Guest Review: This place is the most relaxing, aesthetic and beautiful place. While the weather is very very warm, this hotel has a few places where the tempature is fine, such as the terrace, the restaurant (which is outside, but feels like inside in the cold, sunbeds in shadow and wind - and inside the hotel room. We stayed at another hotel where it was not possible to find ease temperature outside of the hotel room. The pool is deep enough and long enough for actual swimming a bit. And the sound of this pool is also very relaxing. The beach is not as beautiful as north, still great though - but you kind of not need it for swimming while staying at this hotel. it is just nice to listen to it while you lay on the sundbeds. There is really not much to do around, so if that is for you - this is the hotel to choose.
Guest Review: Staff were so incredibly friendly and always there to help! Great access to the beach. Was small and intimate, perfect for solo travellers or even couples who want to get away from the busy crowds
