Pros:

There was a lot of ants in my room, my friend was very badly bitten. The sea was absolutely filthy, a lot of plastic bottles and debris on the beach. If it was clean it would be beautiful. Very disappointed with accommodation.

Cons:

The room had a bad smell, and a lot of ants!

Pros:

mi è piaciuta la posizione difronte al mare e l'ho trovata molto rilassante.
Molto piacevole fare colazione sulla terrazza sopra il mare

Cons:

Io ho viaggiato da sola, ma lo spazio per i vestiti potrebbe essere poco in due. Solo un lato del letto aveva il comodino e la lampada: suggerirei di aggiungere almeno un'altra lampada. Letto molto comodo e pulito. Da migliorare l'arredo bagno (luce sopra lo specchio, porta asciugamani a lato del lavandino)

Fint på hotellet
Pros:

Fin rum, fint läge vid vattnet, trevlig personal

Cons:

Det fick inte att bada i vattnet, botten var lerig, stranden ostädad med mycket plast. Det går ut en bäck med smutsigt vatten precis norr om hotellet

J’ai bien aimé l’ensemble des choses, sauf le petit déjeuner et le manquement de l’eau chaude.
Pros:

La chambre était propre et bien rangé.

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner, il faudrait penser à changer les fruits. Sinon dans l’ensemble c’était bien. Certaines jours, il n’y avait pas de l’eau chaude pour la douche.

Gut für 1-2 Nächte bei Durchreise
Pros:

Gute Lage zwischen Stadt und Flughafen mit tollem Meerblick. Zimmer und Essen sehr Basic dafür günstig.

Cons:

Einfaches Hotel mit in die Jahre gekommenen Zimmern. Recht viele Moskitos, aber Netze über den Betten. Essen könnte besser sein.
