Good to know
- This is an adults-only hotel: it rules out families with children.
- Epicure serves dinner only: lunch is at Ti Lambic, on the beach, 12.30 pm to 5 pm.
- The central bar closes at 11.45 pm, the beach bar as early as 5 pm.
- Telephone bookings are taken only on weekdays and Saturday morning; outside those hours, write.
- Palmar beach continues Belle Mare: the east coast is windier than the west, which pleases windsurfers and less so swimmers who feel the cold.
