  One of the reasons this hotel is expensive is the Michelin level a la carte restaurants. It is a major draw for people who do not want a buffet. It is a big selling point. However only the buffet is given a mention here and it could be the restaurants people come for were not visited?

  the sea is full of stones, the waves are very big, the hotel is nice and the food is good, but if you want to go to the beach, I don't recommend it.

  Indeed there is, but you really have to go the roof area on the left side. But it is so well separeted that it is very private if you want to sunbath there. Nobody who doesn't have to be there is passing. Been already 4 times in this hotel. I'm not a naturist but it doesn't bother me there is such an area. For me i find it a very good hotel where i surely will return again.
