Le personnel est au petit soin et leur devise est : « Tout est possible » et c’est bien le cas.
La piscine chauffée et les transats à disposition sont très appréciés.
Je mets 4 étoiles à la chambre car très spacieuse pour la suite familiale à 129€ et elle est faite tous les jours mais il manquerait quelques équipements :
-plateau cafetière / bouilloire
-frigo (l’été appréciable pour les boissons fraiches, et/ou lait biberon de bébé)
-mise à disposition d’eau en bouteille
Vous avez un restaurant sur place ombragé dont la spécialité est les cuisses de grenouilles excellentes en effet.
En période estivale il faut être patient car le service est un peu long.
Rapport qualité prix : très bon !
Je recommande
