Gefallen hat uns die Sauberkeit und Personal Freundlichkeit. Nicht gefallen: Kinderfreundlichkeit null ( keine Kinder Spielmöglichkeit ) keine Kinderkanal, Organisation des Personals könnte verbessern werden. zB Shuttlebus Vorort nicht gesehen, Check- out war kompliziert ( keine gute Absprache zwischen den Personalien ). Keine Liegestühle am Strand

Excellent hotel mais ...

J’ai l’habitude de séjourner à cet hôtel lors de mes voyages au Cameroun, d'habitude parfait! Mais cette fois ci, je n’ai malheureusement pas pu prendre mon vol et donc y séjourner vu que je n’avais pas le bon test Covid. J’ai donc du reporter mon voyage d’une semaine mais... ils n’ont rien voulu savoir! La compagnie aérienne a bien voulu décaler mon vol d’une semaine, vu la situation sanitaire exceptionnelle, mais Ibis, non! Je suis bien évidemment terriblement déçu par cette décision. Je vais donc dorénavant séjourner la semaine prochaine à La Falaise Bonanjo et adopter cet hôtel pour mes futurs voyages.
