"Perfekte Lage, direkt am Strand. Sehr freundliches Personal. Das Gelände wird 24/7 von der Security überwacht, damit nur Gäste und Hotelangestellte das Gelände betreten können. In der Nacht hört man die Wellen, da es keine geschlossenen Fenster gibt (Fliegengitter und Vorhang - that's it), ebenso hört man die Musik von der Strandbar, aber gegen 22Uhr ist Ruhe. Die Betten sind etwas hart, aber trotzdem hatte ich sehr entspannte Tage dort."
