Jederzeit wieder, sehr zu empfehlen.
Pros:

Das Personal war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Frühstück war genügend Auswahl vorhanden. Die Zimmer waren geräumig, gut ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Die Sitzgelegenheiten am Pool waren ausreichend und gemütlich.

Cons:

Der Pool war doch sehr erfrischend. Ein Paar Grad wärmer wären nicht schlecht.

Cozy place with attentive and kind staff. Safe in a great location.
Pros:

We were greeted at the door though we arrived at 10:30pm. The staff was friendly and check in was fast. They also organized a shuttle for us from the airport and that was an excellent experience. The breakfast food was very tasty with quite the variety and the wait staff was friendly. Little Scotia was clean and cozy and the bed was very comfortable.

Cons:

There is not a thing we did not like.
