Great but next time I stay on the beach side I will make sure I get a room with a balcony....
Pros:

we stayed on the beach side ....The beach was right outside the hotel a few steps and we were there ...had ocean seaview

Cons:

The breakfast did not have the same selection as the main building. Also had to put towels outside shower ...no shower doors and water would come out making a mess in the washroom ...no drain. Also noted that the washroom had no ventilation (no fan) when you used it it would smell thru the whole room.

Nice location , nice reception area the rest of the hotel is starting to look very dated .geared towards old customers I
Pros:

Location , swim pool .

Cons:

Breakfast was very average.
Also future ( chairs & tables ) in rooms need rubber pads to stop the noise transfer on tiles and hard floors. So loud from rooms above and below.

Pros:

Location is brilliant. This is only thing was nice

Cons:

The hotel was pretty bad; the rooms were outdated and it was mostly full of elderly people. The staff didn't speak much English, breakfast didn't start until 8 a.m., and the pool bar only had two types of alcohol and hardly any ice cream. I wouldn't recommend staying here. Roms are very dark , even day time not enough lighting.

Skøn beliggenhed
Pros:

Beliggenhed - absolut fantastisk- en af de bedste strande, vi har besøgt- dejligt roligt og alligevel kort afstand til restauranter, fest og farver.

Cons:

Der er så meget potentiale i hotellet, som slet ikke er brugt, udnyttelsen virkede halvhjertet - halvkedelige anretning af morgenmad, total kedelig café, kedelige møbler. Mangelfuld information omkring “hoved-hotel” - selvom alle ansatte var de sødeste mennesker.
