Pros:

Die Unterkunft ist richtig schön gelegen und das Essen ist super.

Cons:

Die Unterkunft ist verhältnismäßig teuer. Und die Besitzerin ist wahnsinnig streng, zum Beispiel durfte ich nicht hinein, bevor ich cash bezahlen konnte. Und das , obwohl ich wegen deren Computerproblemen nicht mit Kreditkarte zahlen konnte. Das fand ich sehr kleinlich und wenig gastfreundlich.

Charming huts with a beautiful seaside setting
Pros:

Very small, simple wooden huts — extremely rustic, but they have everything you need. If you’re okay with basic comfort, it’s a really nice experience.

The setting is the real highlight: right by the sea, with a super cute atmosphere. The hotel’s restaurant/bar is perfectly located for sunset, which made our evening really special.

Personnel gentil mais le confort et l’emplacement ne correspondent pas vraiment au prix payé.
Pros:

Le personnel est gentil.
L’ambiance est familiale
Nous sommes restés 3 nuits en famille avec 2 enfants

Cons:

Si vous cherchez un bungalow très sommaire, pas très propre, sans climatisation, avec une moustiquaire abîmée et une vue donnant sur le parking et la réception, cet endroit peut vous convenir.

Nous avons été réveillés très tôt le matin (vers 6h30) par le bruit des scooters et malheureusement nos enfants ont eu beaucoup de piqûres d’insectes malgré les prises anti-moustiques et les produits répulsifs.
Le ménage et les lits ne sont faits que tous les trois jours.

L’hôtel est indiqué comme étant en bord de mer, mais la plage devant est rocheuse et n’est pas utilisable. La première vraie plage de sable se trouve environ à 10 minutes de marche sur les rochers. C’est d’ailleurs là que nous avons pris nos petits déjeuners et nos dîners.
Personnellement je n’y reviendrai pas.

Rustic
Pros:

Nice central location at the end of Long Beach. Bungalows looked cute from the outside. Lovely staff

Pros:

Le cadre est magnifique, l’environnement est superbe et atypique, avec de nombreux commerces à proximité. L’emplacement est agréable (même s’il faut louer un scooter ou prendre un taxi pour rejoindre le centre).

Cons:

l’état intérieur du logement est totalement inacceptable.

Le réfrigérateur était extrêmement sale. Mais le plus grave concerne la literie. Pendant tout le séjour, notre fils a fait de nombreuses crises d’asthme, ce qui nous a poussés à chercher une éventuelle cause dans le logement. En retirant les draps avant notre départ, nous avons découvert que les matelas et les oreillers étaient moisis. Les oreillers étaient jaunes, tachés et clairement insalubres, la moisissure étant dissimulée sous les draps.

Il est inadmissible de faire dormir des clients, et encore plus des enfants, sur une literie moisie.

Nous en avons informé la réceptionniste, qui s’est contentée de répondre « Ok », sans excuse ni prise en charge du problème.

Quel dommage, car le lieu pourrait être exceptionnel avec un minimum d’hygiène et d’entretien. En l’état, nous ne pouvons pas recommander cet hébergement.

Pros:

La struttura offre un servizio di ristorazione davvero ottimo: i piatti sono gustosi, ben preparati e serviti con cura. La qualità del cibo è decisamente elevata e contribuisce a rendere l’esperienza molto piacevole.
L’ambiente è poco informale ma mantiene un’atmosfera molto familiare, che mette subito a proprio agio e rende il momento del pasto ancora più gradevole.
L’unico aspetto su cui si potrebbe migliorare riguarda le sedute dell’area ristorante. Le sedie risultano leggermente scomode, un po’ troppo alte rispetto al tavolo e, durante la nostra visita, alcune lasciavano piccoli segni di vernice sugli abiti, probabilmente a causa di una finitura non perfetta.
Nonostante questo dettaglio, il servizio complessivo resta più che positivo, grazie alla bontà dei piatti, all’accoglienza del personale e all’atmosfera calda e familiare.

Cons:

Passiamo alla nota dolente: i cosiddetti “bungalow”. Chiamarli così, sinceramente, è un eufemismo. Il nostro sembrava più una baracca che una sistemazione pensata per ospitare turisti.
La mancanza di privacy era evidente fin da subito. Il bagno affacciava direttamente su una stradina e le doghe che avrebbero dovuto fare da parete divisoria presentavano spazi di 2–3 cm tra l’una e l’altra. Durante le docce, questo significava non avere praticamente nessuna privacy: da fuori filtravano luce, aria e, soprattutto, la sensazione netta di essere completamente esposti. L’aspetto generale del bagno era inoltre pericolante: il lavabo non era fissato correttamente e sembrava pronto a staccarsi da un momento all’altro.
Le notti, spesso ventose, peggioravano notevolmente la situazione. All’interno del bungalow sembrava di essere in una galleria del vento: il telo grigio posto a protezione del soffitto si muoveva come una vela, producendo rumori continui e fastidiosi per tutta la notte. Riposare adeguatamente era praticamente impossibile, un’esperienza molto deludente.
Nel complesso, il bungalow è stata un’enorme delusione e rappresenta un punto critico che meriterebbe un intervento strutturale immediato.
