10/10 Exceptional

Tout était parfait! Le service, la qualité des prestations, l’accueil et la gentillesse du personnel. La cuisine était particulièrement bonne, riche et variée. Un très large choix au buffet et surtout qualitatif. Une vue imprenable sur une belle plage avec de belles piscines et beaucoup d’espaces pour les bars et autres endroits detente. La salle de sport est bien aussi.
