Pros:

Très beau cadre avec la piscine, le petit déjeuner était varié et bon. Ma chambre spacieuse avec un balcon et un côté salon + petite cuisine. Personnel aimable.

Cons:

Lit pas très confortable + il serait bien de mettre un vrai sèche cheveux. Le sèche cheveux ne sèche absolument rien.

Pros:

Gostei de tudo. Limpeza, espaço, condições, simpatia dos funcionários na recepção.

Cons:

Da interacção com alguns dos funcionários do pequeno-almoço. Havia alguns que falavam português e eram simpáticos, mas os funcionários de origem inglesa, que só falavam inglês, eram algo frios e antipáticos.
