What sets it apart
The house has suites only, and the largest have their own private pool. The Junior suites, from 55 to 67 square metres, open onto the tropical garden and have a bathtub. The Senior suites, of 74 square metres, come either beachfront on the ground floor or with a sea view upstairs. The Royal suites, from 80 to 104 square metres, also open onto the garden and have a private pool. The hotel welcomes couples and families alike, which sets it apart from its three sister hotels, two of which are adults only.
The mood
Two tables. The main restaurant serves a buffet breakfast from 7.30 am to 10.30 am, lunch from noon to 3 pm and dinner from 7 pm to 10 pm, with local and international cuisine and themed dinners. The fine-dining restaurant serves à la carte, from noon to 3 pm and from 7 pm to 10 pm, a refined international cuisine with ocean views. Two bars: a pool bar facing the lagoon, with live music by local artists at sunset, and a lounge bar at the heart of the lobby. In the evening the restaurants ask for elegant dress, and long trousers for men.
