Enjoyable stay, due to location, room cleanliness and competitive pricing, I would stay again.
Pros:

Nice location on The Strand overlooking the water, but you need to book an ocean front room to get the view. Close to resturants and bars. Great access to the beach and swimming locations.

Cons:

As it's located right on the Strand the road in front does get traffic noise that you can hear clearly within the room. The addition of double glazed windows would help to improve noise reduction.

Ok, geht.
Pros:

Gute Lage, Parkplatz in Garage, Pool, wenn auch recht klein.

Cons:

Dusche/WC recht klein und schlecht angeordnet. Grösster Negativpunkt: Klimaanlage, kann zwar einfach abgestellt werden, wenn die Zimmerdame sie dann wieder einschaltet ist es zu kalt und Wasser schlägt sich auf allen Spiegeln und sogar auf dem Steinboden nieder, nach mehreren Tagen Regen.
