Allt du behöver och prisvärt
Pros:

Fint läge med härlig pool med fina solstolsytor och närhet till strand och strandpromenad. Hjälpsam och vänlig personal. Välskött och vackert hotell.
Bra och varierat utbud i buffén. Enklelt men gott.

Cons:

Rummet vi fick var i vår valda kategori men lågt placerat. Kanske för att vi bad om tidig incheckning? Finns flera finare lägen.
