Super beaux séjour, nous reviendrons.
Pros:

Super petit dejeuner. La personne à l'entrée est exeptionnelle. Une jeune femme souriante, acceuillante. Vous avez trouvé une belle solution pour la piscine malgré le fait que la votre ne fonctionnait pas. L'hotel est jolie et plutot propre.

Cons:

La piscine ne fonctionnait pas. Les lots sont vraiment durs et nous sention le métal dans notre dos lorsqu'on utiilise le lit d'appoint. Impossible de dormir la dessis.
