Μία πολύ καλή επιλογή ξενοδοχείου με καλή σχέση ποιότητας - τιμής.
Pros:

Το ξενοδοχείο βρίσκεται σε μία πολύ καλή τοποθεσία με πάρκο απέναντι και θέα στη θάλασσα. Το δωμάτιο ήταν αρκετά μεγάλο και άνετο, πολύ καθαρό και αρκετές παροχές. Το πρωινό είχε αρκετές επιλογές. Ευγενικό προσωπικό και πρόθυμο να σε εξυπηρετήσει. Το εστιατόριο - μπαρ είναι πολύ καλό με ωραίο μενού και ζωντανή μουσική κάποια βράδια.

Cons:

Η κουζίνα του εστιατορίου του ξενοδοχείου κλείνει νωρίς (20:30). Την ημέρα αναχώρησης δεν υπήρχε κανένας στη ρεσεψιόν για να μας δώσει την απόδειξη. Έτσι χρειάστηκε να στείλουμε e-mail για να τη ζητήσουμε και μας την έστειλαν.

It was value for money
Pros:

The breakfast was included and the sea view was beautiful.

Cons:

No room with a bath option was very disappointing, the room was a small room. The rads were on full blast so it was way to warm with it being a small room.
