Oasis Bluff Beach

Oasis Bluff Beach

10/10 Excellent
"Magnifique hôtel face à la plage. Cadre idyllique autant pour les chambres que les espaces extérieurs. Nous avons en plus eu la change d'être surclassé. Le personnel est vraiment très gentil et attentionné. On peut voir des singes, des paresseux... Le restaurant propose des plats excellents. L'hôtel se trouve à une vingtaine de minutes du centre. Ce n'est pas gênant mais il faut en tenir compte pour prévoir ses déplacements."
