De plek, het personeel was super vriendelijk. Lekkere bedden. Top ontbijten. 50 m vanaf strand. Prachtig uitzicht op de kustlijn.

De trap naar boven slaapvertrek was niet prettig om te belopen in het appartement. Maatvoering klopt niet. Naar WC gaan beneden is dan nachts niet prettig

5.0

Bedroom on ground floor with a bedroom above it. Woodern floor boards as ceiling. Excessive noise until after midnight from guests in the room above walking around, talking, dragging items around and dropping items onto the floor. Non intentional I'm sure. This noise disturbance again began early in the morning. So to get decent sleep was just a wishful dream.

Close proximity to the beach and all restaurants. It is an intimate town. The staff were excellent and extremely helpful.

There was no TV to watch my sports, but this wasn't a deal breaker. I will definitely come again, even if there's no TV.

The staff were great and very helpful . Everything you need is provided . Very clean .

We had two bad nights sleep .. we were in no 3 directly under the eating area . Can hear everything above. If I had to be really critical ..coffee was average . Coffee is a game changer for me personally .
