Pros:

The warm welcome, the decor, the room, the spa, the breakfast. Just amazing.

Cons:

The one thing I found odd is that I didn’t make a reservation for the restaurant and it was a bit difficult to be allowed to eat, they remained friendly but apparently the chef doesn’t like walk-ins. The restaurant was mostly empty and I was by myself it took the waiter a while to come back with chefs permission for a table. Food was great and worth the hassle;-)

Mon fils et moi avons adoré. Très bel endroit, nous reviendrons avec plaisir. Bravo !
Pros:

Mon fils et moi avons été ravis de notre expérience. La décoration est magnifique, le personnel attentionné et la cuisine excellente. C’est avec grand plaisir que nous reviendrons dans ce bel établissement. Félicitations à toute l’équipe !

Cons:

Un point d’amélioration concerne les abords de la piscine : une grosse flaque d’eau était présente entre les transats. Hormis ce détail, tout était satisfaisant.
