Mooie plek aan zee
Pros:

Mooi groot appartement met uitzicht op zee. Goed bed, mooi zwembad.

Cons:

De keuken; vaatwasser niet gebruikt want die stonk immens en ‘s avonds last van kakkerlakken. Dit ook gemeld bij receptie.

Nice looking but needs a bit more attention to detail to achieve the standard of Grand Mercure
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Bed was thin and uncomfortable. This bed was no where near the standard of mattress I usually find with the Mercure brand.
A bad nights sleep is the start of many problems
