Ideally located
Pros:

Nice pool and view. Air con worked well and they organised our transfers

Cons:

Rooms are quite dated but traditional in a sense. Staff are friendly but not many of them so service can be a bit slow around breakfast and lunchtime.

Établissement moyen qui n’a pas évolué depuis la visite de la reine en 1998.
Pros:

Le personnel était très aimable.

Cons:

La piscine était sale, les équipements nécessitent une rénovation. Le petit déjeuner ne respecte aucune chaîne du froid, alors qu’à 8h du matin il fait déjà 30 degrés.
