Too expensive

Way too expensive considering what you get. Poor breakfast. Images were a bit misleading - seemed like the hotel is right on the beach, which it is not.

Ho passato insieme alla mia ragazza 9 notti in questa struttura, che dire, esperienza bellissima! Personale estremamente cortese e disponibile, tra dipendenti e i gestori Daniele e Georgia, sempre pronti ad assolvere ogni richiesta. Cibo fantastico, location ottima a due passi dalla spiaggia, spazi comuni puliti e silenziosi, adatti a rilassarsi. L'unica pecca, e' che la vacanza prima o poi termina. Torneremo sicuramente!
