United KingdomWe stayed in Sankara for our honeymoon and everything was perfect. The staff was very thoughtful and kind during our entire stay (small cushion for my back, little gift at the end). They picked us up at Anbo and they dropped us off at the airport. The room was clean and spacious. The food was excellent (the pain au chocolat was delicious). We highly recommand this hotel.
FranceIt was the most amazingly luxurious, beautiful, expensive hotel we’ve ever been to. The service was ridiculous (you could have a buggy ride to your room from reception, someone ran the bath for you) and the food was unbelievably delicious and presented beautifully.
United KingdomAmazing place, amazing location, but most importantly amazing staff. It is expensive, but you could not ask for more.
