Sehr schöne 5 Tage
Pros:

Die Unterkunft war besser als erwartet ,nach den Kritiken
Es war sauber,man konnte jeden Tag neue Handtücher und was man sonst noch brauchte bekommen.
Wir hatten eins von den Zimmern direkt unten am Strand,was natürlich super war. Nur man musste die Koffer zwei Treppen nach unten schleppen,falls man körperlich eingeschränkt ist,sind dann die Zimmer nicht ideal .
Fußläufig gibt es 3 Restaurants und ein Eiskaffee,welches ich am meisten empfehlen würde,zum einen wenn man Glück hat ist Britta da und man kann deutsch sprechen und der Cappuccino,Pralinen und Eis spitze.
Es gibt einen Raucherplatz,am Parkplatz,falls man Recht weit weg davon ist,muss man sich anderweitig zu helfen wissen.
Bei uns hingen oft die roten Fahnen und man durfte wegen Wellen und Strömungen nicht ins Wasser,damit muss man da wohl oft rechnen.

It was good!
Pros:

Convenient to restaurants and the beach.

Cons:

I was not expecting to have to climb so many stairs to get back to the parking lot. I will know if we stay here again to get a second floor room instead of the first floor because of all the stairs I am disabled so I had a hard time. Thank goodness my daughter in law was with me to help transport our luggage and Good Samaritans that offered help. Hopefully you will have another ramp built to the bottom floor. The water hoses to wash the sand off needs to be repaired also. Hopefully the weather will be better next time we can’t control the weather!😊

It was cool but I wouldn’t recommend or stay there again.
Pros:

It’s beach front

Cons:

It’s overcrowded for parking and I didn’t like how the place looks nothing like the picture. It looks old and outdated with an old mildew smell. Room was extremely tiny and crowed. Wasn’t worth the money in my opinion

Pros:

Price , location,

Cons:

The rented chairs taking over the water front , fine to put rented chairs at front just leave space in between for personal chairs..we make a point to get to the beach early to get a good space and the chair gentleman put chair very close..I mean less than arms length.
This seem to only be where personal chairs are..
