Cons:

Das Licht im Bad war sehr dürftig. Zudem waren alles alte Materialien. Der Badewanneneinstieg war sehr mühsam, da zuerst eine Wasserschutzschreibe etwas geöffnet werden musste, bevor man Duschen konnte.

Sehr gute Lage. Strand ist nicht weit weg. Aber der Weg zurück ganz schön steil. Sehr freundlicher Empfang gleich mit guten Ausflugtipps. Grosses Zimmer mit Balkon. Immer ausreichend Parkplätze.

Klimaanlage zielt genau aufs Bett.

Cons:

Leider hat das Bayview nur sehr eingeschränkt Blick auf die Bucht. Der Zugang zum Strand ist aus Gründen der Sicherheit sehr weit. Auf den kürzesten Weg durch ein kleines Buschgebiet wird dringlichst abgeraten.
