Reviewed Mar 22, 2026Hôtel bien situé, facile à trouver car en bord de route. Très jolie promenade vers la mer (coucher de soleil au top!). Les propriétaires sont très accueillants, donnent des jeux et coloriages aux enfants. Nous avions deux chambres côte à cote, ce qui était appréciable en famille. Literie confortable, chambres joliment décorées et très propres.
La salle de bain mériterait un rafraîchissement (pommeau de douche fixé un peu trop bas, pas très pratique). L’insonorisation est également à revoir (nous entendions un peu trop les deux voisines bavardes!).
