Hotel très bien situé avec de nombreuses piscines.

Cons:

Le confort de la chambre. Petite baignoire, pas de douche à l'italienne. Tapisseries d'âge avancé.

Sehr schönes Hotel mit leichten Abstrichen
Pros:

Hilfsbereitschaft des Personals, aufmerksame Gästebetreuung, Lage, ruhiges Zimmer mit Meerblick (es gibt auch welche zur Straße, die laut sind)

Cons:

Schlechter Kaffee beim Frühstück, schlechte Qualität der Marmeladen. Schwierige Parkplatzsituation (gratis parken nur auf sehr beengtem Gelände, teilweise stark abschüssig, dort teils kaum oder keine Parkplätze verfügbar - die oben gelegenen Bezahlparkplätze sind zu teuer)

Pros:

Amazing view, comfortable, great breakfast, super nice staff

Cons:

A bit worn-out, wellness closing at 18h, which is a bit strange for a wellness/summer holiday location.

Quite difficult to find all of the facilities e.g. inner pull and jacuzzi allowed for children (not very well indicated)
