Pros:

Every staff member we encountered was exceptional. Out of our three week vacation, this was the best place we stayed. We loved the chocolate theme of the hotel and the chocolate factory was educational. Highly recommended place to stay from the both of us. Many thanks to all the staff!

Pros:

Bon hôtel, qui exploite à fond son concept autour du chocolat. Je n'ai malheureusement pas été fan des produits connexes : parfum d'ambiance et gels douche, que j'ai trouvés écœurants.
Déco très sympa (Willy Wonka pour nous : vive la couleur !)
Accueil pro et efficace
Excellent petit déjeuner

Cons:

Le matelas n'est pas à la hauteur : on sent trop les mouvements de son partenaire
Pas un vrai balcon
L'accueil manque un peu de chaleur
