Horizon Beach Hotel - Harry & Liz Aug 2023

Just come back from 10 days at Horizon Beach Hotel. The property was clean and appropriately fitted out for a three star hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is a short walk from the centre of the resort. There are ample car parking space on-site. Overall I thought the Horizon Beach Hotel offered good value for money.

Tolle Lage, ruhig aber schnell fußläufig am Strand bzw im Ort bei den Restaurants. Sehr freundliches Personal. Tolle Terrasse für das Frühstück. Viel frisches Obst, das Buffet könnte aber ansprechender gestaltet sein (sehr zweckmäßig). Leider war es nicht sauber, Spinnweben, fremde Haare im Bett, Kaffeetassen im Zimmer unbrauchbar und die Handtücher stanken fürchterlich und waren dreckig. Uns hat der Balkon mit Meerblick gefallen und die ausreichenden Parkplätze direkt vor Ort.

It was off-season so there were only a few other people (maybe like 5) at the hotel grounds. The owner greeted us welcomingly when we arrived by car. Check-in and out was easy. The room and balcony view was great. Clean, nice beds, bright room. Close to one of the beaches and at walking distance to the town. We enjoyed our time there.

Siisti hotelli, lyhyt matka kivalle rannalle

Siisti perushotelli hyvällä paikalla Plakiaksen kivoimpien rantojen lähellä. Saimme perusvarauksesta huolimatta sattumalta hienon ison terassin omaavan huoneen, josta oli upea näköala lahden ylle ja kiva viettää siestaa varjossa. Hotelli ei ole ihan keskustassa, mutta sieltä on varsin lyhyt kävelymatka läheiseen supermarketiin, josta haimme aamupalan, lähellä on myös hyviä ravintoloita. Henkilökunta oli varsin ystävällistä. Auton sai hyvin hotellin parkkipaikalle.
