Cher pour ce que c’est
Pros:

Emplacement

Cons:

Salle de bain très petite et sale. Énormément de lumière qui entre dans la chambre par la porte d’entrée et grosse lumière verte toute la nuit active. De plus, très mauvaise insonorisation, on entend les gens parler et même lorsque l’on est dans les couloirs, on entend les gens dans leur chambre

Great location and excellent staff, they need to invest some money towards kids so families can also make the most of th
Pros:

Staff, everyone who is working at the hotel are excellent! Very well spoken, friendly and knowledgeable. Food is really good, we eat breakfast and dinner at the hotel.

Cons:

Bed is not comfortable at all, slept there for two nights and both morning woke up with bad back. Hotel is not very kids friendly, nothing to do with kids and the outdoor pool was not operational so that also made it difficult for us. They do have indoor pool which is nice but kids are not allowed since that is part of adults spa.
