Pros:

Skulle havde været på Kingfisher i 16 dage, 2 dage efter krisen i Mellemøsten startede ….
God kommunikation med Hotel personalet
Omkring vores situation og de valgte at frafalde betaling som de var berettiget til…
Vi vender helt sikkert tilbage til dette magiske sted
Næste år …
Vi følger jer på sociale medier 🤗❤️

Bel hôtel posé sur une magnifique plage adaptée à la baignade.
Pros:

Très joli hôtel posé sur la plage, grande chambre joliment décorée, jolie piscine, pouf et transat à disposition avec parasol. Possibilité d'accéder aux ruelles commerçantes autour. La plage est une grande baie calme et parfaite pour la baignade. Deux espaces de restauration dont un les pieds dans le sable.

Cons:

l'hôtel d'à côté qui avait un groupe de musique qui a joué tard le soir.

Beautiful location. Good vibes.
Pros:

Right on the beach. Loved the location. The room was spacious, beautiful and clean. The breakfast buffet was excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive. Helped us get our clothes dried before heading out.

Cons:

Did not have shower gel or soap in the room. Had to ask and insist a bit. Also only received 1 small Nescafé packet and 1 tea bag for two people.

Highly recommend this spot, but would avoid Saturday if you aren’t into dance parties.
Pros:

Lovely leisurely breakfasts in a beautiful location , but best to pre-warn them if you are in a hurry.

Cons:

Fantastic stay in a gorgeous spot. Didn’t enjoy trying to sleep in our room that was close to the dance party they had on Saturday night.

Pros:

The hotel is located right on the shore. The beach is clean and sandy. There are sunbeds and clean towels. The rooms are simple and clean, but have everything you need. There is air conditioning. Cleaning was done every day, and towels were changed upon request. The food in the restaurant was delicious. I want to especially mention the staff – very friendly, attentive, and kind.
