Enkel rom i rolig omgivelse
Fantastisk hyggelig personal, maten var bra i Restaurangen som var åpen hele dagen. Rommen er enkla kun med seng, nattbord, innbygd hylle og gratis safe og uteplass eller balkong. Stranden er ikke det beste men det går å bada. All innredning er lokalt tilvirket enkla men helt ok. Likte best at det var rolig og stille på hotellet. Litt tungvint system når man vil ha rommet rengjort då måtte man levere nøkkelen til resepsjonen. Kommer gjerne tilbake.

L’hôtel est incroyable. Il est intimiste, au bord de plage et le personnel est tout simplement aux petits soins. Pour avoir dîner dans plusieurs autres hôtels, je ne regrette aucunement mon choix. Le restaurant est très bien. La masseuse Anna est incroyable. Chambre nettoyée tout les jours si vous le souhaitez. Rien à redire.

Perfekt för avkoppling
Hotellet var helt underbart, god mat, fräscht på rummet och allmänna utrymmen, trevlig personal. Ett extra plus var sällskapsspelen dom hade i restaurangen som man fick låna gratis.
