For a star hotel very good. For a longer stay we recommend a bungalow to take. Baden in the sea only conditionally possible. Through the strong surf is the bottom in the banks heavily rough. The hotel we have before and after a round trip for a short halfway point. Very recommendable also since it was close to the airport. Taxi to the airport costs between 10 and 12 Euro. No transfer about agent, way too expensive. … read more
