10/10 Exceptional! (1 review)
Hotel ist neu und sehr zentral gewesen. Dementsprechend sehr sauber. Viele Mitarbeiter sind sehr hilfsbereit. Pool Größe ist in Ordnung, aber nicht so groß. Zu unserem Pech hatte Dachterasse eine Woche lang ein Problem und man konnte nicht hoch. Das war nicht so toll. Es gibt nicht so viel Auswahl für Vegetarier beim Frühstück. Im a la Carte Prinzip. Zimmer ohne Balkon nicht zu empfehlen im Sommer. Im Hotel ist noch eine Boulangerie, wo man für den Kleinen Hunger immer etwas bekommt. Der Mitarbeiter dort ist super nett gewesen und hatte viele Tipps für uns. Viele Restaurants sind zu Fuß erreichbar. Strände in der Nähe sind etwas überfüllt und klein. Im Umkreis gibt es schönere. Vor Ort haben wir ein Auto ohne Probleme gemietet. Und ein Taxi hat das Hotel für uns organisiert.

A very nice hotel. The room was large with nice furnishings and amenities. The bed was very comfortable. Downsides were that our window looked directly across at a strip club, and there were no outlets or charging ports near the bedside tables.
