Für eine Nacht war alles völlig in Ordnung.
Pros:

Zum nahegelegenen Strand muss man über eine kleine Brücke gehen. Der Strand ist steinig und eignet sich nicht zum Baden oder zum Hinlegen. Dafür gibt es einen Pool, der sehr schön ist, groß mit vielen Liegen und Sonnenschirm.
Die Zimmer sind klein, das Badezimmer auch. Aber es gibt einen Balkon, einen Safe und einen Kühlschrank. Alles sehr sauber.
Das Frühstück war ausreichend, mit Wurst, Käse und Rührei.

Cons:

Wir waren im ganzen Haus die einzigsten Gäste. Etwas Gesellschaft hätte uns gut gefallen. Aber der Koch und die Bedienung haben uns verwöhnt, das war auch sehr schön.

Fijn verblijf; goede prijs-kwaliteit verhouding.
Pros:

Super schoon, goed bed en zeker een goede prijs-kwaliteit verhouding.
Aardig personeel en een fijn ontbijt. Ondanks het verblijf in het laagseizoen (het was rustig) is er erg goed voor ons gezorgd. Ook het diner in het restaurant was erg lekker!

Cons:

Eigenlijk was alles goed: miste alleen een thee faciliteit op de kamer (waterkoker) en bekertjes om uit te drinken.

unfriendly
Cons:

Honestly this family run hotel was run by a very grumpy and unfriendly man and his mother. He was not welcoming to us, he didnt give us any information, the entire arrival was a unwelcomed first for me. Everything he did for us he made it same like he was doing us a favor rather than accommodating us. He seemed more interested in the football match that was on then he was us. We took three rooms and all of us found the beds to be hard and uncomfortable. In my bathroom alone there was a used feminine pad rolled up and still in the garbage from the last guest. I didn't mention this to the front desk and waited to reveal this now. Also breakfast was also low quality and for him to serve us coffee was a big deal for him, like he hates his job or something? I hate writing bad reviews but this guy needs to work on himself, his presentation update his WIFI, and facility. Good luck with this place.

Niet doen!
Pros:

kamer was schoon en inderdaad uitzicht op zee. Parkeren voor de deur

Cons:

omschrijving hotel faciliteiten komt niet overeen met de realiteit. Hotel niet aan het kiezel strand, vervuild zwembad over spoor en nog een weg, zonder zonnebedden of parasols. We waren een van de weinige gasten. Ontbijt minimaal op 2 tafels gedekt in een groot leeg restaurant. In de avond bij terugkomst in het hotel zat naast de receptiebalie een slechthorende oma TV te kijken en de man achter de balie een ander TV programma op zijn mobiel. De man was wel erg vriendelijk.
Hotelbed erg hard, douche had geen waterdruk. Geen waterkoker op kamer zoals beschreven. Wel balkon met zeezicht, geen zitje.
We zijn na 1 van de 2 geboekte nachten weggegaan, omdat er ook niks in de omgeving te doen was en wij slechts 2 weken per jaar vakantie hebben. De receptie vroeg ook niet waarom we gingen. Hij sprak trouwens geen Engels. Wij hadden geen WIFI. Hij ook niet dus we moesten contant gewoon 2 nachten afrekenen. Factuur was ook ingewikkeld. Hierna nog genoten in een resort verderop......niet eens zoveel duurder

Pros:

Das Hotel liegt in unmittelbarer Nähe zum einem sehr schönen Strand, der Pool ist auch sehrangenem und gepflegt. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, das Zimmer war bis auf ein paar kleinere Mängel sehr schön und wurde täglich gereinigt. Im dazu gehörenden Restaurant haben wir sehr lecker gegessen und können es bestens weiter empfehlen. Da wir ohne Auto unterwegs waren, war die Lage doch etwas schwierig für uns, weil keine oder nur selten öffentliche Verkehrsmittel zur Verfügung standen. Daher ein extra grosses Lob für unseren Gastgeber Gigi, der keine Mühe scheute uns trotzdem einige Ausflüge in die wunderbare Umgebung zu ermöglichen, vielen Dank Gigi😃

Rien

Personnel, pas sympathique, les photos ne sont pas la réalité, la piscine est délabré, il y a des rails de chemin de fer au pied de l’hôtel, aucune attention aux visiteurs étrangers et le spa est inexistant, nous entendions les voisins, comme si ils étaient dans notre chambre, le numéro 207

Da evitare.

Niente.

Cons:

La posizione. Un albergo posizionato tra la statale e la ferrovia dove è impossibile dormire. Cena di basso livello e personale scortese.

Inkább válassz másik szállást!!
Pros:

Semmi.

Cons:

A szállás közvetlenül egy vonatsín mellett van, a reggeliző asztaltól 10m-re megy el a vonat. A tengerpartot is csak körbe, egy vasúti felüljárón át lehet megközelíteni. Sajnos a parton nagy kövek vannak, sem papucsban, sem a nélkül nem lehet körlekedni, csúszik, baleset veszélyes. Vannak kint napozóágyak, de ez egy szabad strand, felügyelet nélkül, bárki használhatja, nem a szállodáé. Ugyan van egy kis medence, és ugyan valóban van a partján egy bár, de naponta kb. 2x2 órát van nyitva, és csak olaszul beszél a kiszolgáló (annyit sem ért angolul, hogy két sört kérek)
A szállás egy különálló parti szállás, messze a várostól, ami azt jelenti, hogy se boltok, se éttermek, de még egy kávéző sincs gyalogos távra.

tetőzte a "hangulatot" az egyik estén egy helyi énekes roppant hamis, és torz, viszont hangos estje, Hajnal 1-ig tarotta szinten a kisgyerekes családokat is.

Nem európai embernek való, óriási csalódás volt, ha találtam volna máshol szabad szobát, annak ellenére átmegyek másik szállodába, hogy duplán kellett volna kifizetnem.

Bien sitio
Pros:

El hotel está al lado de la playa (de piedras) solo hay que cruzar la vía del tren por la pasarela y estás en 3 minutos. Tiene sombrillas y hamacas. Tiene piscina y en general está bien. El desayuno mejorable

Pros:

Las vistas al mar.

Cons:

La piscina y la playa están fuera del recinto del hotel, dado que tienes que salir fuera y cruzar una vía del tren. Aparcamiento muy mal. Está en mitad "de la nada", a unos 50 minutos de Cefalú. Los horarios: desayuno de 8 a 9:30, comida de 13 a 14:30 y cenas de 20 a 21:30 (y eso que una de las puertas se muestran como "restaurante". En las habitaciones se escucha todo y la amabilidad del personal de por las noches deja mucho que desear ( entras por la puerta, saludas educadamente y ni te contestan). No lo recomiendo para nada.
