"Sur une plage exceptionnelle, avec un paysage qui change selon les marées. Parfaitement calme. Staff impeccable et adorable, aux petits soins. Tout compris, bons repas et très bon petit déjeuner. Juste un petit bémol compte tenu du prix, quelques améliorations sont à prevoir (pas de wifi, decks abimés, piscine un peu douteuse). Mais à part ça c’est quand même un endroit de rêve! "

"Pour commencer, l’établissement n’avait pas de confirmation d’expedia (hotels.com)… C’est un avis personnel, mais je ne me suis pas senti bien dans cet hôtel. Il conviendra probablement mieux à d’autres! Pour: C’est parfaitement propre, la literie est bonne et les chambres sont plutot grandes. Le staff est sympathique. Contre: L’ambiance générale est un peu triste. Le bâtiment est froid, sans âme… une ambiance d’hotel en périphérie de grande ville. L’hôtel était désert. Le petit déjeuner...
