Upscale
"This low-key, down-to-earth hotel in picturesque Grand Case has an authentic island vibe with bougainvillea-draped, cottage-style buildings and two serene beaches." Full review
DK Eyewitness
"Two beaches are just steps away from each large room at this relaxed resort located on landscaped grounds at the end of town."
Star Service
"Up a paved road on the outskirts of this culinary town, this is a casual but popular beachfront getaway that offers a more laidback yet sophisticated approach to a castaway vacation." Full review

The newest units are worth requesting for their fresh island style; these are adjacent to the tennis courts.

"This bundling of bougainvillea-draped buildings sits between two beaches just a short stroll from the action in "downtown" Grand Case." Full review

"Rooms facing the sea. Its sparkling pool sits out on a promontory; there's also a water-sports center and snorkeling a few fin-strokes away, along with an on-site tennis court." Full review

Others praise the beautiful grounds and facilities but caution that those with mobility issues should request a room on the first floor since the resort's elevators are often out of order.
Frommer's
"The resort feels off the beaten track, nestled inside a crescent cove and framed by the lush hills of the Anse Marcel National Nature Reserve...modestly outfitted rooms and suites are pleasant enough" Full review
