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.

Rooms

The room I stayed in was cramped and had a stuffy smell, making it less than ideal for my getaway. The lift was not working during my stay, which added to the hassle of navigating the resort.

While the staff tried their best to be professional, I found the overall management lacking. It felt like there was a significant gap in ensuring the resort's upkeep.

Location

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.

Dining

I didn't have a memorable dining experience. The food I had could use a serious upgrade to match the setting of the resort.

Facilities

The facilities were lacking attention, which could be attributed to the ongoing maintenance. I hope they get things sorted soon.

Our stay at the resort was enjoyable, featuring beautiful beach access and great amenities. The staff provided excellent service, but some noise from neighboring guests and room organization left something to be desired. Overall, it’s a fantastic family-friendly spot with impressive views and facilities.

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.

Rooms

The newly renovated room was fantastic, featuring a lovely sea view and a well-equipped kitchenette.

United States of America, October 2024

7.4/10

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

8.0

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.

Service

7.0

Room service was efficient when I remembered to put out the 'Make up the room' sign, but there was a slight hiccup when we forgot it one day.

Location

9.0

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

Dining

6.0

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

Facilities

7.0

The amenities include a nice pool area and on-site restaurants, but the noise from entertainment and building work was distracting.
