Pros:

Номер. Большой и чистый. Пляж. Бассейн .

Cons:

Персонал не очень вежливый. Очень лезит. Сразу за все выписавыется сумма. В итоге уехали грустными, т.к. надеялись на спокойный отдых, а не так, что как-быдто каждый шаг контролируется. На шизлонг нельзя вещи оставить, на пляже шизлонги тоже пользаваться нельзя. Полный пансион, но воды нет, за воду доплата. Такие суммы и воду зажмотили, это конечно убило просто. Взяли из номера, так пермонал сразу замечания и стаканы унесли. Что вода за обедом и ужином, как и всп напитки вдруг платная, не предупреждают. В общем остались недовольны. Да, и еда однообразная, одни нагитцы и пиццы, а хотелось больше полезного.

Pros:

Da localização. É excepcional. Acesso à praia diretamente do hotel. Piscina muito boa. Muitas espreguiçadeiras. Autocarro à porta com acesso ao centro da cidade em 30 minutos.
A simpatia do pessoal.
Pequeno almoço variado, com boas opções. Tem sempre um funcionário a fazer ovos ou panquecas na hora.
Bar da piscina com boas opções de refeição.
O entretenimento diário foi fantástico.

Cons:

A limpeza. Encontrei pratos sujos na pilha de pratos limpos ao pequeno almoço.
Os sumos não são naturais. Não tem pastelaria caseira.
As refeições do bar da piscina são boas, mas o preço é excessivo.

Great relaxing stay, very near the beach, in comfortable clean hotel; good food and friendly staff.
Pros:

Very good hotel, friendly staff, good food, very clean and good location very near the beach. The pool was large and good, with nice sunchairs and towels included, and had animation mid-day.

Cons:

The location was good for the beach and sea, but there are not many amenities / attractions easily accessible within walking distance. Pool opening time was 10.30 - a bit late.

Pros:

Das Gym war ausgelegt auf Crossfit. Das war gut.
Hotel ist direkt am Meer. Aber Lage etwas abseits. schwierig ohne Auto

Cons:

Alles kostet extra. Bei diesem Niveau sollte man wenigstens mal einen Kaffee bekommen.
Parkplatz kostet 20 Euro am Tag. Liegen Kosten extra am Strand.
Man muss beim Frühstück ewig warten bis man ein Tisch bekommt. Frühstück ist echt keine 4 Sterne wert. und erinnert mehr an riesen Kantine. Alles sehr geschmacksneutral.

Pros:

Big rooms, great breakfast, beach on your doorstep

If you get a connecting room, you can hear a pin drop next door. If you want some town life, this is not the place for you
