We went through a colder weather, and we had so much fun on the amenities since we would only visit the beaches around.

Cons:

The bathroom is very small.

Beautiful ocean front hotel.
Pros:

Ocean front hotel with balcony.

Cons:

There are no restaurant options within walking distance. We had to Uber to the town for lunch and dinner. The hotel offers continental breakfast which was really good.

Pros:

Tolle Lage in erster Reihe zum Meer (es trennt einen nur eine Straße). Alle Zimmer sind zum Meer hin ausgerichtet und haben einen großzügigen Balkon oder eine Terrasse mit schönen Outdoor-Möbeln. Auch innen sind die Zimmer sehr schön eingerichtet. Die Betten waren herrlich bequem und obwohl wir da sehr empfindlich sind, war es angenehm leise.

Der Pool und der sehr warme Whirlpool sind auch super. Auf dem Gelände gibt es viele schöne sitzmöglichkeiten und Outdoor spiele.

Wir durften deutlich früher einchecken und ein wenig später auschecken, was unser Leben mit Baby sehr viel entspannter gemacht hat für diese Zeit.

Wir hatten eine ganz tolle Zeit dort und wären gerne länger geblieben.

Cons:

Das Frühstück ist recht simpel gehalten und leider war ca eine Stunde vor Ende schon vieles sehr abgegrast und wurde auch gar nicht oder nur nach Aufforderung wieder nachgelegt.

Im Zimmer hingen vereinzelt Dosen von Kabeln lose von der Wand.

Bel hôtel. Néanmoins la proximité avec la piscine ne permet pas la tranquillité attendue dans un lieu pareil où je venai
Pros:

L’emplacement est le point majeur de de qui m’a plus.

Cons:

La salle d’eau bien trop petite et équipement vieillissant

Classic and confortable!
Pros:

We loved everything about this property! It’s beautiful! And there were so many lovely touches to make our stay even more personal and enjoyable. We loved the view from the dining room, the hammocks on the lawn, free bikes to borrow, dvds, books, a billiards table, a fire pit. And the room was clean, comfortable and pretty! The deck furniture was so inviting! We wished we could have stayed longer!

Cons:

The bathroom was a bit small and did not have a fan, but it was clean and got the job done!

Amazing seaside location, friendly staff, beautiful pool, rocky coast—a perfect oceanfront getaway!
Pros:

Each room has a wall of glass that gives you big views of the ocean and your own patio or balcony. The staff was all so nice. The pool is big and spotless, the hot-tub cozy, and there's tons of beautiful outdoor space to lounge. My son loved the outdoor chess set with chessmen almost as big as his body! Want to clamber on the rocks all day by the sea waves?: just cross the road. Nice wood benches there too. This whole curve of coast is lovely. No ugly development in sight from here. The breakfast room is also great: walls of glass, sweeping sea view.

Cons:

We loved our days here. The breakfast is a standard hotel breakfast - nice variety but no hot foods like eggs or sausage.
