Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Die Lage ist wunderschön, die Ausstattung war mal sehr schön, wird aber nicht gut instand gehalten. Das Essen im Restaurant war mittelmäßig, das Frühstück allerdings gut. An Silvester hatte nicht mal die Bar bis 24.00 Uhr geöffnet. Das Personal an der Rezeption war unfreundlich. Insgesamt bei den Preisen nicht zu empfehlen.

Prima voor een nachtje
We hebben hier een nacht verbleven. Standaard kamers, zoals je van een keten kunt verwachten. Wel een mooi balkon met zeezicht. Ontbijt was prima en divers. Eten vonden we niet geweldig. Maar er is genoeg in de buurt. Leuke locatie vanwege de vele pelikanen.
