Zimmer hat seinen Zweck erfüllt.
Pros:

Hotel liegt perfekt an der Promenade.
Leider war unser Familienzimmer genau über einer Bar in der Gasse, entsprechend war in der Nacht der Lärm.

Cons:

Preis-Leistung beim Frühstück stimmt für uns nicht.

Pros:

L’emplacement de l’hôtel juste en face du lac.
L’amabilité du personnel
Le confort de la literie

Cons:

Pas de clim dans les chambres hormis celle face au lac, il fait très chaud dans les chambres malgré le ventilateur

La piscine est en dehors de l’hôtel environ 7 min à pied. Cela n’est pas stipulé malheureusement

We love the place, the people and the view, but it was far to expensive for what it was.
Pros:

It’s a beautiful hotel, very friendly personnel. The view is great.
We liked it very much that the hotel was different then the usual hotels.
Very classy.

Cons:

Some things were old and not very well maintained..
The shower in the bathtub is fine, but it wasn’t easy to shower as the hose hanging, to stand underneath it.

was average
Pros:

Outside our accomodation we had a balcony facing the garden and palm trees.

Cons:

Honesty and placing us in the rooms and the hotel building where the booking was made. We didnt stay at the hotel. Placed in another building behind the hotel. No access to the pool and the lobby. Our room we had single beds which were the size of childrens 13 year old single beds. Would have great if we were advised that we on a separate building outside of the hotel building.
