Heerlijk verblijf
Pros:

Zeer vriendelijk ontvangen door het personeel. Ze dachten goed mee over het boeken van activiteiten en restaurants. De kamer was ruim en schoon met een comfortabel bed. Ook de jacuzzi op het dakterras was heerlijk. Het ontbijt was goed.

Pros:

J'ai beaucoup aimé toute l'équipe de cet hôtel. Très serviable, aimable . Tout était fluide. De très bons professionnels et de bonnes personnes.

Cons:

Le quartier autour peu sembler un peu pesant, pas toujours bien fréquenté à l'extérieur. Mais sans incidence sur la tranquillité de l'hôtel.
