I wouldn’t stay here again

The grounds and plants are quite pretty and interesting. The beach is massive without weeds or debris. Our room was TINY! Barely big enough for a queen bed. Scuff marks lined the wall. The front desk staff was helpful though.

So-so

Photos are not super accurate. It has an RV park area, a camping area as well as the units. The unit itself had a small kitchen which would have been nice if we were there long, a bedroom with 3 twin beds and when you walk in, that also was a bedroom with a double (really 2 twins together with a sheet over them). The bathroom was ok - not super clean (ants on the floor) and the shower drain did no such thing. We used all the towels to soak up the flooded floor because there is nothing in the bathroom floor for that. Dinner was really good. Breakfast was some croissants that when we went 30 min after it opened were 80% gone and after sitting there for 10 min were never filled back up so we left without eating. That was pretty disappointing. The beach is nice. That was the best part of the place and we were only able to use it long enough to get some photos before we had to check out to go to work.

Mi hanno fatto pagare tariffe extra che non erano previste, in camera dopo aver pagato profumatamente non abbiamo trovato neanche una bottiglia d’acqua, né nessun altro servizio, trovate un frigo vuoto, un letto e qualche coperta stop In tutta la stanza una sola presa, non è possibile neanche caricare due telefoni contemporaneamente, almeno che non stacchiate il mini frigo

La camera che mi anno dato non corrisponde x quello che avevo pagato su expedia niente aria condizionata niente angolo cottura x avere queste cose ho dovuto sborsare non poco x non rovinare la vacanza della mia famiglia contattare expedia risulta impossibile e loro non anno sentito ragioni pur ammettendo che la proposta su expedia vantava aria condizionata con angolo cottura un raggiro a scapito dei clienti non mi aspettavavo niente del genere su expedia da cui non acquisterò più niente x le mie vacanze.

Nergånget. Dålig service. Liten frukost

Slitna rum. Ingen AC. Hårda sängar. Livat på natten utanför så var svårt att sova. Frukosten var kaffe och ett bröd per person. Adressen stämde inte så det var väldigt omständligt att ena hitta fram. Fin strand var ett plus i alla fall.
