Relais des Merveilles

Came as a family on August 28/29/30, 2022 with my wife and my two sons, we had an excellent first meal for Sunday lunch! Served in a superb environment and by a lovely waitress. It felt good for the future, unfortunately... As we were staying several days we had taken the half-board option. Well, the half board option isn't great, you see... There's a lot to eat, it's even gargantuan in our opinion. So yes, this quantity may please a certain clientele but we prefer to have a little less but more flavorful... So let's be clear, some products are of good quality (chicken, lamb) but the bulgur salad is very filling where we look for something other than the bulgur itself or the big cup of fromage blanc or the industrial fruit salad for dessert, are all things that spoil the party a little. And it’s ultimately quite expensive for what it is, this half board. So of course, it CANNOT be as good as à la carte but hey, a bit basic. ! As for breakfast, unfortunately it's the worst: Industrial charcuterie, industrial brie type cheese, industrial sweet butter, industrial honey, industrial white sugar, etc....but why?!!! Is there not a small producer of local honey or artisanal jams in the area? Since the establishment says it plays the card of quality local products, why not follow through on the process? Then we pay half board for four people and we only have two towels and a pair of sheets. Children count for nothing. This story about sheets is not clear and apparently I read another opinion which raised this same question... Well in fact we have to pay extra to see our children sleep in sheets and be able to dry off after the shower! Not very clear I tell you, we don't really understand the why and the how. Come on, now the best for last: whoever sees the boss smiling takes a photo, it’s collector’s item!!! A shame for an owner when you see his employees so friendly and smiling. We almost want to imagine job interviews for seasonal workers where we would say to them: ABOVE ALL, YOU’RE SMILING, eh?! Well the employees are very cheerful, it’s a shame that the manager doesn’t lead by example. I admit that this annoyed me a lot because I am extremely sensitive to the welcome being a trader myself, and in order not to inconvenience the customers on site and to spare my children a little rant I said nothing about the moment and I swallowed my pride, But for the first time I wanted to point it out by posting this review because it's a really cold welcome. I read several other reviews on trip advisor regarding this establishment which referred to this! So I didn't dream, it's a recurring problem... Really a shame because the place is very good, the environment sublime, the room with

De passage pour 1 nuit pour un Road trip moto, le relais des merveilles porte bien son nom. Nicher au fond d’une vallée magnifique, le personnel est très accueillant, le repas du soir était excellent avec de bons produits locaux et le petit déjeuner était très copieux. Les dortoirs sont très propres. Bref parfait
