Beau, bon service mais très bruyant.
Un bon service et de bon repas. L’endroit est très beau. Le problème est qu’il y a de la musique tellement forte et tardive qu’il est impossible de dormir.

Les dortoirs sont plutôt spacieux, à peu près propre et literie correct. Le personnel de l'accueil nest pas tres aimable si vous avez du mal à vous faire comprendre. La terrasse sur la mer avec balançoires est un vrai plus, le bar est agréable ainsi que son personnel et bonne ambiance pour les doirees et cours de danse. La cuisine à l'étage est pratique .
