Pros:

Flot udsigt og beliggenhed. Fantastisk sød personale.

Cons:

Poolen var ikke særlig børnevenlig, da der var skarpe sten hele vejen rundt. Vores aircondition var også i stykker på værelset de sidste to nætter og det var svært at få hjælp til at fikse det.

A comfortable and enjoyable stay with great views and location, though a few improvements are needed
Pros:

The room was clean, well-maintained, and comfortable. The balcony offered an excellent view of both the beach and the pool. The pool itself was clean and not crowded, though access is limited to 7:00 PM. The beach is conveniently located within approximately 50 meters and can be accessed directly from the room.

Cons:

The quality and condition of the room door and lock require attention. The shower was not functioning properly, and the taps and sanitary fittings appear somewhat outdated, although they were satisfactorily clean. Additionally, while the room itself was pleasant, the access corridors could be improved in terms of aesthetics.
