Top Preis Leistung
Pros:

Eine nette, ruhige Unterkunft. Wir hatten ein schönes Zimmer mit einem tollen Bad. Alles etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber alles noch so gut erhalten, dass man sich wohl gefühlt hat.
Das Frühstück war etwas minimalistisch aber frisch gemacht und lecker.

Cons:

Warum ist das Poolwasser immer so kalt 😅 ;-))

For a 4 star, boutique hotel was very disappointed. Expected more for what I paid.
Pros:

The location was fine, close to beach and amenities.

Cons:

Limited choice of breakfasts. Was dished up cold breakfast one morning. No dishing up spoons for cereals. No side plates for toast. Toast dumped on your plate of food. Never saw the owners. Nobody took any interest in their guests. Staff lounging around in reception eating their food. Areas of the establishment run down and dirty. No staff member explained the remote for the gates upon arrival or assisted with luggage.
