Don't believe the photos. The place is run down and in need of a major update.
Pros:

There wasn't much that we liked. The room was clean.

Cons:

The outside of the complex is dirty, needs a good power wash. The steps, walkways and fencing has chipped paint, The flowers in the pool area are fake, plastic, cheap. The "gym" is a postage stamp. The buildings are on multiple levels that make getting to and from your room to your car requires going up or down various stairs, not easy for seniors. The rooms have chipped furniture, ceiling fans from the 80's, and a bed that broke my back.

Pros:

J’ai tout aimé. Personnel agréable. Hôtel très agréable, ainsi que la piscine et le jacuzzi, bien situé à côté de la plage et du centre. Très bon petit déjeuner. Goûter tous les jours pendant 2 heures. Lits faits et serviettes changées tous les jours. Prêt de vélos. J’aurai voulu prolonger mon séjour.

Cons:

Rien. Tout était parfait.
