Pros:

Buffet breakfast was great, rooms were spacious and comfy. Pool area was great no complaints for beds, bar was very slow when queuing for drinks, food was very good but bit of a wait when busy but was fine.

Location was great, short stroll down to beach go left plenty of bars or right to marina loads of bars and food establishments. Up the hill was another square with lots of restaurants great atmosphere.

Cons:

Just long wait at bar is all, hill up to hotel could be a bit of a struggle for older or invalid residents but didn't bother our group much at all.

Pros:

The hotel was clean, bright and airy. All the staff were pleasant. Buffet breakfast and dinner were excellent. Lots of choice and salad and fruit were really fresh. Waiting staff kept the tables and area super clean. The bar was small but comfy enough (max occupancy 72!) Generally guests would sit at the tables outside. But might be an issue if there are prolonged periods of rain.

Vrlo zadovoljan
Pros:

Odličan doručak, ima svega. Dobar bazen i poratni bazeni ( jacuzzi ). Caffe bar i restoran također na visokoj razini. Osoblje uslužno i dobro raspoloženo. Veliki plus je check-in 0-24 za kasne letove recimo.

Cons:

Naplaćuju parking, nije uključen u cijenu smještaja. Može se parkirati na ulici ali je teže pronaći budući da je velika koncentracija ljudi i objekata u okolici.
