This place is stunning.

Pointe Aux Biches
4 Lysandra Everhart

The beachfront property is a bit run down. The rooms are nice, but the kitchen needs an update. The refrigerator was not working properly, the cooking equipment was broken, and there was no water boiler. The air conditioning is also broken and very noisy, making it difficult to use at night. The sofas and pillows were dirty, both indoors and outdoors. The customer service was very poor, as the main contact person, Wendy, had difficulty understanding English and did not make an effort to help customers. There is no reception, so all you can do is wait for a reply. The view is great, but the beach is not suitable for swimming. Overall, it is best to stay somewhere else. We will not be returning to Bon Azur Beachfront.

Prison Beach
