I had a wonderful experience at Bon Sejour, where we celebrated a family event with 250 guests. The service was outstanding, and the venue, especially the lawn, was perfect for an outdoor buffet. While the hotel is conveniently located, it's a bit far from the beach, which might be a drawback for some travelers. Overall, it was a memorable celebration, and I would definitely return for future family events.

The hotel has stunning visuals and is conveniently located near the bus terminus, making it easy to explore. The Bon Sejour suite offers a fantastic view and ample space for a family. However, the service quality is inconsistent and the food lacks impressive taste. Frequent power cuts and unreliable Wi-Fi add to the drawbacks, making the overall experience somewhat disappointing considering the price.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, particularly the Bon Sejour suite, were impressive and spacious, making it suitable for families. However, the service was a let-down, marked by inexperienced staff and sluggish response times. The location was convenient for getting around but was overshadowed by issues like frequent power cuts and Wi-Fi troubles. Overall, it's a decent option if you plan to be out most of the day and just need a place to sleep.
