Served my purpose and was realistically priced
Pros:

Great room with side sea view with double windows. Comfortable bed . Good bathroom, quiet location.

Cons:

The April sunshine came through the windows and the room became pretty hot which was OK but I do wonder what it would be like as we near summer. There was a fan provided so it is a known occurrence.

Pros:

L'emplacement est très chouette, la décoration de l'hôtel sympa.

Cons:

Nous avions un appartement, situé en dessous de la salle du petit déjeuner... bruyant le matin (très tôt)...
Un peu galère pour trouver une place dans la zone H.

Lovely find.
Pros:

What a find! Spacious and comfortable room with great additional touches to make you feel welcome. The restaurant on site served delicious food (dinner was fab!) and continental breakfast has a great selection. The staff are really lovely and helpful. It's a little further from the marina, but we really enjoyed the walk through the beautiful zig zag path, so we didn't mind that. All in all, a great stay and will be visiting again. Thank you.

Cons:

No negatives for us.
