Pros:

Bel emplacement
Villa spacieuse

Cons:

Attention nous avons réservé une villa avec vue sur l’océan et le réceptionniste a essayé de nous affecter une chambre avec un bâtiment à bateau en guise de vue
Le personnel n’est pas à la hauteur à chaque demande vous attendrez
Le soir il y a de la musique très forte pendant le repas
Pas beaucoup de chose à faire ne pas rester trop longtemps

Pros:

ruhig, schöne sicht aufs meer, viel privacy. personal im service sehr freundlich und bemüht, an der réception kalt und desinteressiert.

Cons:

preis-leistng verhältnis, alles ist runtergekommen, kaputte schubladen, leiter ins schwimmbad, verfranste badetücher, badeschuhe waren ganz kaputt. essen gut aber buffet nicht schön dekoriert. wunderschöne location für sonnenuntergang schliesst um 18.00! nur wenige ausflüge möglich, aktivitäten praktisch keine. wir waren sehr sehr enttäuscht.
