Pros:
This hotel is just a 5-minute walk to the beach, making it incredibly convenient. There are plenty of great restaurants within walking distance, and a nearby supermarket adds to the convenience. The area feels safe, which is a big plus. The pool is large, and there’s also a designated play area for kids.
Cons:
The room condition shows a bit of its age, which is noticeable but didn’t significantly impact our stay.

Trevligt hotell
Trevlig hotell som har bra frukost och middagbuffé. Fin pool och trevliga allmäna sällskapsrum. Rummen skulle kunna ha bättre bäddning med flera kuddar, samt bäddad säng med varmare täcken. Några saker som satt lösa i badrummet, så det skulle behöva ses över.

Nice quiet family hotel, I would go again!
Nice hotel, nice staff, clean and modern. Mostly Germans staying, a few Brits, mixture of families and older couples, and just one group of young men while we were there, so no rowdy parties to contend with. Queue for dinner buffet opening is a bit of a bunfight and we experienced some angry guests accusing the others of jumping the line, so just go down 10 minutes later to avoid any international conflicts!!! The food is good and varied, but we struggled a bit on several nights being vegetarians as the choice for use was more limited than we perhaps would have liked. It’s ridiculously easy to get to the airport, just 10 mins in cab, but we didn’t feel the airport was close by at all during our stay so don’t let that put you off….. in summary a great place to spend a week in the sun with our German cousins!
