Cons:

No check-in é solicitado a uma criança de 10 anos que assine um papel a autorizar que fotocopiem o cartão de cidadão, um quarto duplo com apenas uma toalha de rosto e quando solicitado na recepção, apesar da simpatia da recepcionista que estava neste momento e me ter dito que iria pedir e para eu voltar depois à recepção para levantar, era normal neste tipo de quarto apesar de estarem hospedados 2 pessoas apenas um toalha de rosto. Quanto ao quarto, se gosta de dormir com pouca claridade, não aconselho, em nenhum momento da noite isso é possivel, apesar de tudo fechado é possível andar no quarto sem ligar a luz, tal é a claridade que entra pela janela. Piscina se estivesse em bom estado seria agradável, mas o fundo está todo degradado.

Cons:

A lot of renevations necessary or ongoing e.g. swimming pool needs one and restaurant was ongoing.
Rating would probably be higher if those were finished.

Pros:

La qualité du petit déjeuner avec des patisseries maisons renouvelées tous les jours , des fruits frais servi dans une belle salle où sur une belle terrasse vue mer et bananeraies.
L’accueil du personnel qui parle français , très professionnel et le parking.
Le mini frigo dans la chambre.

Cons:

Les moquettes dans la chambre élimées jusqu’à la corde et gondolantes , le mobilier vétuste , les vernis des portes écaillées, le carrelage de la salle de bain fissurée , ,le papier peint d’un autre âge avec des trâces d’humidité sur les murs et les plafonds.
Le mobilier de la terrase, plus que branlant.
Les murs extérieurs fissurés et couverts de salpêtre.
Le coffre fort à la location.
Pas de bouteille d’eau de bienvenue.( ça ce serait très sympa)
Dans le couloir qui mène la chambre, un mur en pavé de verre cassé et partiellement masqué par un paravent.

Très bien malgré une infrastructure un peu vieillissante.
Pros:

Chambre spacieuse, petit déjeuner avec beaucoup de choix. Personnel très aimable.

Cons:

Rideaux pas très occultants. Hôtel qui aurait besoin de rénovation mais qui reste confortable d’un point de vue literie. Salle de bain avec douche un peu vieillotte mais efficace pour la pression. Piscine défraîchie avec des manques de mosaïques mais qui reste agréable pour se rafraîchir.
