Gut direkt am Wasser gelegen unweit des Zentrums
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt direkt am Meer und hat eine Restaurant-Terrasse. Es liegt recht ruhig. Unser Zimmer war gross, die Betten bequem und das Bad war auch gut. Es gibt Parkplätze entlang der Strasse und es gibt ein Hotelparkhaus (first come). Ins Zentrum sind es nur wenige Gehminuten. Das Essen im Restaurant ist gut.

Cons:

Es war bei uns warm und wir konnten das Fenster nur einen kleinen Spalt öffnen. Es war zwar ein Ventilator aufgestellt, aber der brachte nicht wirklich viel Kühlung.

All I want is a comfy bed and a shower. Bed was ok. Bathroom not fit for purpose.
Pros:

Good location.

Cons:

Restaurant staff appear to have no hospitality training whatsoever. We were completely ignored by what would appear to be the person in charge.

Large room with a good size ensuite bathroom. The separate shower was quite large however the trickle of water from the shower head was barely enough to wet the wall. Very very frustrating.
