Nice stay
Pros:

The hotel is close to the beach and the main spots in town. We stayed in the private room for the first part of our stay and then in the mixed dorm for the second part of our stay. Both rooms were spacious and clean. The staff was professional and always ready to help.

אין תמורה למחיר
Pros:

המיקום מעולה ממש קרוב לחוף ים הצוות שירותי

Cons:

המזגן היה נוראי הדלקנו מזגן ומאוור ביחד ובחדר היה עדיין חם ביקשנו לעבור חדר הביאו מפתח לחדר אחר שגם שם הייתה את אותה הבעיה
אין בחדר שום ציוד מעבר למינימום הנדרש - אין מקרר אין קומקום/כוסות לקפה תה וכזה אין כספת לשמירת החפצים היקרי ערך אין מסך טלוויזיה
הגענו והשמיכה הייתה מלוכלכת ביקשנו שיחליפו האיש נעלם ולא חזר עם שמיכה ירדנו לקחת אחת בעצמנו מהקבלה
בקיצור לא שווה את המחיר היינו במקומות אחרים באזור שעלו באותו סכום והיו הרבה יותר מאובזרים ונוחים

Nice pool but rowdy guests spoiled our stay
Pros:

Nice pool
Clean
Good location

Cons:

Shame that the property weren’t serving any food
Some of the Israeli quests were in big groups being very noisy and rude and the staff could have done more to manage this. It spoiled our stay
