Nice resort hotel, disappointing view
Pros:

The room was much bigger than I expected, the bed was comfortable.
The size of the walk in shower.

Cons:

The view from the room, it looked straight onto a very sad RV park, no trees, no grass. Not a great view at all.
The restaurant and pub close at 9. If you arrive on the 8pm ferry, there is no way you will make it to the hotel in time for a meal or a drink.
The staff seemed tired.

Nie wieder!
Pros:

Die Lage am Strand.

Cons:

Bilder geben nicht die Realität wieder.
Servicierung im Restaurant: man wartet auf alles sehr lange.
Gäbe draußen Sitzgelegenheit mit Feuerstellen. 3x ersucht einzuschalten, niemand hat sich verantwortlich gefühlt dem nachzukommen.
Nur kleiner Bereich für Getränkekonsumation draußen.
Schließt alles bereits um 21 Uhr.
Verleih von Kajaks, Subs, Fahrräder groß angepriesen, wenig verfügbar und muss man tagelang im Vorhinein reservieren.
Poolbereich sehr klein und überlaufen mit Kindern, wenig verfügbare Liegen.
An wettermässig schlechteren Tagen ist dieses Hotel schlichtweg klein und gibt es keine Sitzgelegenheiten. Kein netter Bar- rezeptionsbereich indoor.
Da wir nur ein Basic Zimmer buchen konnten , waren wir im hintersten dunklen Eck. Bloß diese Zimmerkategorie nicht buchen! Katastrophales Preis-, Leistungsverhältnis.

Pleasant and comfortable - could be a really nice hotel but has a couple of annoying quirks which negatively impact the
Pros:

Good equipment available for use on the beach. On site restaurant was also very good - kids menu had good range of options.

Cons:

There was only one elevator serving 9 floors of guests and all staff - it meant most of the time lifts weren’t available without a 10 minute + wait.

It was also a bit strange to allow delivery drivers from door dash to wander the floors - would perhaps have expected food to be dropped off at reception rather than allow non- guests or staff in and around the hotel at will.

Extraordinarily. That says it.
Pros:

It really starts with the staff. Buildings and location are really great. But what makes it “sing” is the people and the standards of kind care that your organization has put into place. It shows every time we go, every time we interact, and that makes us continually return.

Cons:

Extraordinary. Parking is a bit of a challenge now but you are working around that.

Fantastic and comfortable stay for solo and family travels.
Pros:

Very spacious and comfortable room. Super cleanly when I arrived with friendly staff. Great view of the beach and surrounding areas and very comfortable little veranda area to sit and relax with a great view.

Cons:

Parking was a bit of trouble as there wasn't much space to park though admittedly it was during high season so not really surprised.
