Pros:

Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen nachdem wir ganz spontan in diesem Hotel gebucht hatten. Die Lage direkt am Strand ist wunderbar. Die Anlage ist wunderschön gestaltet. Die Wohnungen bieten viel privacy und sind sehr gut ausgestattet. Sonnenschirm, große Terrasse mit Möbeln, Wäscheständer mit Wäscheklammern, Waschmaschine mit Waschmittel, Geschirrspüler mit Geschirrtabs. Bügelbrett, Bügeleisen, Backofen, Toaster, Mikrowelle, Wasserkocher, Badetücher, Weingläser und vieles mehr. Ein eigener Zugang und Meerblick. Der Pool war sauber und beheizt. Genügend Liegen waren vorhanden. Kostenlos nutzbar Tischtennis, Sauna, Gym und Dampfsauna. Miniigolf 2 Euro, Tennis ( kleiner Platz) 5 Euro. Billard, Terrasse, alles da. Direkt an Autobahn gelegen aber davon merkt man wenig. Fußgängerbrücke führt über die Autobahn direkt zu Shops und Supermärkten. Ruhiger Strandabschnitt mit paar Restaurants. Klimaanlage im Wohnzimmer und Schlafzimmer. Ballspiel im Pool erlaubt. Parken vor der Tür der Wohnung kostenlos.

Nix

Bene l'estetica esterna un po meno l'interno
Pros:

La struttura esterna i giardini e le fontane

Cons:

L'appartamento dove alloggiavo peccava di manutenzione (intonaco che cadeva, formiche una chiusura di una finestra non funzionante.)....praticamente si leggevano bene i segni del tempo

La piscina climatizada perfecta para los niños.

Por decir algo, me faltó un poco más de animaciones ya que el apartahotel está un poco alejado de todo...
