Un séjour professionnel des plus agréable

Séjour professionnel durant 11jours , début de journée avec un petit dej varié, les équipes sont adorables, les buffets du soir variés et très bons. Le restaurant de la piscine fait d’excellents cocktails et des formules tapas sympas L’hôtel est très bien situé , calme, bord de lagon pour baignade. Le wifi fonctionne très bien c’était très important pour moi.les chambres sont spacieuses et propres. J’y retournerai sans aucunes hésitations.

Très mauvais rapport qualité/prix

Plus que moyen, peu d’amabilité de la part du personnel, aucun intérêt pour la satisfaction client, priorité donnée à la gestion des événements, chambre supérieure bruyante identique à la chambre classique, wifi inexistant, un service de chambre très aléatoire, service du bar déplorable, équipements vétustes. Cet établissement semble se reposer sur son emplacement formidable en bord de plage de l’hermitage, mais ne pas faire preuve de beaucoup de remise en question : une deuxième et une dernière.
