La plage est magnifique.
Les plus : la qualité de la literie, la douche et la chambre sont spacieuses et propres, plusieurs piscines agréables avec vue sur l'océan, la chambre est faite plusieurs fois par jour. L accueil et la disponibilité du personnel est remarquable. Endroit adapté aux familles et aux bébés. La gentillesse du personnel est ce qui me ferait certainement revenir dans cet établissement. Tout le personnel est très agréable avec le bébé. Menu bébé et enfant à chaque repas.
Les moins : la qualité de la nourriture est bonne mais pas exceptionnelle. Beaucoup d escaliers pas très pratique avec une poussette. Le ravitaillement en eau potable dans la chambre est pauvre.
Nous avons passes de belles vacances au Lux* le Morne. Merci à tout le staff pour nous avoir fait passé de belles vacances.
The location is the shining star - The beach is kept pristine and there are an abundance of sunbeds and bean bags. Just about enough to satisfy a full hotel. The sun beds aren't that comfy and despite a button to call staff by each one it is hit and miss as to whether someone comes to take your order. When they do - beware the cost..
We booked half board because of the exceptionally high cost of all inclusive. I also don't drink, which is where you get most of the benefits of an all inclusive package. What will, until my dying day, be a massive no no for a good hotel, is to find that they charge you for water. This hotel is THE MOST CONFUSING when it comes to this: At breakfast on half board you get free water, tea and coffee - but at dinner you do not. It's just money grabbing and very, very confusing if you are on half board - why one rule for breakfast and another for dinner?
This hotels ‘rules’ are equally confusing - does the restaurant charge or not charge? Or when does it charge? And then what does it charge for and what doesn't it charge for? Eventually we settled on just going to the same restaurant every night - The Kitchen - which was appropriately named and honestly like a glorified self-serve Butlin’s canteen.
The food: the look of the food was good and there was plenty of choice, but most of it fell down on taste. Everything was just so bland. Fish fried fresh in front of you - bland, desserts that looked eye-wateringly good - bland. I ended up just having plain pasta with oil and garlic every night from the pasta station!
The highlight to the restaurant for me were the three cats who wandered round begging scraps. Funnily enough they had developed a certain palate and wouldn't be fobbed off with anything less than sashimi or striploin beef (all bland too!).
The bedroom is something that is to be praised for its design and layout. The standard of the cleaning and maid service not up to par and so very random. They were however FASTIDIOUS when it came to checking the mini bar! That was never left unchecked! Not surprising with this hotel as they even put coconut water for sale next to the free water stations on the beach!
I wasn’t prepared for - misogyny - I was really surprised how many men here would only talk to the man.
As a honeymoon destination I simply say don't go here. These guys are professionals at selling the dream. As a result they are raking it in hand over fist to bring in a bunch of people at their biggest ever spending time on a holiday - it's quite cynical and as a honeymoon couple you won't feel special as everyone else here , pretty much, is on honeymoon too. The honeymoon package looks good but is in fact a bit ‘meh’ The ‘bubbles and canape toast to love’ on our terrace was hilarious, for me, a slice of cucumber and an apple juice and for him a glass of warm “Welcome wine” and a soggy snack. This was served on our terrace at some time between 4.00pm and 5.00pm. I kid you not. The best part of the package was the massage but honestly I’d rather pay less and not have it.
We started joking to ourselves that a stay here left us feeling like hotel inspectors rather than honeymooners. I wish we had gone elsewhere with our budget now.
