Pros:

Camera

Cons:

Atteggiamento del Personale delle pulizie. Alle 09:30 hanno bussato per rifare la stanza. Abbiamo chiesto di ripassare dopo 10 minuti e alla fine quando siamo rientrati alle 18:00, la stanza non era stata pulita. Dopo 3 telefonate alla reception, sono arrivate 3 inservienti che con fare molto arrabbiato hanno pulito in 5 minuti. Dopo aver finito se ne sono andate sbattendo la porta senza neanche salutare.

Très sympa mais un peu surclassé par rapport aux prix et prestations.
Pros:

Le logement est très bien situé pour accéder à de belles plages. Le service de chambre est super. Très propre. Les lieux sont calmes et tranquilles. La literie est bonne.

Cons:

Nous avons trouvé le service au restaurant assez lent mais les serveurs agréables. Nous avons eu un problème avec l’eau froide dans l’appartement mais rien de terrible.

An ok hotel, average location, but ultimately the high cost did not make sense.
Pros:

Comfortable room, decent gym.

Cons:

Location was poor, it’s really the hotel and that’s it, so you have to drive. The main dining area was tired and the food was average. The staff were average, moody looking. We found a large dead rat on our outside the room terrace.

Pros:

Beautiful location of the hotel, a bit isolated from the rest which gives charm to it. Spacious two bedroom room for us as a family of 4, not many people in the hotel overall due to its size. Adorable plant smells everywhere.

Cons:

Food in the restaurant I would rate 3 out of 5. Also we had a very unusual experience of sneakers disappearing from our room. My son came in the shoes but at the end they have just vanished. This story stops me from putting a higher rating for our staying.

Meer moet dat niet zijn.
Pros:

Rustig hotel, verzorgd ontbijt, fantastisch uitzicht, mooie stranden in de buurt. Lokatie is gegeerd voor huwelijksfeesten maar wij hadden daar relatief weinig last van.

Cons:

Taalvaardigheid van het personeel.

Great location and pool.
Pros:

Location and pool

Cons:

Value was not great. Some issues in the room such as arriving with dirty dishes in the dishwasher and broken remotes. For the price I would expect it to be immaculate.
