We stayed with my husband at the Hilton hotel from 01/20/2019 to 01/27/2019.

The +:
- Beautiful hotel, very clean, spacious, attentive staff, clean room, spacious and cleaned every day.
Many FREE activities (or rather included in the price) available: paddle, kayak, pedal boat, boat trip, sailboat, SPA, gym, tennis, bike ride ...

- The excellent morning / noon / evening buffet, of quality, plentiful, with different themes each day.
The hotel's page is clean and well-maintained (beware of cubs and coral though).

- The welcoming, smiling, very respectful, kind staff ... Some servers are extremely professional, others are learning ... but in no way detracts from their sympathy.
Thank you to Natacha for taking care of our room perfectly and for her smile, very touched by her little creative attentions;)
The extremely nice animation team (Steeve, Jessica ..), not at all intrusive for activities and respects the freedom of the holidaymaker who often prefers the deckchair / pool / sea activity!

BEMOLS:

- the price of drinks, excluding pension, is very or even too excessive ... especially coffee, cappuccino, too bad;

- we did not know that men have the obligation to wear pants for dinner, every night without exception, in all restaurants, rated "Smart". A little heartbreaking for a "vacation" atmosphere.

- Flic en Flac does not offer interesting outings, particularly in the evening when it is compulsory to take a taxi to move (or car rental). It is not the best city to walk around in terms of the variety of pubs / bars / restaurants / shops.

- BIG RED CARD TO MARY, A FUIR mandated by the hotel:
An appointment on your arrival, which will take you time and especially UNDER! The excursions are OUT OF PRICE and, for the most part, not always worth it. The meals are lousy, Marie is not at all accommodating and just wants to do business to boost her communication, too bad, the customer is not just a wallet on legs ...
I strongly suggest that you hire a car and / or hire a guide, which is less expensive with less waste of time in the "tourist trap" shops not mentioned by Marie during the sale.
Do not go through the hotel for your excursions which are widely publicized. Also for changing currency. No commissions at the airport unlike at the hotel ...
The island is small and "safe" enough to be completely independent.
If you want a vehicle, see the agencies directly (airports or surroundings) 59euros per day via Marie, approx. 35th the day by a rental agency type Avis .. with the same conditions (insurance ..).

We still retain some positive and a good trip "break from the routine".
