Pros:

La buena atención del personal, nos recibieron con mucha amabilidad, todo el personal super buena disposición. La comida muy rica. En cuanto al lugar muy lindo, y la terraza rica

Cons:

El ventilador de la pieza no tenía potencia, por lo que dormimos con mucho calor.
Dado que el hotel está en la orilla del mar se escuchaban muy fuertes las olas. Le vendría muy bien una piscina y mejor conexión para llegar al centro, pues la forma sugerida era cruzando por las terrazas de otros hoteles que tambien daban al mar.

Estancia maravillosa
Pros:

El desayuno delicioso y variado, el personal del hotel muy atento y servicial, las asoleadoras frente al mar espectaculares para relajarse con una buena vista, la comida a la carta deliciosa.

Cons:

El sonido del mar es muy fuerte en la habitación qué estuvimos en el segundo piso y hace bastante calor, ya que solo cuentan con ventilador, aunque lo compensó la vista parcial al mar y la comodidad de la habitación.

Schönes, kleines Hotel direkt am Strand mit freundlichen Personal zum Abschalten.
Pros:

Die Lage ist super. Das Personal ist super freundlich und hilfreich bei Fragen. Die Zimmer haben ein schönes Design, sind einfach, und haben alles, was es braucht.

Cons:

Das Wifi war zu unserer Zeit sehr schlecht.
Kein Warmwasser, war aber auch nicht nötig.
Es gibt keinen wirklichen eigenen Strand. Aber ein echter Strand ist nur 1min entfernt.

Pros:

I loved everything. The room was calm and cozy, no noises. I didn't think I was going to love the little terrace, but it ended up being very useful. The food and drinks were amazing as well! And the staff very attentive.

Cons:

Well, Booking advertised rooms with sea view but according to the staff, those rooms dont have AC and the sea view it's not that grand, which is why I ended up loving the room on the first floor with AC and a little terrace.

Gerne wären wir länger geblieben.
Pros:

Hotel ist direkt am Strand. Wir hatten die Suite (fast im Wasser - hihi) Daher war es Nachts bei einem starken Wellengang etwas laut. Aber das ist Natur. Wir fanden es super, dass es ein sehr kleines Hotel war. für uns lag es optimal, um spazieren zu gehen und ins Dorf zu laufen oder zu anderen Restaurants.

Cons:

Die Liegen hätten besser beschattet sein können.
