Nous avons séjourné deux nuits au Sofitel Legend et avons été agréablement surpris par la qualité de l’établissement. Jusqu’à ce séjour, nous n’avions jamais été pleinement satisfaits dans les hôtels Sofitel. Nous occupions une suite junior dans l’aile coloniale (historique). Compte tenu des contraintes inhérentes à la rénovation d’un bâtiment ancien, la chambre était très satisfaisante : la climatisation était parfaitement efficace pour contrer la chaleur extérieure, le matelas (grâce à son surmatelas) offrait un excellent confort, la suite avait une bonne dimension et l’emplacement de l’établissement est parfait pour visiter la ville. À noter toutefois : les chambres donnant sur l’entrée peuvent être bruyantes en soirée, en raison du petit parc situé en face de l’hôtel (la musique s’arrête vers 23 h). Les chaises longues autour de la piscine sont prises rapidement, mais le personnel aide activement les clients à trouver une place, de manière proactive. Le petit-déjeuner buffet est délicieux et particulièrement copieux. Enfin, le service d’Edouardo T., au restaurant, a été irréprochable : avenant, discret et attentif. Son professionnalisme mérite d’être souligné.
