Good stay.
Pros:

Small hotel with very friendly and helpful staff and very good food. The area around the pool was very pretty and peaceful. Not far from the beach - about a 5 minute walk.

Cons:

The room safes were very small. Fine to fit in passports but no chance for tablets or laptops. Also, the description on Booking.com did not say it doesn't serve alcohol.

Pros:

Es war wirklich außergewöhnlich gut. Wir haben selten ein so sauberes und gepflegtes Hotel erlebt. Allein die Pool-Anlage wurde 3x/Tag sauber gemacht. Das Personal war wirklich unfassbar nett und aufmerksam. Insgesamt ist die ganze Anlage ein Traum! Obwohl das Hotel an einer größeren Straße liegt, kriegt man davon hinter den Türen des Hotels nichts mit! Es ist wirklich eine kleine Oase. Das Frühstück war auch super.

O cazare drăguță
Pros:

Personalul

Cons:

Micul dejun, care a fost același în fiecare zi, cu puține opțiuni și destul de modest.

Din păcate, experiența a fost afectată de atitudinea doamnei manager, care a fost neprofesionistă și deloc orientată către clienți. Consider că modul în care interacționează cu oaspeții ar trebui îmbunătățit semnificativ.

Thuiskomen in een oase van rust
Pros:

Ons verblijf in The Garten was geweldig. Het verblijf is een oase van rust. We hebben ons nog nooit zo welkom gevoeld, zo voldaan gevoeld, zo thuis gevoeld! De gastheer en het personeel staan altijd klaar voor de gasten, zijn super toegankelijk en helpen je steeds met een lach om het meeste uit je vakantie te halen. Hun eerlijke en oprechte manier van communiceren appreciëren we enorm! The Garten heeft een plekje in ons hart gekregen en dit is zeker en vast niet de laatste keer dat wij hier zullen verblijven!

Cons:

Geen opmerkingen

Super fijn verblijf in Paje!
Pros:

Prachtig hotel! Heel fijn kleinschalig, met super mooie kamers en een fijn zwembad. Alles is prachtig ingericht. Het personeel is super vriendelijk, gastvrij en staan altijd voor je klaar. Lekker en uitgebreid ontbijt en inderdaad super goede hamburgers! De locatie is goed, 5 minuten lopen tot aan het strand en alle restaurants. Zou dit hotel zeker aanbevelen!
