Super pobyt🙂
Pros:

Super pobyt. Lokalizacja znakomita. Wszędzie blisko. Plaża zaledwie kilka kroków. Sklepy, restauracje, apteka i kantor, wszędzie blisko. Śniadania ok. Pracownicy bardzo mili. Właściciele również. Pokój czysty i zadbany. Jestem bardzo zadowolona z pobytu w Hotelu Kristal.

Cons:

Na balkonie stare i niewygodne krzesełka. Pora na wymianę. Okno balkonowe ciężko się otwierało.

Taxing stay - no lifts
Pros:

location was great, staff was helpful. Like there was no lift in the hotel, one old man in staff helped us to take luggage upstairs. breakfast was simple but nice. we need boiling water staff tried to sort this out as there was no kettle in the room. I wanted english breakfast tea, i requested and they arranged it. They also give us a breakfast to take with us one day when we wer eleaving for tour early morning, though they said it was not whatthey usually do. View from balcony was amazing.

Cons:

No tea and coffee in the room, lizard in the toilet, toilet seat was broken, no lift, old key system, no card for electricity control, bed sheets were stained. no private beach, the uploaded photos were based on public beach.

Hotellet ligger jätte bra ställe och det är lugnt men rummet och visa personalen var otrevliga
Pros:

Att den ligger jättebra ställe och även hotellet ligger nära stranden

Cons:

Jag gillade inte sängen och rummet, när man ser bilderna på hemsida och verkligheten är två olika
Och även sängkläder är inte så fina.
Kostnaden och den där hotellet passar inte
