Super hôtel pour un voyage en famille
Pros:

Gentillesse du personnel , beauté de l’hôtel et confort des chambres ! La piscine est top ( penser au bonnet et lunettes de piscine ;-)
Jacuzzi intérieur + extérieur top pour les adultes ainsi que sauna et hammam ! Nous n’avons pas essayé la salle de sport mais nous avons pu la voir ! ( très grande ) !!
Merci au personnel d’accueil , car à l’occasion de l’anniversaire de notre fils de 5 ans ,ils ont préparés une petite carte avec des chocolats pour lui et son frère ! Ils étaient très touchés!
Le petit restaurant de l’hotel est très bien aussi!! Nous avons mangés les deux soirs après nos journées de visites ! Bon rapport qualité/prix et service très rapide !
Petit déjeuner copieux et délicieux !! ( mention spéciale pour la machine à pancakes )
