What sets it apart
The hotel has its own catamaran, the Attitude, and that is what sets it apart: a day on the lagoon from 10 am to 4 pm leaving from the beach, with a snorkelling stop near Coin de Mire island and a barbecue on board, a sunset trip, dinner on board, and even nights aboard. Scuba diving, kitesurfing and deep-sea fishing are also offered, and Ekol’O, the group’s floating marine education platform, is accessible from the hotel. On land, a floodlit tennis court allows play even at night.
The mood
This is an unfussy family hotel: a free kids club from 9 am to 4 pm for ages 3 to 12, craft workshops for children or families, mocktail workshops for teenagers aged 13 to 17, treasure hunts, and baby equipment available to hire. Evenings are hosted five times a week, sega, live music, a DJ or open-air cinema, and a musical campfire, the boma, is held once a week when the weather allows. Thirty per cent of the dishes are vegetarian or vegan, and the minibar is replaced by a refill shop.
