"Superbe hôtel avec déjeuner varié et excellent. Par contre, belle piscine, mais l’eau est très froide (hors saison), car pas de chauffe eau ni toile. Pas de bar."
"I stayed there for just one night. I didn't use a lot of the amenities but the free drink they offer us at the bar when we arrived was not good. And the server was kind of not attentive or kind when she notice we were only getting our free drinks. If the drinks was good and the service we would eat something and drink more."
