top!
Pros:

Un hôtel avec un bon rapport qualité-prix. Ce n’est pas le meilleur hôtel, mais il est loin d’être le pire, bien au contraire.

Les employés sont très, très, très gentils, en particulier Noela.

Merci pour l’agréable séjour passé chez vous.

Cons:

Un lit plus grand ainsi qu’une moustiquaire plus spacieuse seraient très appréciés.

Auf keinen Fall buchen - Bruchbude!
Pros:

Die Lage war ein Traum. Direkter Blick aufs Wasser und im Zimmer zum einschlafen konnte man das Meeresrauschen hören. Leider hören hier die positiven Punkte auch schon auf.

Cons:

Die Badezimmer sind verschimmelt und fallen fast auseinander. Verletzungsgefahr!
Sobald ein paar mehr Gäste da sind funktioniert die Elektrizität nicht mehr. Täglich keine AC und Stromausfälle sind Tagesordnung. Haben wir bei 3 Wochen Rundreise nirgends in dem Ausmaß erlebt wie hier.
Das Personal hat keine Ahnung und tut alles mit Ausreden ab.
Karten Zahlung funktioniert nicht. Liegt angeblich am WIFI - Verbindung auf den Handys einwandfrei. Überall anders ist kartenzahlung ohne Probleme möglich - selbst im Mini Markt für 2 Flaschen Wasser.
Beim Frühstück wurde dann vergessen einzukaufen und es war einfach nichts mehr da an Basics wie einem Ei.
Bucht dieses Hotel auf keinen Fall - Abzocke ohne Ende! Booking sollte dieses Hotel auf die Blacklist setzen!

Heerlijk genoten!
Pros:

De locatie was heel fijn! Direct aan het strand en op loopafstand ook leuke andere restaurantjes en een marktje. HEt eten bij het restaurant was heerlijk, maar er was dus ook de mogelijkheid om om de hoek op het strand te eten, wat enorm gezellig was.
Heel veel dank naar het personeel, die waren zo ontzettend vriendelijk en lief. Ook zeer veel aandacht naar onze kinderen.

Cons:

De kamer was een beetje verouderd, maar lekker ruim voor ons als gezin.

We wouldn’t go again. The beach is so overrated. It’s littered and polluted. The markets are a struggle because you are
Pros:

Location in the beach was great and staff were friendly despite the poor English and communication struggles.

Cons:

the road to the hotel is scary with dirty markers and constant approaches from merchants to hustle you for money. The poor English was a constant challenge. Western style menu was poorly researched and often odd. The beach is so average and overrated.

Hotel misafirleri için çevrelenmiş ve tertemiz bir plajı vardı, otel odaları çok temiz ve tertipli.
Pros:

Kahvaltıda 6-7 çeşit ürün vardı, sınırsız bir şekilde isteyebilirsiniz. Lezzetleri ortalama düzeyde ve doyurucu idi.

Cons:

Genel anlamda gayet güzeldi, sevmediğim bir durum oluşmadı.
