Good location and helpful staff
Pros:

We had a room in the C building with direct sea-view. The apartment was specious and had nice balcony. The bed was comfortable and the pillows and blankets were nice as well. There is a car park below the building. The staff was friendly and helpful. It is nice that there is indoor spa area, the steam room was nice. The location is good to go for walks by the sea and there are some restaurants and also shopping center nearby. It takes some 20 minutes by bus to the center/old town.

Cons:

The bathroom lacked ventilation, the sliding door of the bathroom didn't close properly, which wasn't a problem for us, but could be to others. The breakfast menu had very few variations, no fish of any kind in the selection on any day.
