Middelmatig
Pros:

De locatie en de kamer

Cons:

De eetzaal is ernstig gedateerd en zeer onpersoonlijk. Weinig sfeervol. Wat niet helpt is het personeel dat erbij loopt alsof het leven elke dag hel is. Zeer korte lontjes en geen
Glimlach. Om die reden zou ik daar nooit meer terug gaan

Pros:

Sådan burde alle hoteller være. Der er en meget behagelig atmosfære på hotellet og alt, hvad vi havde brug for: God morgenmadsbuffet, fantastisk udsigt fra tagterrassen og dens pool, stille værelser, god rengøring og service fra personalet samt beliggenhed ved strande og i hyggelig bydel med mange gode restauranter.

Cons:

Fitnessrummet har for mange cardiomaskiner og for få styrketræningsmaskiner.
