Upea nököala.
Pros:

Huoneiston sivuttainen merinäköala oli aivan upea ja näkymä laaja – olin enemmän kuin tyytyväinen!

Aamiainen oli erittäin hyvä.
Kaupat sekä ravintolat kävelyetäisyydellä. A-talon yläkerroksesta pääsi suoraan yläkadulle mikä suuri helpotus mäkisessä maastossa. Bussit suoraan ovelta ja Bolt-kuljetukset olivat hyvin saatavilla.

Palvelu oli huomaavaista: saapuessa jäätelöt, lähtiessä kuivattuja hedelmiä ja syntymäpäiväni kunniaksi huoneistoon toimitettu kylmä kuohuviini onnitteluineen. Myös hedelmiä odotti valmiina huoneistossa.

Uima-allas alue viihtyisä ja näkymät kauniit, vesi ihanan lämmintä ainakin vielä lokakuun alussa.

Kiitos ihanasta majoituksesta ja erityisen lämpimästä huomioimisesta!

Cons:

Huone kaipaisi päivitystä ja sänky oli kova, mutta saimme pyynnöstä lisäpehmusteet – kiitos siitä!

Kylpylä sijaitsee eri kerroksessa kuin ulkoallas, hieman syrjässä hissillä toiseen kerrokseen. Kylpylän kellarikerroksen tilat eivät olleet erityisen viihtyisät, ja ei siellä ketään näkynytkään. saunat sai päälle vain pyydettäessä, eivätkä ne olle valmiiksi lämpiminä.

Très bon séjour.
Pros:

Les chambres sont très grandes, la literie est confortable. Le petit buffet du petit déjeuner est copieux et varié.

Cons:

Pour le dîner au restaurant, il faut payer des la commande et on ne peut pas mettre la note sur le compte de la chambre. Tout devient compliqué lorsque l on est plusieurs et que les consommations sont variées...

Menomale che ci sono stata poco.
Pros:

Il garage al coperto privato

Cons:

Stanze poco curate, per il prezzo pagato ci si aspetta di piú, consiglierei di ri modernizzare le stanze.
Impensabile che uno debba cambiare 2 ascensori per scendere al garage, salire nella stanza o addirittura per fare colazione cambiare edificio. PESSIMO.
Colazione inclusa nel prezzo e poi ti fanno pagare per un cappuccino.
Insetti nel bagno, principalmente nel piatto doccia.
Personale distaccato e freddo.
