Jeweils eine Übernachtung Hin- und Rückflug, da unser Appartement am anderen Ende der Insel liegt
Pros:

5min Fahrzeit zum Flughafen, gut ausgestattetes Frühstück Büffet und ein bequemes Doppelzimmer mit kleinem Balkon und Fernseher

Cons:

Zu wenige hoteleigene Parkplätze und bei später Anreise auch kein Parkplatz in der näheren Umgebung…das Badezimmer muss hygienischer werden…

Pratique pour une dernière nuit avant le vol de retour.
Pros:

Bon accueil, chambre confortable, propreté de l'hôtel.
Proche de l'aéroport pour un départ très matinal.

Pros:

I cannot argue, it was clean. The location is close to the airport, 20 min walk, and they also use it as an advantage on their side of course :) there is a fridge, AC.
It server our purpose for a one-night stay before our flight.

Cons:

The room received a quadruple room instead of the double one, and judging on their photos, this was is more aged and worn out. All the rooms would deserve some modernization, not only bit here and there. The price was only reflected in the location, the rest is overpriced.
