Чудове місце
Pros:

Чудове розташування - близько море, хороші заклади харчування і в той же час негаласлива вулиця
Дуже чисто. Прибирали і змінювали рушники через день.
Приємні господарі.

Cons:

Трохи замала ванна, без полиць, куди було б зручно складати речі. Також душова кабіна невелика і не закривались - майже всі бризки були на підлозі

No recomendable
Pros:

Creo que solo la nevera

Cons:

Realmente todo, mal ubicado, sin recepción, sin TV, aire acondicionado que hace mucho ruido, piscina compartido con otro hotel, la ducha es un desastre- se queda un charco de agua de tamaña de un lago dentro del lavabo…sobre todo en las fotos de booking habitaciones parecen en mejor condiciones que en la realidad, no recomendable para personas que valoran comodidad y quieren tener una estancia agradable.

Pros:

מיקום שקט, אך ברחוב עם חנויות וטברנות.
הבריכה במתחם משותף עם המלון הסמוך וכך גם הטברנה/קפיטריה שצמודה לבריכה.
הצוות שירותי ונעים ונענה לבקשות, האוכל בטברנה מגוון ובמחיר סביר.
מיטות נוחות, מזגן כלול במחיר, ויפי מצוין.

Nice stay with pool and super aircon
Pros:

Super nice owners, super aircon quiet and efficient (and I hate aircon), nice pool and super modern rooms with a nice little balcony w/ ocean view, there is also a nice taverna next door and a little supermarket.

Cons:

Not so easy Access to the beach, one has to walk 10min or walk through the resort next door.
