Not clean at all. Bad smells throughout the hotel, not hot water, hotel staff trying to get into our room without our permission, parking is too expensive.
Começo pela equipe de funcionários no check in, muito atenciosos e objetivos, quartos limpos e boa cama, somente o travesseiro que deveriam ser de uma qualidade melhor e não de pedacinhos de espuma, o café da manhã também poderia ter pães mais frescos, o restante estava satisfatório.

O café da manhã é servido de forma terceirizada, com apenas 2 funcionários e sem muita variedade
Petit déjeuner exécrable, la salle sombre, la qualité très moyenne et jus de fruit horrible, ils m’ont donné des aigreurs d’estomac

O quarto estava com mal cheiro vindo do banheiro ( cheiro de esgoto). A academia, não é bem uma academia, é um cubículo com uma esteira, um Cross, alguns alteres leves e um transpor, somente isso. No café da manhã, por dois dias o bolo de chocolate estava ruim (começando a azedar) e o de limão. Sem falar no absurdo em cobrar estacionamento no valor de R$ 40,00 por dia.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Pontos positivos:
Ar-condicionado funcionando bem, bom espaço no quarto, opções no frigobar e chuveiro excelente.
Pontos negativos:
A cama de casal era composta por duas camas de solteiro unidas, o que trouxe bastante desconforto. Fomos acomodados em um quarto adaptado para cadeirantes sem necessidade, e o vaso sanitário (mais alto e com abertura frontal) foi desconfortável.
O banheiro apresentava forte cheiro de esgoto; reclamamos e houve limpeza, porém o odor retornou poucos minutos depois.
No café da manhã, havia mais de 10 mesas vazias com pratos sujos sem retirada, além de demora na reposição dos alimentos, aparentemente por equipe insuficiente.
O hotel necessita de manutenção geral. Estive hospedado em 2017 e a experiência foi excelente, mas desta vez foi decepcionante. Apenas um elevador estava funcionando. Os corredores e a área da piscina (principalmente os vidros) precisavam de melhor limpeza. A TV do quarto não é smart.

Bom hotel, quarto espaçoso com bom servico de limpeza e facil acesso a prainha
Ótima localização, café da manhã bem farto e saboroso, staff atencioso, quartos confortáveis, porém, o ar condicionado do quarto que ficamos estava muito barulhento. Assim aconselho a checar o funcionamento do ar quando entrar no quarto e, se necessário, pedir para trocar de quarto, caso faça muito barulho, para garantir uma noite de sono tranquila.
