Excellent location. Practically on the beach

The hotel is a modest hotel. Practically on the beach which is a big plus.breakfast is ok, nothing to brag about. Make sure you reserve a room with a/c, during the summer it's hot and the humidity is sky high The Wi-Fi is the worse, I had to go to the waves restaurant next door to connect .

En dÄrlig oplevelse

Hotellet levede ikke op til almindelige krav Vi skulle bede om hÄndlÊder der var slidte Air comdition virkede ikke og strÞmmen blev taget om natten sÄ fanen ikke virkede. VandstrÄlerne var fÄ og kolde Lyset virkede ikke pÄ badevÊrelset SengetÞjet snusket og der var kun en usikker plaststol pÄ terrassen Personalet var modvillige til at hjÊlpe Alt i alt sÄ ucomfortabelt sÄ anden nat valgte vi et andet hotel

HÎtel peu accueillant et délabré

RĂ©servation effectuĂ©e il y a plusieurs mois en sea view. A l arrivĂ©e nĂ©anmoins, aucune chambre de ce type n Ă©tait disponible et j ai finalement eu une vue sur le parking. Sanitaires sales, vĂ©tustes et dĂ©labrĂ©s. Draps tachĂ©s Ă  l arrivĂ©e. Complexe d avoir de l eau chaude, et mĂȘme de l eau tout court.... conditions d hygiĂšne tellement dĂ©plorables que nous sommes restĂ©s une nuit au lieu de deux. Personnel peu avenant et peu aimable. Pas de wifi contrairement Ă  ce qui est indiquĂ© sur le site. Établissement vivement Ă  dĂ©conseiller.

Kan nesten ikke bli verre

Jeg har reist mange steder og vÊrt pÄ mange forskjellige hoteller, og jeg kan med hÄnden pÄ hjertet si at dette er et av de tre verste jeg noensinne har vÊrt pÄ. Vi ble mÞtt i resepsjonen av en vertinne som utstrÄlte misnÞye over at vi kom, og at alt var et stort ork. Selve oppholds- og soverommet var greit, men det var ingen rengjÞring og skifte av sengetÞy. Badet var elendig, hadde ikke dusjforheng (sÄ hele badet ble vÄtt hver gang vi dusjet), og vi mÄtte selv etterspÞrre sÄpe til toalettet. Begge nettene slo aircondition seg av, og vi hadde store problem med Ä sove. Forklaringen fÞrste natt var at voucheren for strÞm hadde gÄtt ut. Dag to gikk bare strÞmmen, og vi var uten AC. Det positive var at rommet hadde wi-fi og vi sÄ ingen dyr/insekter inne.
