Ne surtout pas passer par l’entree du restaurant ( entrée la plus visible car nous n’en avions pas vu, comme un tas d’autres personnes à priori ) sinon on vous ramène du du côté hôtel hélico presto.Chambre très correcte.Plafond un peu bas, du coup avec la chaleur et dans la clim, cela accentue les temperature.Litrerie ok.Nous sommes resté très peu de temps sur place et nous aurions aimé testé le restaurant.
