Wir kommen wieder! Es war sehr gut. Man muss nur wissen, wie man das Hotel erreichen kann. Bushaltestellen sind nicht direkt am Hotel. Nur eine ist an einer Hauptstraße. Es empfiehlt sich diese zu nehmen (Falkun). Alle anderen wie Universität oder Miller sind etwas weiter weg. Dafür kann aber das Hotel nichts. Also alles top!

Notre séjour s'est très bien passé, l'hôtel était très beau, le petit déjeuner au top et les piscines et le SPA super. La chambre avec balcon calme et la literie très confortable, le ménage est fait tous les jours. Possibilité de faire du tennis sur les terrains à proximité gratuitement. L'emplacement est idéal pour faire le tour de l'île en visite. Le parking est gratuit et facile. Juste 2 bémols, le personnel d'accueil de l'hôtel n'est pas très avenant, notre Anglais n'étant pas parfait, on a senti l'agacement lors de nos demandes diverses. 2ème bémol, la pizzeria au bord de la piscine, la nourriture n'est pas bonne et chère pour ce que c'est (une pizza tomate fromage avec tellement peu de tomate que c'était sec et un hamburger avec seulement du poulet pané et du chou sans sauce...).
