Pros:

The hotel is in a perfect location on the water and within a short walking distance of the town. ALL of the staff are friendly and helpful. Beds were comfy and nice shower.

Cons:

The pool requires a swim cap which no one tells you until u are there and it is a separate building. its 4 euros and you cannot charge to ur room. They did find me a used one so I did not have to walk back to my room. The staff there were not as friendly as the hotel. You cannot bring phones there.

Excellent location and beautifully well maintained hotel
Pros:

The gardens were beautiful. The whole place was well maintained. Beautiful location. The view from our window over the estuary was lovely.

Cons:

We were in a family room. It was a pity that the bed was double instead of king-size.
