The Heure Bleue Palais offers spacious rooms and suites with an elegant décor. They come with flat-screen TVs and marble bathrooms, and some also feature Italian showers or balconies. EVERYthing about this property was wonderful from the moment we arrived. Our luggage was scooped up by a friendly staff member, we were served tea and sweets in a beautiful lounge and greeted by the manager with his orange scarf. All is top notch and delightful in all directions. Our room was beautiful and spacious. The inner garden and dining room is beautiful and the food was delicious and creative. Room service was quick and very accommodating. There were many nice amenities and the surrounding area was so much fun to explore day and night. We loved being near the sea and adventuring in the active fishing port. I highly recommend this property. The staff were so professional, helpful and friendly. There is a wonderful grace about this place.
