Great place to unwind near the beach!
Pros:

The rooms were big, clean and with all the required facilities. A sea facing balcony was the highlight for me. Cherry on top was the delicious breakfast spread. Clean pool and bar on poolside was cool.

Cons:

The kids' playing area could be better. And on-site parking was expensive.

Schöne Anlage, gute Erholung
Pros:

Uns hat vieles gefallen. Das Personal war sehr freundlich, der Außenbereich um den Pool ist sehr gut gepflegt und sauber. Das Frühstück war auch wirklich sehr gut, für jeden etwas dabei. Das Zimmer mit direktem Meerblick war groß und man hat viel Platz.

Cons:

Obwohl die Zimmer groß und geräumig sind, fehlt es etwas an Stauraum. Kaffee auf dem Zimmer wäre auch noch gut gewesen. Und das Bad hat keinen guten Abzug. Unten gab es viel so Spiel-Möglichkeiten, mit Kids super, ohne Kids etwas störend. Es sind aber alles Kleinigkeiten, insgesamt hat es uns sehr gut gefallen. :)

Pros:

Bra frukost, mycket att välja mellan, trevlig pool och nära till stranden.

Cons:

Ett stort minus var att vår balkong var mot den delen där ventilationen för hela anläggningen var och den var väldigt högljudd. Sov man med stängd dörr och AC så väsnades det och stängde man av AC och öppnade balkongdörren så var det än värre oljud.

Good, but could be better
Pros:

Was a good hotel, nice room sizes and reasonably good breakfast, although no halal or vegetarian options available in breakfast. No halal whatsoever in any of the meals.
Good facilities overall and the beach was plus point.

Cons:

1. Very poor standard WiFi. Puts you off the hotel very much.
2. Room service in the morning was very superficial.
3. Pool water was not temperature controlled. Very uncomfortable.
4. The extractor fan in bathroom was not functional.
