Super beach hotel. Enough sunbeds and umbrellas available. Very friendly staff and great. A great hotel with bad management. Super great food, is something for everyone. All inclusive could be a bit more, little choice. We were always well served and advice. Could on the day of departure for 25 euros until the departure in the room remain. At 34 degrees was of course great, thank you! Read more

The hotel is partly newly renovated, some rooms are still in the renovation, air conditioning fell 3a 4 times longer from. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Room on the ground floor rather awkward with closet in the bathroom, 1 or 2 floor better. Somewhat annoying the background music (often the same CD and since rather kassisch) in cash and restaurant Read more

the audience is mixed, mainly German and Russians, but all pleasant were. Read more
