Great location, but the rooms desperately need an update.
Pros:

Very warm and friendly welcome upon our arrival. Lovely hotel and well kept gardens. With the exception of rooms with a garden view , the rest of the hotel rooms had a beautiful sea view.

Very good selection of food.

All staff very helpful and friendly, a special thank you to Rana the lovely bar man, Irene Sousa and Yusuf who waited upon our table.

Unfortunately the weather was not kind to us, but we still had a good time.

Plaisant
Pros:

Jolie petit déjeuner
Par contre le soir le buffet c’était assez restreint

Cons:

On avait loué une voiture électrique, l’hôtel possédait 2 places de charge ( mais en demandant de l’aide à la réception, personne connaissait le système)
Beaucoup de courants d’airs ( pour un mois de Mai frisquet)

Goed
Pros:

Fijn zwembad. Aardig personeel, eten en drinken inclusief

Cons:

Gebouw was outdated. Veel oudere mensen, weinig kinderen. Niet echt een kinder hotel maar staat zo wel aangeprezen.
