Good to know :

• This hotel is on a slope down to the beach, so there are a lot of stairs everywhere on the site. Not recommended for people with reduced mobility.

• Originally built to be a «Club Med», this project never saw the light of day (political issue). The "Economic rooms" were supposed to be accommodations for the staff (G.O), that's why this section is further back, away from the common areas, services and beach (~ 10 minutes' walk).
