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
