Gerne wieder - sehr zu empfehlen
Pros:

War bereits im November so toll, dass wir gleich erneut für vor dem Rückflug gebucht haben / Familienzimmer war da leider ausgebucht / Bus ins Stadtzentrum fast direkt vor der Tür / zum Strand wenige Meter / Frühstücksrestaurant und Pizzeria direkt gegenüber / ich hatte im November etwas vergessen, was gefunden und bis Februar aufbewahrt wurde: nochmal vielen Dank dafür

Cons:

Alles super - Achtung: Pub, Restaurant und Biergarten am Haus - in den Zimmern kaum etwas davon zu hören

It was perfect. I slept soundly and felt well rested after being on a plane for 24 hours.
Pros:

I did not have breakfast. Was having a night of rest after long haul flight before catching another plane home. The room, bed etc were sublime. Would have loved a bath but really didn’t matter.

Cons:

A bath tub is the only inclusion I would have loved.

Pros:

The location and view of the ocean was amazing. I can recommend the ocean view rooms. They are worth it.
A breakfast possibility would be nice, but there are really good cafes nearby.

Cons:

I havent seen much of the staff and their main priority was the pub/ restaurant, which was fine for me.
Yes, it can be load, but that didnt bother me.
