Pros:

Beautiful unique style rooms, kept clean.
Lovely bath with a view.
Enjoyed breakfast on the seafront.

Cons:

The 'heated' pool was a bit colder than I thought it would be but was good to have as an option as the sea was too rough to swim in when we were there.
It would have been more enjoyable if it was a little warmer.

Ihana hotelli💗
Pros:

Olimme hotellin lokakuun lopussa superior sviitissä viikon ja nautimme todella olostamme. Huone oli kaunis, sänky oli hyvä. Aamiainen oli herkullinen.Meren kohina kuului huoneeseen ja näköala oli upea merelle.

Mereen pääsi uimaan kun otti muutaman askeleen.

Matka vanhaan kaupunkiin oli aika pitkä, mutta meitä se ei haitannut, koska tykkäämme kävellä.

Cons:

Sijainti oli esikaupunkialueella ja matka vanhaan kaupunkiin oli suht pitkä ja maisema välillä hieman epäsiisti

Pros:

Personnel au petit soin très agréable. Nous avons passer un très bon moment que se soit le soir sur la terrasse ou même le matin au petit déjeuner.

Cons:

Sur les photos nous avions le spa mais pas sur le réel et nous étions sensé avoir vu sur la mer et nous étions un peu plus vu sur la rue.
