disappointing as didn't meet expectation
Pros:

Basic accommodation and moderately clean

Cons:

I was expecting that a Kitchenette would include a sink and crockery. Instead there was just a microwave and fridge with therefore no ability to cook/wash up etc.

Lovely staff - room really let the place down
Pros:

The overall first impression was positive. Liked the vibe

Cons:

Our experience was ruined by the apparent lack of soundproofing at all.
We could hear our neighbours in everything they did - they werent trying to be noisy - but every conversation; every time they went to the toilet or had a shower; the TV in their room etc was as if they were standing in our room

Prima lokatie, prima verblijf, goed prijs/kwaliteit verhouding.
Pros:

Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel bij de receptie. We zaten in een appartement apart gelegen van het hoofdgebouw. Het was schoon en functioneel. Prima voor het doel van ons verblijf. Keuken had het hoogst noodzakelijke om in het appartement te kunnen ontbijten en thee te zetten. Fijn dat er een wasmachine aanwezig was. Het was mooi ruim voor ons gezin van 5. Ligging in de buurt van het strand ook goed.

Cons:

Het was niet echt gezellig en er was redelijk wat geluid van de straat. Wifi signaal was zeer matig. Dat laatste mag echt wel beter als er wifi aangeboden wordt.
