Pour moi c’est vraiment le meilleur combo possible pour séjourner à Paje sans dépenser énormément
Pros:

Le meilleur rapport qualité prix de Paje !
Nous avons séjourné dans cet hôtel 1 semaine en demi pention, excellent petit dej, pain maison, fruits frais , jus excellents et encore pleins de bonnes choses. Nous avons presque tout tester en 1 semaine et jamais déçu.
Staff super accueillant et arrangeant
Superbe chambre avec clim et tout le nécessaire + sac de plage et serviettes de plage

Emplacement central pour les différentes expéditions en taxi ou tuktuk et pour aller à la plage et environs

Cons:

Inconvénients : pas de piscine, pas de salle de sport. Pour ce prix c’est normal…. Mais c’est n’est pas grave !!!! Car on peut aller dans n’importe quel autre hôtel profiter de la piscine pour quelques euros

Refeições maravilhosas, qualidade dos produtos, desde alimentares como os lençois, toalhas..
A amabilidade do staff no meu aniversário :)

Cons:

a casa de banho tinha um teto que dava para a rua principal, e pode ser um pouco barulhento, mas apenas na casa de banho. quando se fecha a porta de entrada não se ouve nada para o quarto

Pros:

A super lovely hotel with beautiful rooms and a great atmosphere. Everything is very stylish and well taken care of. The food is absolutely fantastic! The staff are incredibly kind and helpful, especially Angel, who made our stay even more special. Everyone was always friendly and ready to help — and Bela, the dog, is also an excellent host who made us feel even more at home. I would definitely come back!”
