Schöner Aufenthalt direkt am Strand
Pros:

Die Lage vom Hotel mit direktem Zugang zum Strand ist wunderschön. Das Frühstück mit live Klaviermusik war sehr stimmungsvoll und geschmeckt hat es uns auch. Insgesamt hat es einen gemütlichen Flair, auch wenn die Einrichtung ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen ist. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis war sehr gut und wir kommen sehr gerne wieder.

Cons:

Hellere Lampen im Zimmer wären fein, ist aber nur eine kleine Anregung.

Slow check in. Staff do not reply to emails. Not 4 star.
Pros:

The location to the beach and restaurants is great.

Cons:

The lift hydraulics made a terrible noise which can be heard from the rooms day and night. I was also given a parking fine as I wasn’t given a hanger at check in for my hire car. They told me to email the reception and they would void the ticket, they didn’t. I have since 3 months later been charged by the hire car company and no one from the property despite emails has got back to me. Check in too ages and the hotel in my opinion is not 4 star. Stayed in much better 4 star hotels in the area. Wouldn’t stay here again.

Geweldig hotel met prachtig uitzicht
Pros:

Geweldig hotel en de staf was ontzettend aardig en behulpzaam. Bij een klein probleem met mijn deur kwam er direct iemand langs om dat op te lossen. Prachtige locatie direct aan het strand, met mooi uitzicht en eigen pad naar het strand. Hotel is mooi ingericht. Continentaal ontbijt was zeer goed.

Cons:

Enige nadeel vond ik dat de kamers geen verwarming hebben (mijn bezoek was in januari). Met de airco komt de kamer wel snel lekker op temperatuur, maar zodra je die uitzet is de binnentemperatuur gauw weer terug bij 16-17 graden.

Malgré tout, la gentillesse du personnel et leur disponibilité nous avons passé un très bon séjour
Pros:

Le changement de chambre à cause de travaux. L hôtel était quasiment vide et on a pas pu avoir la vue face a la mer comme réserver initialement.
