CASUARINA RESORT & SPA
Avec ses murs chaulés de blanc, ses bâtiments mi-grecs, mi-mauresques, ses jeux d’escaliers et de demi-niveaux, le Casuarina joue la carte du charme. De l'autre côté de la route, face à une petite plage aménagée, c'est un hôtel-village facile à vivre et convivial, pas trop grand et tout confort. Un jardin tropical immédiatement enveloppant, 93 chambres un peu passées mais confortables et 15 bungalows douillets tout ronds pour 4 à 6 personnes avec d'adorables terrasses privées sous pergolas, voilà le topo estival ! Structures communes tout en courbes ludiques pour les 3 restaurants et les 2 bars aménagés dans de grands rondavels couverts de chaume. En retrait, un adorable spa avec bassin de relaxation bordé de transats, 4 salles de soin, hammam. Nombreuses activités terrestres et nautiques, 2 piscines, 1 jacuzzi, salle de jeux, salle de musculation, miniclub pour les 3-11 ans, location de bicyclettes, boathouse, centre de plongée.
Stayed for two weeks with my girlfriend on vacation.
1st week all inclusive & 2nd week half board.
Food is a buffet style with a nice 3 star variety & tasted nice, chefs were good & attentive with some fresh cooking in front of customers at places, food is as I would expect for a 3 star resort.
Our room was clean & we had 2 single beds pushed together to make a king size which was adequate & did not have a "gap between bed" issue so we slept fine. We did try to find an English speaking movie channel but there was none available only BBC news was in English, as we were here for sun it was OK but the sun goes down at around 6pmish so would be nice if there was a movie channel available in English.
Bar service was mediocre with some staff not very attentive & deciding to finish typing text messages before approaching customers & also chatting amongst themselves when there is a customer waiting. I dont mind staff using mobiles & chatting when there are no customers to serve but when there are customers, I like to be noticed promptly.
Activities were offered daily & I was particularly impressed by Jonathan & Stephanie in the activities team, who made effort to speak with us on several occassions & was very pleasant & great staff members, also Patrick the boat captain was also very nice, accomodating & friendly.
