Güzeldi
Pros:

Tesis genel olarak güzeldi

Cons:

Kaldığımız odada açılan pencere yoktu. Deniz üstü odada kaldık; ama denize doğru açılabilen temiz hava alımabilen pencere yoktu. Sadece cam kapı vardı; otelde kedi olduğu için benim de kedi tüyü alerjim olduğu için kapı açık uyumak mümlün değil. Kapı önündeki tahta aralıklı bölmeden sınırlı hava geliyor. Denize karşı odada; bungalow'da denize karşı açılan, tel olan pencere olmalıydı.

Pros:

The sea and beach were extraordinally clean and the staff was very welcoming and nice. The location is also very nice as it is both remote from people, surrouned by nature but also close to a city center where you can find entertainment when bored.

Cons:

Everything was very nice and pleasant
