Pros:

La atención del personal

Cons:

Los horarios de las barras no son acordes al momento música por la noche, siguen poniendo música, pero la barra está cerrada. Las piscinas también terminan demasiado pronto a mí parecer.
Otra cosa a destacar es que el horario del buffet, estás dentro de horario pero están recogiendo todo y quitando comida antes de que termines.

Erholsame Tage in einer angenehmen Atmosphäre inmitten einer tollen Gegend.
Pros:

Frühstück war gut. Die Lage des Hotels sehr schön.

Cons:

Geschirr, Besteck und Gläser waren schmuddelig. Das Essensangebot gross aber immer wiederholt. Weniger Auswahl und mehr Abwechslung hätten wir für besser gehalten. Das Essen im Restaurant mit Reservation hat uns beide Male nicht geschmeckt.
Unser Zimmer benötigte eine Nachreinigung, eine Bettdecke war auch nicht frisch bezogen!

Du Pour et du Contre..
Pros:

L'emplacement au bord de mer.
La piscine chauffée.
Les boissons à disposition en self ainsi que le snack ouvert à toute heure.
Le nombre important de tables et chaises ou fauteuils à disposition un peu partout pour une assise confortable.
Les repas en terrasse.
Les machines à café disponibles dans le restaurant pour tous les repas.
Les jacuzzi dans l'espace Spa.

Cons:

La chambre avec du grillage au bord du bacon et de gros tuyaux d'évacuation ! On se sent comme en "prison". C'est déprimant...
Certaines parties nécessitent une rénovation : les halls près des ascenseurs, les couloirs d'accès aux chambres, les toilettes dans les espaces communs et la salle de bain de notre chambre.
