  : We arrived ahead of checking time and were able to enjoy the pool and the overall amenities of the property including the restaurant. Nice PoolPrivate parking available on spot and was close to our room. Cute and cosy room, well equipped. Nice and helpful staff at restaurant and bar.Well situated, close to good restaurants and top beaches.
  : The bathroom ventilation/aspiration system is very loud and disturbing and can't be turned off. You can't unhear it, the bed is close so it's kind of a big deal to find sleep.Food is average. Not a very warm welcome received from the staff at reception upon arrival which is kind of a vibe/mood killer at the kick off of the stay. At night (could be during the day as well but we can't tell as during the day we were mostly out), the toilets make very weird noise and in the morning of our departure the restroom was clogged so we had to use the bar's restroom. Thankfully this was on our last day.

  : The pool area was quite nice with a fair amount of sunbeds although the entire area tended to get very crowded so it was a bit of a lottery whether you actually got to relax around the pool or had to sit further away in one of the many pergola covered couch areas.
  : Breakfast was a pretty poor buffet. We had wasps helping themselves to the fruit & meats that were laid out without any covering. There was a choice of either dried-out scrambled eggs under a cloche or you could attempt to boil your own although the water wasn't quite hot enough so we gave up trying to cook our eggs after several failed attempts. The only coffee available at breakfast was a terrible machine dispensed Americano even though there was a bar that served good coffee straight after they stopped serving breakfast. The rooms were quite nice but very tired looking. They were arranged in little clusters like one large cottage sub-divided into several chalets. Unfortunately they still shared walls so you could hear everyone flushing their toilets in the adjoining rooms throughout the night (once one adjoining group got up it would set off the guests in the next room in a little comedy rotation until everyone was awake). The hotel was also situated in a slightly isolated spot just too far to walk anywhere comfortably; just too far to walk to the beach, shops or any other restaurants. The staff were all very friendly but - possibly as a result of Covid - they were always understaffed.

  : the space of the residence. The staff.
  : The music at the bar and the restaurant. The water overflow in the shower.

  : The accommodation is nice and has the perfect size. Common areas are convenient.
  : The water goes everywhere in the bathroom when you take a shower.

Disappointing
Traveller Type:
  : Breakfast was just OK, nothing really special, and expensive. Very young people attending were very unpleasant, really pressing to finish "on time" with very rude manners. We did not repeat breakfast a 2nd morning.
  : Kalima had been recommended to me (experience of quite a few years ago) but in 2021 was very disappointing, even more including the price factor. It was requested a room with better accessibility including accesible bathroom if available (close to hotel facilities, etc..) one of the persons has an injury. We received a quick kind response confirming availability, A bungalow with adapted bathroom was certainly given. (apparently there were only 2) BUT: The bungalow was placed in the farthest place, in the garden, needing to walk long distance to restaurant, pool, etc...and requiring to park the car also really far from common premisses. That location did not seem to consider accessibility requirements but just the opposite, it looked like it was put to comply with regulations but if was of interest "0" for the Hotel. The room itself gave the impression to have been built as an annex between bungalows, old, uncomfortable, small room like a corridor with 2 very small low beds in 2 extremes, and with air condition in a place which froze a bed and did not reach the other. Yes, Bathroom had been adapted ( in another century) as for a handicapped person, but was old, shabby, uncomfortable and easy to flood with water. That unpleasant situation together with rude attitude from "pretty young women" at breakfast, mistreating clients was disgusting. Hotel is far from Porto Vecchio in a lonely road with poor light at night, if you need to return late. All the efforts had been put around the pool and bar, and to please families with children. This is it. If there are good bungalows, congratulations. We did not have that experience, at all.
