nuit fort sympathique et vue imprenable
Pros:

Chambre avec un grand lit, avec un poster de bateau sur le mur en face original, et une terrasse avec une vue magnifique sur la plage. Propre, spacieux, très bon petit déjeuner, proche de l'accès à la mer et de balade dans les zones de restaurant et de bords de mer sympathiques (marche sur des km sur des caillebotis avec des café accessibles).

Cons:

RAS

Pros:

Hotelli sijainti oli todella hyvä; lähellä rantaa ja rauhallisella paikalla. Huone oli tilava, siisti ja ilmastoitu. Parveke, jolta oli näköala merelle oli täydellinen. Aamiainen oli monipuolinen.

La ubicación y la limpieza

Cons:

La bañera era un poco incómoda para ducharte y para entrar en la bañera y el duchon se movía mucho. Sería bueno que fuera ducha.
