Pros:

Mysigt, nära till stranden.

Cons:

Att vem som helst kunde gå in via en grind från stranden, det kändes inte säkert.

This place is a dream!
Pros:

Absolutely everything! The staff is amazing, all super kind. The place is a dream, the beach is at your door and it's clean and beautiful. I couldn't say anything bad about this place, my stay was a dream and I miss it already. I need to leave a thank you note for Mr. Mariano at the reception. He is an amazing person and made our stay so pleasant. Thank you for everything - we will be back :)

I had a fabulous holiday as a single traveller and look forward to visiting again.
Pros:

The property is in a great location and my apartment was spacious inside and out. It was exceptionally clean. The surrounding gardens are constantly tended to which makes it look very loved.

Cons:

The check-in time is very late being 5pm and the checkout is early being 10am.

Pros:

Die Lage direkt am Strand mit Supermärkten und Restaurants in der Nähe war großartig. Das Personal war immer hilfsbereit und freundlich. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber und mit allem eingerichtet, was man braucht.

Cons:

Leider werden vom Hotel keine Sonnenliegen und Schirme am Strand bereitgestellt. Der Fitnessraum ist winzig und die wenigen Geräte veraltet. Das Lauftraining kann man aber sowieso viel besser auf dem Holzsteg am Strand absolvieren :)

Agradable
Pros:

La ubicación del resort. Parking incluido y gratuito dentro del resort. Aunque las habitaciones daban a un patio interior, desde el salón se veía el mar.

Cons:

Un poco anticuado, le vendría bien una reforma a los apartamentos. También vendría bien que tuviera más menaje de cocina, muy justo. Y podrían ofrecer cambio de toallas de piscina.

We love it here and look forward to our return very soon!
Pros:

The location of these apartments are fantastic, you literally step out onto the beach. Luna Beach restaurant is beautiful and so much to do around the area. Although some of the apartments could do with a refresh they are spotlessly clean and everything you need. Pool towels are also supplied.

Cons:

I made an error with our booking and booked a studio instead of an apartment and although we have visited lots of times the Block C studios were our least favourite and we would not book these again. Road noise in block C5 was very loud and no sun lounger space on balcony.
