Helt underbart!
Detta boendet kan vi varmt rekommendera! Underbart läge och mycket fin service. Stranden är jättefin och superfint att bada vid högvatten. Poolområdet med tre pooler och också väldigt fint, även där finns det sand. Hotellpersonalen är helt fantastisk och maten är kanon! Det finns inte mycket att göra runtomkring men möjlighet till utflykter är mycket bra. Vi har faktiskt ingenting att klaga på.
