Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Même si nous étions dans de second bâtiment , la chambre était sale, sous les toits sans aucun équipement. Pour accéder à la piscine il faut payer les 22€ par personne pour l accès à la thalasso, cette dernière ne faisait vraiment pas envie, tâches de rouille sur les jacuzzis , sombre et peu fréquenté. Le personnel était agréable mais avait peur de se faire sanctionner a chaque demande. Le petit déjeuner était sympathique, mais attention aux mouettes à l extérieur.

Correct, mais pas au niveau de la promesse

Belle chambre, belle douche, bon lit. Au dessus d'un balcon avec un client fumeur, dommage... Bâtiment a l'écart de l'hôtel, accès a la piscine et au spa un peu compliqué du coup + pas de vue mer. Attention, payer pour place parking ne garanti pas qu'il y aura de la place pour se garer, mais en parler a l'accueil a permis de résoudre le problème.

Nous avons été très surpris de devoir loger dans un hôtel annexe, qui est en fait un immeuble en face de l'hôtel et de n'avoir aucun service dans cette immeuble, même pas une bouteille d'eau à disposition. Pour prendre le petit déjeuner il faut sortir de l'immeuble et traverser la route pour rejoindre l'hôtel !!! Si nous avions été prévenu nous n'aurions pas réservé à cet endroit, car Los de la réservation vous nous parlez de l'hôtel Valdys & Spa Hotel et de rien d'autre. Bien cordialement , Antoine ARGENTIERI

L'hôtel vient d'être refait donc il est parfaitement propre et tout neuf. Nous avons eu un léger contre-temps en rentrant de dîner car nous n'avions plus d'électricité dans notre chambre mais la réception a été très réactive et nous a tout de suite trouver une autre chambre. Nous aurions aimé un petit geste commercial suite à ce désagrément mais ce n'était pas très grave. Au delà de ce petit problème, les chambres sont grandes et très propres. Nous n'avions pas de grandes serviettes dans notre salle de bain, juste des petites. La literie est convenable. Il manque juste une bouteille d'eau et de quoi faire un thé ou café mais cela va peut être venir avec le reclassement en 3 étoiles. Le personnel est très accueillant et aimable. Le petit déjeuner buffet est très complet et la vue sur la mer est imprenable ! Le rapport qualité prix est donc très bon et je recommande cet hôtel.
