Nicht noch einmal
Pros:

Die Lage direkt am Strand

Cons:

Die Zimmer sind extremst hellhörig! Das Personal war nicht so freundlich, eher komplett desinteressiert und gab mir auch noch eine falsche Uhrzeit für das Frühstück (8 statt 7 Uhr - und ich was sehr früh wach..). Außerdem ist die Umgebung des Hotels seeehr unschön, fast hässlich.
