Staff repeatedly praised as friendly, professional and welcoming (reception, restaurant, housekeeping, spa staff); one review reported very rude staff, so overall sentiment is positive but with isolated negative experience.
Location

Très bel établissement
Pros:

Bel établissement dont nous n'avons pas profité entièrement, notamment sur le côté spa ! Nous avons été surclassé dans une chambre avec terrasse.
Literie confortable et hôtel silencieux appréciable !

Bien malgré tout
Pros:

L’emplacement, l’hôtel est jolie, le spa, la piscine.

Cons:

On m’a appelé à 14h pour savoir si je venais alors que j’étais censé arriver à 16h et là personne m’a appelé à 3 reprises car je ne répondais pas et quand je lui ai fais la réflexion elle ne s’est même pas excusé et m’a répondu hautainement.
La chambre petite, des odeurs d’égouts dans la chambre, les essuies de bain n’ont pas été changé, tache d’humidité dans la salle de bain, la terrasse trop de vis à vis et pas nettoyer chaise sale et on trouve le rapport qualité prix trop élevé.
