Très belle hôtel mais dès notre arrivée le staff et clients nous regardaient de haut. Service hautain tout le longs de notre séjour. De plus, nous avons commandé le room service le soir, salade Caesar et un curry à l’agneau et j’ai ensuite été malade pendant 5 jours, vomissements et diarrhée. Je n’avais rien mangé d’autre ce jour là et la réaction a suivi quelques heures après le repas. Sinon l’endroit est très beau et propre considérant l’emplacement.
