Pros:

De ligging

Cons:

De badkamer was verouderd en het algemeen onderhoud van de kamer was amateuristisch uitgevoerd (vb. het plafond had nog een verflaag nodig en verschillende kabels waren op ipv in de muren gelegd)

Beau séjour, service à améliorer!
Pros:

L’emplacement , la chambre spacieuse avec une superbe vue . Qualité du petit déjeuner

Cons:

Faire payer le SPA n’est pas normal au prix dépensé pour une semaine de séjour, d’autant que personne ne nous a informé.
Personnel très moyen , mal aimable au petit déjeuner ( une jeune femme blonde est odieuse et devrait changer de métier) Mention spéciale pour Véronique qui était très aimable, heureusement ! Facu au pub également.
