Erholsam
Pros:

Wir haben 4 Nächte gebucht und haben den Aufenthalt vor Ort verlängert. Das Hotel liegt ausserhalb der Ortschaft, wodurch man seine Ruhe hat. Die Mitarbeiter waren immer freundlich und hilfsbereit. Ein grosses Lob geht an den Koch oder die Köchin! Es gibt eine grosse Auswahl beim Frühstück. Wir fanden die Portionen sehr grosszügig.

Great place - stay here!
Pros:

Great place with great staff. Really cool. Stay here!

Cons:

The breakfast and lunch is by menu only. It’s great food but small portions for big hungry boys that have been surfing half day. Just be prepared to buy a second breakfast at the supermarket.

Pros:

El sitio es espectacular, la atención es maravilloso y la relación calidad precio es muy buena, un sitio 100% recomendado.
Tener en cuenta que aunque tiene cerca la playa el encuentro, hay mucho arrecife cerca a la orilla por ende mucho erizo, se debe usar zapatos de agua.

Cons:

Nada que decir, todo bueno
