Pros:

Auf jeden Fall Zimmer mit Meerblick buchen, genialer Sonnenaufgang und wunderschön nachts das Meer zu hören. Großes und bequemes Bett! Frühstück war gut, mit leckerem Obstsalat. Das Hotel hat keine eigenen Parkplätze aber man findet in der Umgebung immer was.

Cons:

Relativ kleines Zimmer, aber das war ok. Wasser wird nur sehr langsam warm und an einem Vormittag wurde es leider gar nicht warm.

Pros:

Obsługa bardzo miła. Pokoje przy samym morzu, coś wspaniałego. Można oglądać załamujące się fale leżąc w łóżku. Śniadania również świeże i smaczne. Polecam odwiedzić!
