Pros · LUX* Belle Mare
- Excellent beachfront location on Belle Mare.
- Strong recurring guest sentiment for staff warmth, service and food.

- Very high pricing makes value sensitive to room category and dining choices.
- A small number of guest reviews mention wear in some bungalows, so renovated-room confirmation is worthwhile.

- Dining costs can be high without the right package.
