"propre mais très désuet. Manque d'entretien à tous les niveaux, nous n'avons pas utilisez la piscine(pas chauffée) et les spas mais aucune serviette à disposition pour ceux-ci. Emplacement quand même isolée et tranquille. Le personnel est très gentil. Le buffet bon mais pas wow, pas beaucoup de choix. Les quantités ne sont pas très grande non plus. Wifi disponible et de bonne qualité"
"Unfortunately I would say our experience wasn’t great. The balcony door was broken and when asked to have our room switched she told us not to worry it’s safe. Being that we were on a girls trip. We didn’t feel safe at all and the balcony was on the first floor. So people can easily just walk right it. That ruined the trip it self. The space it self was clean and huge. Very roomie but that situation didn’t allow us to sleep and we had put chairs and table by the door not that would have much but...
"The rooms do not have air conditioning, which only bothered me at night, and having the window open was very loud
The location was amazing, the staff were incredibly helpful and the property was beautiful
I’ll definitely stay here again."
