Het is een leuk hotel. We hadden een goede kamer met uitzicht over de zee. Het ontbijt was prima en het diner was goed. Wel is de zaal wat onpersoonlijk en groot. W ik zouden hier graag terugkomen

We received an upgrade to the seafront apartment which was amazing - fantastic accommodation complete with a large balcony overlooking the sea. The proximity to the beach for all the accommodation was brilliant though.
