Overall it was a lovely experience. There were few things which could have better, e.g. waiting time to check in, being 45 minutes to 1 hour is not acceptable. We did the walking tour with Anshika to Château Bel Ombre , who is a very bubbly, caring and dedicated person to her job. She has a great energy and enthusiasm. She welcomed every question. Before this we also did a relaxation with a lady (Ooma) at the Spa for 15 mins. Her positive energy was very revitalising. The burger truck, both the order person and the lady making the burger were very nice. Delicious burgers. The head pastry chef greeted us and great pain au chocolat :) Thank you for the lovely stay.
