"Всё новое чистое, можно было бы добавить полотенца для пляжа. Постепенное бельё принесли на 7 день прибывания, полотенца приносят каждые 3 дня. Капсулы для кофе и туалетная бумага по запросу. Теннисный корт с ракетами €40 в час, padel €35. В ресторанах меню повторяется, очень нас это огорчило. Везде расплачиваться только карточкой можно, кроме магазина. В аквапарке никто не следит за порядком, даже первую помощь некому первую помощь сделать. Остальное всё очень хорошо, спокойно."

"A lovely place with friendly staff. Very clean room and literally steps from the beach. The only thing that could have improved it would have been a kettle in the room, although they were happy to provide hot water from the kitchen when I asked. Convenient bus stop rifht outside.Would absolutely return! We hired the exiles too, fun."
