Teleurstellend uitzicht
Pros:

Op zich een leuk zwembadje, schone kamers en ruime kamers. Uitgebreid ontbijtbuffet.

Cons:

We hadden uitzicht op een bouwput, waar mensen aan het werk waren. Het is zo dicht gebouwd op het hotel dat ik er een claustrofobisch gevoel van kreeg. Bekijk vooral ook mijn foto's, dan zie je dat ik niet overdrijf. Volgens Booking zouden we zeezicht of zicht op het zwembad hebben. Dit bleek een bouwput en een muur vol met airconditioners. Na te hebben geklaagd, kregen we in totaal 20 euro korting (voor 4 personen, 2 nachten). Het personeel begreep onze klacht en ze waren vriendelijk, maar als we dit vooraf hadden geweten, hadden we een ander hotel gekozen. Laat je ook niet misleiden door de algemene foto's op booking: het bovenste zwembad is een privé-zwembad en alleen voor de klanten op de bovenste verdieping, die een appartement huren. De meeste hotelgasten kunnen dit zwembad dus niet gebruiken.

Vue magnifique mais beaucoup de dénivelé
Pros:

Vue magnifique, chambre très jolie, hôtel moderne et accueillant

Cons:

Situation géographique pas terrible, l hôtel se situe tout en haut d’une petite vallée, ça monte fort et sur des pavés, le soir il faut passer devant des quartiers où on se sent pas très safe.
Piscine un peu trouble
