General Comments
Just spent one month at Grand Mirage in June/July 2005. Changed rooms a couple of times, looked at several. No such thing as a quiet one!!Korean/Japanese tour groups arrive and go daily and are very very noisy. All room doors open and yelling to each other in the corridoors outside your room at all hours. Finally found a quiet room, after one week ruined by building works going on under us. We changed again only to suffer extremely loud wailing/chanting being played on a tape from next door to the hotel all day and through the night till at least 1 am. Every day. you couldnt swim on the beach as it was only for jet skis,paragliding etc. Vendors constantly hassle you. Breakfast at hotel very good, plenty of choice. Not much outside the hotel, few restaurants, no bars.
