob? A shower gel bottle with a tendency to get stuck. A bright light near the sink, a good idea. Placing it on one side, so the other side is in perpetual shadow, not so smart. With the spacious floor space, you have two large teardrop chairs really low to the floor. So low, you might as well sit on the floor. Getting in and out of the them is excruciating unless you regularly practice yoga, and not everyone does. You have the usual expected niceties; flat screen television (although no English or other ”foreign” language channels. A large armoire, with those we don't trust you hangars you have to pull out of the sockets. A coffee maker, safe, minibar. A better than average breakfast in the bistro, and at 24 Euros per person, that might be expected. Plenty of free parking if the attractions across the street are not at capacity. A small underground garage for hotel guests too. So, a rather good hotel that could be better.
Outstanding
