Pros:

Localização. Bom pequeno almoço. Quarto grande e limpo.

Cons:

Muito barulho. Pouco respeito pelo descanso dos hóspedes. 7 da manhã começa o bater de portas. Funcionária da limpeza com uma voz que encoa pelos corredores. Aspirador infernal....

Wat een geweldig verblijf!
Pros:

Wat hebben we een fijn verblijf gehad. Het personeel was geweldig. Het hotel ligt direct aan zee. We hebben heerlijk gegeten in het restaurant, zowel ontbijt als diner. Een tafeltje aan zee met een prachtig uitzicht. We hadden een kamer met zeezicht, zeker de moeite waard. 's Nachts hoor je het ruizen van de zee. De kamer was netjes en heel schoon. We kregen in plaats van een ontbijt een picknick pakketje mee omdat we een vroege ochtend hike hadden. Ook erg goed geregeld. Kortom alles was perfect!
