Pros:

Skvělý personál, který byl vždy velice nápomocný a ochotný, vynikající snídaně, super lokalita na procházky po pláži, všudypřítomné opičky jako bonus..

Cons:

Chtělo by to něco na odložení kufrů nebo oblečení..

The location is wonderful, beachfront and facilities included everything I care about: good wifi, clean rooms, staff were exceptional especially elizabeth, agnese and moses! and finally a gym and beachfront. I would come back monthly if I could.

Cons:

food could be better, the breakfast could use some care and flexibility.

Preis Leistung sehr okay!
Pros:

Zimmer waren gut, trotz der schwarzen Container gut klimatisiert! Alles sehr funktionell gelöst!
Das Personal ist extrem freundlich und bemüht!

Cons:

Zwischen den Containern, im Sitzbereich bei der Bar ist es extrem heiß, da es eine durchsichtige Beschattung gibt und durch die Bauweise kein Luftzug durchweht.

We slept ok
Pros:

The bed was confortable
The AC
The hot shower

Cons:

Container feel is very inauthentic and you feel like in a box
The room that we were given was in front of the bar and was noisy
The swimming pool is not enjoyable it is more a bassin than a pool ans there is another hotel in front with a nice pool but it’s not allowed to swim in this one
It’s not beachfront but on a back parking of an hotel

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..
