Pros:

The location is superb.
My flight landed at 2am and they are 10min from the airport.
The views are outstanding
Food is really good
Friendly staff, very attentive

Cons:

There's nothing I didn't like. They made sure all the problems were corrected during my stay
They might have to fire the security company. The guards are always on their phones.

Prima!
Pros:

Super dicht bij het vliegveld, wij bleven om die reden ook 1 nacht. Verder is er ook niks in de buurt. Wifi is top, zwembad is fijn. Airco werkt goed. Wij zaten op de begane grond met uitzicht op de zee, dat was een gratis upgrade wat erg lief was. Supergrote kamer en netjes.

Cons:

Kussens hadden wat vlekken, zijn toe aan vervanging. Verder stond het badkamerraam open vanwege de ventilatie maar daardoor waren er wel veel muggen binnen. Kussens op de ligbedden zouden fijn zijn.
Avondeten was erg lekker maar de pizza was denk ik een oven pizza.

Da evitare
Pros:

Abbiamo apprezzato solo il ristorante, il resto tutto pessimo! La struttura sembra bellissima all'esterno (soprattutto dopo le strade che abbiamo fatto per arrivarci), ma una volta entrati nelle camere bisogna ricredersi.

Cons:

Avevamo prenotato questa struttura perché vicina all'aeroporto, tre camere, una con me da sola, e le altre due con coppie di amici e amiche. Di tutte le camere non si chiudevano le porte finestre esterne che davano sul terrazzo, ed io dormendo da sola ho chiesto di essere spostata verso una camera con porta finestra funzionante e che si potesse chiudere. Prima mi hanno detto che la struttura era piena, poi magicamente è uscita una camera libera verso la quale sono stata accompagnata. Le due persone che mi hanno accompagnato nella seconda camera parlavano tra di loro e ho percepito che nemmeno la seconda camera sarebbe stata con porta finestra funzionante, ma entrati dentro mi hanno fatto vedere che si richiudeva bene. Li ho salutati, e una volta andati via ho ricontrollato da sola la porta finestra e si apriva senza possibilità di bloccarla. Sono dovuta scendere di nuovo in reception (tutto questo a mezzanotte) perché chiamando in reception non rispondeva nessuno, ho fatto presente del problema con la porta finestra e le due persone di prima sono salite con me. La loro soluzione è stata di infilare un giravite sotto alla porta per bloccarla!! Stanca da un lungo viaggio ho accettato la soluzione posticcia, li ho salutati e sono andata a fare una doccia per potermi mettere a letto. La doccia perdeva acqua e ha fatto un lago a terra, e il gabinetto non avrei nemmeno potuto usarlo perché la tavoletta era tutta rotta e arrugginita; il soffitto della stanza era pieno strapieno di ragni, ed io sono fortemente aracnofobica, per cui ho dovuto prendere tutte le mie cose, scendere giù da sola con due valige enormi, andare in reception per esternare la situazione pietosa della stanza, e andare a dormire nella stanza con i miei amici, praticamente tre persone in in letto matrimoniale!! ASSURDO ED INDECENTE
