מלון מהמם! בהחלט נחזור!
Pros:

מקום יפיפה בחוף שקט ורגוע, ארוחות מושקעות וטעימות מאוד!
חדר מרווח עם חצר ובריכה פרטית שהוסיף לחוויה!
אישרו לנו צ׳ק אווט מאוחר ללא תוספת.
צוות מלון שירותי מאוד!

Cons:

חוף לא נגיש לרחצה, יפיפה ממש אבל מבאס שלא ניתן להיכנס בקלות בגלל סלעים וקיפודי ים.
מים חמים לרחצה לא תמיד היו.
תפריט ארוחות צהרים-ערב צריך להיות מהגוון יותר כמו תפריט ארוחת הבוקר שמשתנה מיום ליום

Un vrai paradis ! Nous reviendrons c’est sur !
Pros:

Hôtel exceptionnel ! Endroit idyllique ! La vue à couper le souffle ! La gentillesse du personnel ! Calme, reposant, un vrai paradis ! La nourriture était excellente, rien à dire tout était parfait ! Nous vous conseillons de venir ici et de fuir les resorts pleins de monde !

Больше воды оставлять в номере
Cons:

С детьми сложно там ,так как отлив …а когда прилив ,глубокого и со ступенек сразу в море .Мы плавали с ребенком 3 лет в круге ,но вот младше сложнее .Вид шикарный конечно ,но хотелось бы без отливов и плавать в любое время ,а не в определенное.

Pros:

Het is een mooie rustige plek maar helaas viel het tegen. De kamers zijn wat verouderd en onhandig ingedeeld, met een gordijn dat de badkamer van de kamer moet scheiden. Het buitenlicht kan je niet zelf uit doen, het staat tot laat aan en schijnt de kamer in. ‘S avonds kwamen er veel vliegende mieren (door kieren want we hielden alles dicht), en konden we niet slapen door knagende houtworm of boktor in het bedframe. Na dit te hebben gemeld werd de kamer gelijk grondig schoongemaakt, helaas met zo’n intens vieze penetrante geur van de verdelgingsspray dat we er hoofdpijn van kregen. En de insecten bleven komen. We zijn twee nachten eerder vertrokken omdat we comfort misten, wat je voor deze prijs wel minstens verwacht.
