Résumé des avis

Guests particularly appreciate the friendliness, smiles, and attentiveness of the always helpful staff. The overall cleanliness of the hotel and its facilities is also highly praised. Furthermore, the beautiful, large beach is well-maintained, always offering available sun loungers, and the food is considered good and varied, especially at the buffet. However, it is sometimes mentioned that the rooms are dated and in need of renovation, with occasional complaints regarding dampness or soundproofing.

Belle vacation
Belle vacan

A small hotel perfect for people with reduced mobility, not too many steps. The place is very well maintained and all the staff are kind and smiling. The only downside is that the rooms, although clean and well-maintained, could use some updating, as they say!

Petite hôtel parfaite pour personne à mobilité réduite, pas trop de marchement. L’endroit est très bien entretenu et tout le personnel est gentil et souriant.
Le seul point négatif est que les chambres malgré qu’ils soit propre et bien entretenus, ils aurais besoins d’être rénovés au goût du jour, comme on dit d’amour !
