Sehr angenehm.
Pros:

Die Lage ist einmalig. Ruhig direkt am Strand gelegen. Das Restaurant ist super.

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind in einem sehr unterschiedlichen Zustand.. Es schwankt von gar nicht renoviert bis super renoviert. Lassen Sie sich das Zimmer zeigen bevor sie einziehen.

A relaxing and enjoyable stay with great service, a clean environment, and a beautiful beach.
Pros:

The hotel itself was very clean and well-maintained, which made our stay even more comfortable. Our room was spacious and tidy.

Cons:

Overall, everything was great, but one small thing we noticed was that toothpaste was not provided. It would be a nice addition to the room amenities for added convenience.
