Muito a melhorar

Foi razoável, bem confuso no check in, pois nao tinham todas as informações do site e mesmo informando todos os detalhes da acomodação ainda me cobraram pelo menos 2x. No horário do cafe meu nome não consta na relação fazendo com que me dirigisse novamente a recepção para solicitar a liberação. Nesse momento como tinha um transfer e o horário do café é 7:20 am acabou que nao consegui tomar o café. Outro encomodo foi ter pintura em toda a instalação no meio da alta temporada. Enfim muitos detalhes ruins.

Beau, bon service mais très bruyant.

Un bon service et de bon repas. L’endroit est très beau. Le problème est qu’il y a de la musique tellement forte et tardive qu’il est impossible de dormir.

Mitigé

Les dortoirs sont plutôt spacieux, à peu près propre et literie correct. Le personnel de l'accueil nest pas tres aimable si vous avez du mal à vous faire comprendre. La terrasse sur la mer avec balançoires est un vrai plus, le bar est agréable ainsi que son personnel et bonne ambiance pour les doirees et cours de danse. La cuisine à l'étage est pratique .
