Location, staff, comfort level

Cons:

Could hear seagulls all the time which wasn’t really an issue but something to consider if that would bother you.

Endroit parfait pour faire la fête !
Pros:

L'emplacement.

Cons:

Nous avons hérité d'une chambre très bruyante. En effet, dès 4h00 du matin, le personnel doit nettoyé et remettre en ordre une partie du second étage du Pub qui servira pour les petits déjeuners.
Dès lors, si vous êtes rentré sobre vous ne dormez plus.
