Rekommenderar inte

Hotellet är smutsigt både i rummen och på allmänna ytor. Frukosten serverades i en matsal utan AC då utomhustemperaturen låg på 37 grader. Otrevlig personal. Vi debiterades en stor summa pengar för mycket som personalen lovade att vi skulle få tillbaka, men inte har fått. Underhållning som tillhandahålls av personal där de själva sjöng karaoke till sent på natten. Rekommenderar verkligen inte detta hotell.

Hotell rom, uteområde, service og mat

Flott hotell. Veldig fint og reint rom, flott balkong. Flott basseng og badestrand. Veldig dårlig luft i spiselokalene. Dårlig frokost, nesten bare kaker. Lunsj og middag var av dårlig kvalitet, vi spiste på nabohotellet. Forferdelig høy musikk hele dagen. Smilende resepsjonister, men de kunne ikke engelsk, vi brukte Google translate.
