Pros:

I like the resteraunt next door. I liked Chris, the staff.

Cons:

The rooms were awful. One of them had an ozone generator. Those are toxic. The other one had sand bags in front of the door. We asked to be moved, which they did, but charged an additional 63.00 per room. And even those rooms were not worth the money.

Super ervaring
Pros:

De huifkar is fantastisch, groot 2 persoons bed en ruim stapelbed en schone aparte douche/wc ruimte. ‘s nachts koelt t goed af en dan slaapt t lekker. Ligging is ook fantastisch.

Cons:

Het was super warm in de huifkar, jammer dat de airco niet alvast was aangezet. 1 nacht waaide en regende t hard en dan is t toch niet zo comfortabel meer. Ontbijt was wel erg karig, zelfs voor Amerikaanse begrippen. 2e ochtend maar ergens anders ontbijt gehaald.

Je conseille fortement !
Pros:

Je conseil les emplacements sur le jardin, c’est vraiment top. Vous pouvez vous installer devant la chambre et prendre un thé ou un verre devant le jardin. La chambre etait très propre.

Pros:

La camera era molto grande, il villaggio molto carino, pieno di verde e alberi che fanno ombra. Ho apprezzato molto il distributore di acqua fredda e calda nella reception, per riempire le borracce o farsi una tisana. Ottima anche la postazione caffè gratuito a disposizione degli ospiti la mattina.

Cons:

Il personale non è molto cortese.
