Cela aurait pu être un super séjour, mais…
Pros:

La suite était très grande et nous étions très à l’aise à 3. Une salle de bains avec WC et un autre WC séparé, une grande chambre et un salon.
La salle de sport est accessible 24/24 et très bien équipée.
Le petit déjeuner buffet est bon et varié, il y en a pour tous les goûts.
Les restaurants de l’hôtel sont très bons à prix raisonnables.
L’hôtel est très bien situé, proche du golf, face au front de mer, et à 5 minutes à pied du marché de nuit.

Cons:

Nous avons très mal dormi et sommes tombés malade, en cause une climatisation qui tourne fort et qui ne s’arrête pas à la température souhaitée. Du coup soit vous la laissez et vous avez froid et la gorge sèche, soit vous l’arrêtez et vous dormez dans un four.
Le matelas était également très dur.
Autre point, l’hôtel fait tout payer au fur et à mesure. Donc pour commander du room service ou du laundry, il faut d’abord aller payer à l’accueil, pas moyen de mettre le montant sur sa note et tout payer au check out.
Enfin, bizarre, il fait traverser la salle de restaurant pour accéder à la piscine. Celle ci est bien pour se rafraîchir, mais impossible de faire des longueurs à cause d’un mur et d’un câble au milieu. Et pour bronzer, il y avait un seul et unique transat. 😭
