Reposant
Pros:

Propreté service et spa

Cons:

J’ai trouvé le rapport qualité prix un peu haut certes une belle vue mets un lit annoncé King size alors qu’il y avait deux petits matelas collé en terme de chambre assez basique mais très suffisant

Un séjour très appréciable.
Pros:

La localisation face à l’océan, l’accès au SPA, la location de vélo, le personnel : tout était très appréciable. À noter un excellent petit déjeuner, bien que manquant de variété au fil des jours, il reste néanmoins copieux et de qualité.

Cons:

L’insonorisation des chambres n’est pas optimale, surtout si on a quelqu’un au dessus. Par ailleurs, les extérieurs n’étaient pas très bien entretenus.

Very relaxing stay with lovely food.
Pros:

I thought the restaurant food and staff responsible were superb. Especially the evening staff who were catering for a very large number. I think most people staying at the hotel were eating in the restaurant, yet the service was impeccable and the food absolutely delicious. Well done all!

Cons:

The entrance area (first impression) seemed a little tired, but it was the end of a busy season.
