Prisvärt hotell men saknar detaljer för att vara 4 stjärnigt hotell, jag är nöjd men hade nog gett 3 stjärnor.
Pros:

Nära till centrum och havet, hade bra badrum och sängar. Trevlig personal och fin inredning.

Cons:

Frukostbuffén kanske inte ser ut som på bild men det var ganska bra. Även poolen såg inte riktigt ut som på bild utan var lite mindre, men annars var den fin och takbaren var bra. Gymmet var litet med och sega maskiner men fria vikterna var bra.

Fantastiskt väder och trevliga människor
Pros:

Att det var nyrenoverat uppfräschat
Städning varje dag mycket skönt.

Cons:

Lite få platser med solstolar vid poolen i skugga.
Frukosten hade kunnat ha vatten att erbjuda istället för juice, hade kunnat vara lite mer färskt bröd på frukosten. Kanske lite mer alternativ för den som är laktosintolerant exempelvis yoghurt utan laktos.

Pros:

Location is amazing, very central, close to the beach, promenade, bus stops, cafes, grocery stores. Staff was very friendly and always there if anything was needed. Swimming pool at the top of the hotel was amazing for this hot weather and they even had some live music few times and cocktail promotions in the evening.
