I had a wonderful stay at La Montagne, which I've visited multiple times over the years. The resort boasts clean, uncluttered beaches and is conveniently located near the mall. The units offer both privacy and entertainment options for families, making it an excellent choice for a holiday. However, I was slightly disappointed with the dining experience, particularly the pizza from the on-site restaurant.

My experience at La Montagne was a mixed bag. While the resort has potential with its beautiful surroundings and access to a stunning beach, my stay was marred by cleanliness issues and ongoing maintenance work that disrupted the experience. I was particularly disappointed with the room I was given, which felt cramped and gave off a musty smell. However, the resort's natural scenery is truly lovely, and some aspects like the staff's effort to maintain professionalism stood out as positives.

The location is great with easy access to the beach, but the ongoing maintenance work and the public walkway right outside my room definitely affected my sense of privacy.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the newly renovated room I got had a wonderful sea view and was beautifully appointed, I did face some pressure from staff to buy a membership during my stay. The location was perfect, being close to lots of restaurants and the beach, which I appreciated. However, the prices at the bar were quite high for what they offered, and I felt it could have been better overall.

This resort offers newly refurbished units with beautiful ocean views and convenient amenities, but noise from entertainment can be overwhelming, especially during peak times. While the rooms are modern and clean, the dining options could use improvement in terms of value for money. Overall, it's a nice place to relax if you avoid busy holiday periods.
Rooms

My unit was newly refurbished, clean, and had an amazing ocean view. However, it was a bit cold and damp in the mornings due to condensation on the walls.

The resort is ideally located close to shops and has easy beach access, though the public paths reduce privacy on the patios.

Dining could be better; while the food was satisfactory, it didn't live up to expectations and felt overpriced for what was offered.
