No matter how loudly or frequently the management describe this hotel as 5 star, it is only 3 star as other reviews have also made clear. A 5 star hotel needs 5 star service and 5 star fittings and finish. I attach some photos I took from our room and will let the reader of this review decide whether they are 5 star or not. When we originally arrived at the hotel, we received a pleasant welcome from the attendant in the car park who helped with our luggage. After that it was downhill. We were met with a very surly and unfriendly gentleman on Reception. We went up to our rooms and were told that our luggage would follow us shortly. After half an hour, our luggage had still not been brought up. I rang down to Reception saying we needed our luggage urgently. Again I was met with a very surly tone and told I had to wait. After another ten minutes, I went down to Reception and after I insisted we get our luggage, the receptionist in a most sulky and unprofessional manner flounced out from his desk and brought our luggage upstairs. I note that other reviews have also commented on the poor service from Reception, but nothing gets done to improve matters. I sent an email of complaint to senior management about this poor service but never received anything but a holding email. My complaint was in English because I am English. The reply was written in French. This is not 5 star service. The Hotel management could have come to find me either in our room or at the restaurant during breakfast. They made no effort to do so. This is not 5 star service. 5 star service starts with senior management and it is clear from the formulaic and repetitive replies to bad reviews that they never actually address the issues but instead are frequently couched in meaningless management verbiage eg we have taken your comments to heart and we are working to improve our service. These type of comments from senior management appear frequently, but nothing ever seems to change. I'm sure I will get the same meaningless reply. As one other reviewer made clear the only 5 star feature of this hotel is the view of the sea from the rooms. I would avoid this hotel.
