Schöne Unterkunft in zentraler Lage
Pros:

Super schöne Unterkunft und Extrem freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal, Lage direkt am Strand, der an der Stelle allerdings fast ganz weggespült ist, man kann aber direkt daneben Baden, gute Lage für Surfen wenn es die Bedingungen zulassen.
Unterkunft ist sehr schön gemacht, man muss sich nur auf laute Musik bis 22 Uhr von der Nachbar Bar einstellen. Wer Ruhe sucht ist hier eher falsch, dafür zentrale Lage, man kann den Ortskern und Restaurants schnell erreichen.

Cons:

Laute Musik der Bar nebenan bis 22 Uhr

Pros:

Lovely room with views of the sea. Very comfortable facilities - comfy bed and nice shower. Great staff - very helpful and kind. Nice breakfast. Surfing lessons on the adjacent beach.

Cons:

Little hot water for showers, but as it's so hot, it's not a big problem. As someone who burns easily, more shade on the sunbeds would have been good.

Pros:

La comida es buena.

Cons:

Importante que recuerden que si pagas con tarjeta, se incrementa 5%.
No hay salvavidas. Y el oleaje es muy fuerte.
