"Le personnel est aux petits soins., toujours avec le sourire. Le club de plongée est très bien, pro et sérieux. La nourriture au resto est bonne mais pas un choix énorme. Tout est très propre. Par contre les chambres, tout en étant assez grandes manquent un peu de déco. . Si vous voulez que le ménage soit fait dans la chambre, il faut le demander sinon on ne vous le fera pas. L'emplacement est absolument génial et contrebalance la simplicité des lieux, très tranquilles par ailleurs. "
