Virkelig god placering - lige ved stranden og tæt på supermarked. Restauranten var også god - også naborestauranten. God rengøring. Man kunne altid finde strandstole på stranden. Alt i alt mega godt

Veldig hyggelige ansatte. Følte oss veldig velkomne. Bar og restaurant hadde åpnet fra morgen til kveld, så innsjekk gikk fint selv om resepsjonen var stengt. Internettet kunne med fordel vært raskere.

Fremragende beliggenhed - lige ved stranden.

Helt igennem perfekt ophold. Vi havde 2 vær. lejlighed i 2 etager - med fuld panorama udsigt. Adgang til solsenge på egen strand (som man dog skal betale for at benytte). Lille restaurant der serverer mad og drikkevarer. Virkelig god service. Eneste ting man skal være opmærksom på er at det kan være en udfordring for gangbesværede. Der er rigtig mange trapper.

Okej för läget och priset

Väldigt få solstolar vid poolen och poolen var ganska liten. De tog betalt för stolarna på stranden. Städningen var inte toppenbra, det var mest bäddning och golven sopades. Poolbaren sköttes separat och där var bra service och goda drinkar!
