We have never ever experienced such horrible people on any vacation or hotel we’ve been at. The women pushed her way through our hotel room door like a maniac and started yelling at us because we had a loaf of baguette (bread) in our room. We were shocked to say the least from such primitive behavior! With intelligence, one could have handled the issue with professionalism. Just speechless. Also if this bothered them they should have mentioned that you cannot eat a baguette in your hotel room in their information section on booking.com., and not send an email with this information shortly before you arrive for check-in. Blinds from room were taped up with silver duck tape. Therefore the blind could not be lowered, defected motor. Little chair and small sofa were covered with disgusting stains, entrance door to room and bathroom were damaged and blotched, sloppy covered with layers of paint. Shower cord was old, and bed spread was also really old and worn out, we did not want to sleep with it on bed or sit on the sofa either. Isolated area. Sea and view was very pretty and nice BUT COWS on beach could be for some interesting however the cow poop everywhere and flies was absolutely not nice. No accommodations for those that can’t speak French, everything written in French only, and menus at all nearby restaurants. Because of isolation, restaurants were super expensive. Thanks to Booking.com they refunded our money and we left the island and decided to head to Italy, where we enjoyed the pleasant, and super friendly staff and Italian people (that didn’t mind us eating a bit of bread in our room that we rented )!
