Amazing.
Pros:

The location and access to the beach

Cons:

The fact that there was no place to put my luggage. Add a bench or sth next to the window there's space there.

Pros:

Czysto schludnie bardzo miły i pomocny personel. Blisko do plaży (około 300metrow).i spotu kitesurfingowego.

Cons:

Śniadania trochę monotonne. Trochę brakuje lodówki w pokoju i jakiegoś wygodnego fotela lub kanapy. Ogólnie stosunek jakości do ceny 11/10..

Très bien malgré les petits détails
Pros:

Très bien situé et excellent rapport qualité prix. La propreté 10/10 et le personnel très disponible. La nourriture est bonne. Agréable surprise tous les matins avec la visite des singes sur l’hôtel

Cons:

Le manque d’organisation entre le personnel. Mauvaise surprise le dernier jour. Mes vêtements à la laverie n’étaient pas prêt et j’avais mon vol. Ils étaient censé être prêt la veille. On nous a dit ok pour le lendemain 7h. Puis une autre personne nous a dit 8h sauf que nous étions vraiment pressé. Vêtement repassé sur le tas avec 20 min de retard et pas de box petit déjeuner comme précisé la veille. Trop de bruit de la part des touristes mais le personnel fait le nécessaire pour éviter cela.

Nice stay near the beach
Pros:

The staff was nice and helpful, the room was simple, clean and offered good value for money overall. The location is very convenient and close to the beach.

Cons:

It was a bit noisy, my room was on the ground floor in front of the bar area and I could hear the football match on TV and other guests talking.

i may not go there for holiday unless there are changes
Pros:

1. The hotel was not bad
2. staff were friendly
3. linen were clean
4. the pool was good

Cons:

1.breakfast, was boring include just a fruit or juice , cereals and other than one slice of bread make it two and another pastry for those who don't eat bread.
2. rooms should be cleaned daily and linen changed daily
3.staff are over worked we could tell when you request for something they take a very long time before it is brought
4.when we complained the staff clearly said the management are aware but they don't take any action.
where do the ratings and comments go to
5. i had not done my ratings and comments and the the information where it says your rating has changed means someone fgave ratings and comments we did not give at all
