Le bon choix
Pros:

Le personnel est incroyablement gentil et attentionné. La piscine et la structure est vraiment confortable, on s’y sent immédiatement bien. Bon petit déjeuner. Nettoyage quotidien et propreté impeccable. Merci pour tout

Cons:

Voiture obligatoire (c’était le cas pour nous). Quelques déceptions au restaurant (bolognaise extra sucrée) mais dans l’ensemble on y mangeait bien.

Attention les photos et la réalité. .
Pros:

La gentillesse du personnel 😍
Les chambres et la propreté.

Cons:

Nous n’avons pas pu profiter de la plage ☹️

Nous sommes déçus de notre séjour. Les photos de la plage sur Booking nous ont semblé trompeuses, car elles ne reflètent pas la réalité : de mars à octobre, elle est souvent envahie par les algues et peu agréable. Cette information n’est pas indiquée par l’établissement, alors qu’elle nous aurait permis de faire un choix éclairé.
Nous avions choisi cet hôtel pour profiter de la plage et des infrastructures avec notre enfant. Nous aurions probablement opté pour un autre établissement si nous avions su cela à l’avance. Nous aurions apprécié davantage de transparence dès la réservation.
La piscine est agréable, mais en sortant, nous avions les pieds et les mains teintés de bleu, ce qui est surprenant.
Dans l’ensemble, nous repartons déçus, surtout par le manque de transparence concernant l’état de la plage

Schöne Unterkunft mit allem was man braucht.
Pros:

Die Unterkunft hat alles was man braucht. Wunderschönes Zimmer und großes Badezimmer. Pool. Strandzugang. Restaurant und Beachbar. Das Frühstück war ausreichend für uns. Der Strand eignet sich wirklich toll für einen Spaziergang am Abend. Das Seegras war vorhanden, hat uns aber nicht gestört. Die Stimmung am Strand im feinen Sand und der Sonnenuntergang sind auch mit Seegras toll. Personal war freundlich.
Mietauto ist empfehlenswert. Wir sind mit Kleinkind gereist und es war wirklich toll. In der Früh und am Abend am Strand, dazwischen Ausflüge und Pool. Perfekt.

Cons:

Wir haben nichts auszusetzen.

Pros:

Отличное расположение, Шикарный пляж с видом на закат.
Персонал выше всяких похвал. Встретили приветственным напитком, все быстро оформили. Мы отмечали день рождения - они порекомендовали нам шикарный видовой ресторан, забронировали там столик.
Завтраки вкусные.
В номере есть все необходимое. В ванной два душа, что очень удобно.

Cons:

Не хватало только кондиционера для волос. Если добавить его, то будет просто супер!

Pros:

Внимательный персонал. Номер был хорошим. Твёрдые три звезды отеля себя оправдывают. Рекомендую.

Cons:

Небольшая глубина и много водорослей в воде на пляже ее тоже не убирают, так же недалеко вытекает канализация которая воняет и купаться даже в 50 - 100 мертах от нее такое себе. Мы не любители купаться потому для нас это небыло проблемой

Csodálatos hotel meseszerű tengerparton
Pros:

Közvetlenül a tengerparton fekszik amely gyönyörű és csendes. Fürdőzés kiválló. Reggelente végig lehet kocogni vagy sétálni a hosszú parton. Egészséges ebéd és vacsora nagyon finom a hotel étteremben melynek mese a kilátása. Mi imádtuk!

It was a perfect stay, the place is beautiful, location is good and central to the attractions.
Pros:

The breakfast is very good, a lot of small tasty surprises served every morning.

Cons:

The dinner can be better value for money - maybe take example from the breakfast and add some tapas dishes
