Bienvenue dans le centre historique mais avec piscine
Pros:

L'emplacement est fabuleux, la piscine sur le toit fait vraiment du bien.
Le personnel se plie en 4 et devance parfois vos besoins.
La chambre très confortable, spacieuse et propre.

Cons:

Quand le nouvel aéroport sera construit, plus loin dans l'île qu'actuellement, l'emplacement sera parfait. En attendant, des avions passent très régulièrement juste au-dessus de l'hôtel, avec le bruit associé et certainement la pollution.
( La salle de sport pourrait être un chouia plus développée mais elle a le mérite d'exister)

Retour de nos vacances avons bien apprécier la terrasse sur les toits et notre repas pris au même endroit.
Pros:

L’Etablissement par lui même son histoire
Près de tout .

Cons:

Nous trouvons bizarre qu’à notre arrivée personne nous accueille .
Bagage à la main sous la chaleur après un bon voyage nous avons dû nous dirigé nous même jusqu’à l’accueil .
Arrivée à l’accueil rien à dire le personnel très sympathique.
Arrivée dans la chambre je me suis dirigée vers cette petite coupe ou j’ai soulevé le couvercle et la surprise
Un biscuit déjà croqué… excusez mais dans un Établissement comme le vôtre , je trouve ça pas très classe .
Sinon rien à dire .
Si une chose : Nous reviendrons .
À bientôt.
