Pros:

Izcila atrašanās vieta, balkons ar skatu uz okeānu un katru vakaru saulriets. Klusa un mierīga vieta, piemērota nesteidzīgai atpūtai. Gar viesnīcu ir promenāde, iespējamas patīkamas vakara pastaigas. Atsaucīgs un laipns personāls. Lieliskas brokastis. Privāta autostāvvieta, maksā 10 eiro diennaktī.

Cons:

Fēns istabiņā bija ļoti vecs un nepildīja savu funkciju, nebija iespējams izžāvēt matus, kā arī ūdens spiediens dušā bija ļoti zems, kas sagādāja grūtības izmazgāt matus.

Pros:

The room and the view from the room was amazing, I could literally watch the sunset from my bed. The hotel was well equipped and maintained.

Cons:

The foods on the à la carte menu didn't taste that good or wasn't that well prepared. On the first day I had to wait 1 hour in the lobby to check in as my room was not done yet.
