Pros:

Locatia, situat langa mare. Personalul foarte ok, din pacate hotelul era vechi, camerele demodate si baia murdara.

Cons:

Micul dejun foarte limitat, acelasi in fiecare zi: 3-4 tipuri de salam si 2-3 tipuri de branza. Doua legume: rosii si castraveti. Cafeaua foarte slaba, dar aici cred ca datorita aparatului de duzina. Hotelul relativ vechi. Am avut camera cu vedere la plaja dar iarba se tundea foarte devreme (undeva pe la 6:30). Aerele conditionate erau foarte murdare si emanau un miros neplacut. Din pacate cel mai mare minus e raportul calitate-pret.

Brilliant !!
Pros:

Location is amazing. Very clean and friendly staff.

Cons:

The hotel and staff are fantastic been here 3 years in a row but one thing that is frustrating is on top of paying for breakfast for myself and my partner, to have gluten free hot food offered as I am coeliac costs an additional €5 daily supplement on top of breakfast price that had to be paid already.
