Pros:

Izcila atrašanās vieta, balkons ar skatu uz okeānu un katru vakaru saulriets. Klusa un mierīga vieta, piemērota nesteidzīgai atpūtai. Gar viesnīcu ir promenāde, iespējamas patīkamas vakara pastaigas. Atsaucīgs un laipns personāls. Lieliskas brokastis. Privāta autostāvvieta, maksā 10 eiro diennaktī.

Cons:

Fēns istabiņā bija ļoti vecs un nepildīja savu funkciju, nebija iespējams izžāvēt matus, kā arī ūdens spiediens dušā bija ļoti zems, kas sagādāja grūtības izmazgāt matus.
