Albergo centrale ma molto rumoroso
Pros:

Posizione perfetta con spiaggia e lettini

Cons:

La struttura è fatiscente ma funzionale. Andrebbe semplicemente fatta un po' di manutenzione, sostituire rubinetti e cuscini. La stanza in cui ci avevano messo era decisamente sporca e rovinata, ma il personale ha accolto subito il nostro reclamo e ci hanno cambiato stanza con una al piano di sopra decisamente meglio.

Excelente ubicación y servicio
Pros:

La habitación era sencilla pero muy limpia. Si dejabas las llaves te la limpiaban todos los días y te cambiaban las toallas. El personal del hotel y el restaurante fueron excelentes, muy atentos y serviciales. El restaurante tenia una comida muy rica y fresca, se notaba la higiene. El desayuno espectacular y completo. Algo muy bueno del hotel es que por alojarte alli tenias las tumbonas y sombrillas gratis, cosa que no he visto en otros hoteles, salvo en los resorts más lujosos. Fui sola y me senti muy segura dejando mis cosas solas y yendome al agua, nadie te tocaba nada

Cons:

Se cortaba la luz todos los días aunque por suerte volvía rapidamente. El wifi no era tan bueno. Había mucho acoso de gente vendiendote de todo: masajes, excursiones, paseos, motos acuaticas etc. Se metian muchas veces cuando estaban descansando en la tumbona. El hotel tenia seguridad sin embargo los dejaban estar ahi y esto se volvia molesto cuando uno queria descansar.

Beachside hotel with major noise disturbance issue
Pros:

Nice foliage in the courtyard. Reasonable breakfast in the beachside restaurant.

Cons:

We booked for 7 nights but after 2 nights we found the accommodation intolerable and moved out to an alternative hotel for the final 5 nights.

The main problem was very loud thumping music at the beachfront from two competing sources right next to the hotel's restaurant and beach frontage. From late afternoon until 2am. Even earplugs were insufficient to cancel the noise.

Shower inadequate due to extremely poor flow of water.

No safe deposit box, as specified in the booking particulars.

Our bedroom lit by only one bright bare bulb switched only by the front door. No bedside lamp or switch.

Service in the restaurant was very slow and they tried to charge us for an item we did not order.

We agreed with the owner on leaving that we could receive a proportionate refund of the advanced payment made through Booking.com but the owner has as yet failed to honour that agreement.

Wir waren das 2 mal hier und sind enttäuscht wie es sich verändert hat
Pros:

Strand direkt vor der Tür mit einem tollen Restaurant allerdings für abends.Sonnenliegen inkl. Schirm sind gratis.

Cons:

Die Unterkunft ist Standard und in die Jahre gekommen.Es ist laut ab 10:00 morgens geht es an dem Strand ab,immer wieder kommt es zu den gleichen Aufführungen von Akrobaten bis Mitternacht Im Wasser wird es voll Jetski ,Touristenboote und irgendwie fahren auch Boote zum Festland . Es hat ein Charakter von Fähr und Transportbetrieb. Es wird getankt. Es richt zeitweise wie auf eine Tankstelle.

Pros:

the location

Cons:

Unfortunately, our stay at this place was quite disappointing. On the first day, the water pressure in the shower was extremely low, and the water itself was ice-cold. On the second day, the water was slightly warmer, but there was still no pressure, making it very difficult to shower properly.

The Wi-Fi connection was extremely weak and barely usable. The room was not cleaned during my stay, and the bathroom was in poor condition — definitely not up to standard.

Overall, the stay was not pleasant, and I wouldn’t recommend this place to others.

Pros:

La posizione dell'hotel è top! direttamente sulla spiaggia e con lettini a disposizione degli ospiti. volendo la stanza la puliscono tutti i giorni basta lasciare le chiavi alla reception. la zona non è male e ci sono molte opzioni di ristoranti e locali validi vicino.

Cons:

nota pessima la colazione. tutti i giorni era solo frutta e uova. al quarto giorno non se ne poteva più. la stanza è grande ma il bagno è orribile e l'acqua della doccia usciva a gocce praticamente.

ubytovanie pre veľmi málo náročných
Pros:

blízko dobrá pláž, lehátka v cene, blízko kvalitné reštaurácie, blízko obchod, blízko trh, príjemný personál

Cons:

polovicu 14 dňového pobytu netiekla teplá voda, za 14 dni nedokázali opraviť/vymeniť trezor, moskytiera deravá na veľa miestach, minimálne miesto na uloženie oblečenia, nábytok v izbe aj na terase napadnutý hmyzom, pleseň v sprche a na umývadle. na raňajky na výber len ovocie, vajíčka a palacinky, v noci často neprimeraný hluk. priamo na pláži parkuje veľa lodiek, ktoré komplikujú kúpanie

Much better than expected- want to be there right now!
Pros:

The location
The sunbeds and beach towels.
The restaurant
The staff
The atmosphere

Cons:

Our first impression was terrible as we arrived at 4am; however, there was someone waiting for us. The gave us a room with no A/A, but earlier the following morning they gave us a unit that was OK
The facilities are basic and simple, but the beds are super comfortable and they clean the room everyday.
All members staff are so hospitable and well-meaning that they are permanently trying to see to your requests. We highly recommend this place as it's on the beach and just steps away from the local stalls. There's also a good supermarket nearby.
The restaurant accepts credit cards.
Breakfast is good and simple: eggs, fruit, and very good ground coffee. There are also buns, bread and toast.
Do not expect luxury; that's in the heart of their people. It's all that you need.

Pros:

The location was right on the beach.
We enjoyed our stay at Baraka Beach Bungalows. The staff was helpful. I would recommend they re-look at their breakfast menu as it was dry. Besides that we enjoyed our stay.

Cons:

The beds are hard hence uncomfortable to sleep in. Also their breakfast fast was dry
