Very friendly staff. Large room with balcony. Spacious. Nice bathroom with walk in shower. Comfortable and clean. Great view of the ocean from the balcony. Breakfast was excellent!

Ehrlich nicht zu empfehlen. Fotos bei Booking nicht aktuell.
Pros:

Alles alt. Schranke geht nur auf, wenn das Personal es selber aufmacht, dafür muss man aber erst ins Hotel gehe. Total nervig. Frühstück keine 3 € Wert. Es gab am ersten Morgen keine kalte Milch. Auf Nachfrage, wurde gesagt, morgen stellen Sie mehr hin. Fahrstuhl war zu erst kaputt. Da mussten wir mit einem Ekel Staff Fahrstuhl hochfahren mit Schweißgeruch.

Cons:

Schimmel im Schwimmbad. Sauna kaputt. Kein Whirlpool. Schwarze Haare auf dem Boden bei Check In. Matratzen riechen muffig. Kühlschrank ok.Insgesamt einfach ekelhaft.
Und 25 € für Kind mehr bezahlen, weil Booking nicht die richtige Buchung übernommen hat. Pro Nacht.

Segunda estadia!
Pros:

É a segunda vez que vou à Meia Maratona e fico hospedado neste Hotel. O que mais prezo é a empatia e limpeza e tudo isso foi cumprido. Senti muita atenção por parte dos trabalhadores do Hotel. Os quartos eram espaçosos e, tal como no primeiro ano, houve sempre silêncio o que ajudou imenso no descanso. A temperatura da piscina estava óptima e o pequeno almoço muito saboroso - especialmente aqueles pães pequenos! Haja saúde para podermos voltar para o ano!

Cons:

Ainda há algumas áreas a precisar de renovação, mas nada de grave!
