Club Du Lac
The place has good location by the lake but it’s far from town and you need car. It’s old hotel and needs more renovations. The food at the restaurant is way too expensive. Just small fish with vegetables is $14 Yiu can go to town and get way cheaper food then at the hotel. Money wise it’s too expensive for the quality. The Goodlife Residence which at the top of the mountain is half price cheaper.
