Excellent séjour
Pros:

Propreté, organisation, professionalisme

Cons:

Un petit sujet concernant le manque de serviettes / robes de douches qui étaient insuffisants (pour une seule personne). Mais on nous a ramené d’autres quand on a demandé. Cependant, le lendemain après le ménage, les serviettes remplacées étaient insuffisantes une nouvelle fois.
Cela reste, un détail pas très important vu l’expérience globale réussie.
