Bardzo udany pobyt!
Pros:

Bardzo przyjemny hotel, niedaleko do plaży i do centrum miasteczka. Śniadania bardzo dobre. W pokojach bardzo czysto i przytulnie, klimatyzacja bardzo dobrze działała :)
Parking co prawda był bardzo malutki, dlatego nie korzystaliśmy z niego i parkowaliśmy samochód na bezpłatnych parkingach przy ulicy.
