This self catering hotel suited us perfectly as it had a great pool which was not busy and it was only a few steps down onto the sandy beach. The towels in the room were changed daily (if we wanted them to be changed) and beds made etc. It is not the 4 star facility that some people would want, but if you do not want all the bells and whistles and just want a lovely family run self catering hotel in the best location then you cannot beat this one.

The hotel delivered what made us choose it: location right in front of the beach, pool, nearby a broad offer of restaurants and other commodities. We were also positively impress by the service minded personnel. However, the cleaning was poor. The floor was often full of sand and dust were never cleaned from the surfaces.

Freundliches Personal. Tolle Lage. Direkt am Meer, fussläufig alles super zu erreichen. Hier und das braucht es aber dringend Instandhaltung. Auch ein wenig sauberer hätte es unterm Bett sein können. Mobiliar schon sehr veraltet. Dennoch, wir würden wieder kommen.

Die schlimmste Unterkunft, die wir als Familie je gebucht haben. Von übelstem Schimmelgeruch, schmutziger Bettwäsche und Geschirr. Unterirdisch was hier für den Preis und angeblich Superior Appartement geboten wurde, Bilder entsprechen nicht der Realität! Wenn ihr es doch ausprobieren möchtet definitiv ohne Vorauszahlung, wir sind nach 1 Nacht ausgecheckt und haben keinen Cent wiederbekommen, da der Hotelier nichts von den Mängeln wissen wollte und hat alles auf Expedia geschoben. Expedia beruft sich hier auf nonrefundable Rate des Hotels und kann absolut nicht weiterhelfen. Pure Enttäuschung!!!!

Great location

Location was very good in a quite place on the beach and in 10 vinutes walk to bar street. Room wasn't very comfortable, but it has a good price for such location. Owner was polite but can't help you and other staff was good.

I come back to thishottel every sammer from now

Pros: Just WoW for this excellent deal we got room with sea view private beach, supermarket was 5 min by foot,very close to the main BAR road(5-8 min by foot) where all the madness happens .Room was cleaned every day. Cons: Manager is little bit crazy, asking to be quite after 20:00 if you sit outside besides he not allows to drink your own alcoholic drinks near the pool...

Passez votre chemi

1-l'emplacement: seul point positif de cette hôtel donne directement sur la mer et piscine avec vu sur la mer. Mais (et ce n'est que le début des mais) hôtel mitoyen extrêmement bruyant diffusant sans se soucier des décibel une musique de beauf de 9h-20h. Nous somme pourtant un jeune couple aimant l'animation mais le bruit était insupportable 2- la chambre: aucun rapport avec les photo. Mal entretenu parfois ménage non fait, serviettes oubliées, pas de savon, fenêtre qui vous tombent dessus pendant la douche et j'en passe 3- le staff directeur extrêmement mal aimable. Radin. Supplément demandé pour tout : transat, clim etc... Un conseil passez votre chemin
